I had a lot of fun with this game. Quite clever mechanics and a good implementation of role reversal.

A simple top-down space shooter, aiming with the mouse pointer.
-Move with the WASD keys or arrow keys.
-Left click is a long range projectile that slows down your ship's movement while firing.
-Right click is a short range wide projectile which does not slow you down, but stops your rotation while firing.
Unfortunately, there isn't an ending to the game. See how long you can survive for.
I'm fairly happy with how it turned out for my first Game Jam, and it was a good learning experience. I wanted to add a lot more features, such as weapon upgrades, other power ups, more enemies, score.. etc. However, I focused on aiming to have the game in a complete playable state.
Thanks for the feedback! Hehe, actually someone else mentioned the ship moving slow while going backwards. It's actually going slow while holding down the primary long range weapon. While you don't lose speed using the short range weapon. It's meant to be like a trade off for using each weapon. I should have made it more obvious.
