Nice, fast paced arcade with some lovely music :) I intended to just take a glimpse but ended up playing quite a while. 9000 points on my best run. The first ship seems to be the best for me, I suck at others even more. For some reason, I always forget to move the ship while shooting...

Some minor suggestions:
- Secondary weapon readiness could be indicated as a crosshair color etc. so I wouldn't have to move my eyes from the battle.
- It's sometimes hard to perceive the speed and movement. Parallax scrolling might help to indicate slow and fast movement simultaneously.
- UI could be more responsive: menu texts go easily outside the screen. (Common prototyping thing.)

I hope you keep developing this.

Thank you for the response. Really appreciate it.

The secondary on the crosshair is a good idea. I will remember that for the future projects.
The parallex is there, its just too slow as I see it.
As for menu, zoom out the page so you see the whole play screen. The resolution is 1080p so it does cause some problems.

As for this game, it is a one-off for the time being. More like practice and exploring different concepts before I can go for larger versions, and maybe get a job as well. I do intend to make bigger games out of these prototypes in the future. I do appreciate your feedback, it means a lot to me.

Thank you.
