I enjoyed the game, it was fun, had great music (not a fan of the SFX, but they weren't too obtrusive), and the BG colors didn't clash with the FG colors, which was good, because that made it easy to spot the ships. I do wish the entry was a bit more creative though, because this entry is unfortunately a bit plain...
Nice entry, fast and fun. The controls are spot on and the action keeps you on your toes. The music is pretty cool, too. Heck, being an LD entry with music is pretty cool!)
I felt the design was more simple than minimalist, though, and the action became routine as I "seated" myself on the edge on the screen and just moved up and down - in fact, you could have distilled the concept even more and have disposed of the left and right controls altogether.
As an example of what I mean, my entry is very similar in spirit to your game. In it, you also dodge killer geometrical figures (what's wrong with all those triangles and squares?? So much rage! XD). But I just use one button to control the action.
Nice music. Ran well in chrome. The momentum on the ship played out well and added to the challenge.

The drifty controls (which I enjoyed) and the spaceship-like shapes would have lent itself to a space theme. Scrolling stars, or a planet surface instead of moving buildings. Very simple game, but was enjoyable.

Great Job!
Not much to it really. The movement feels good, and I qutie liked the music.
This is my requisite mention that, as a red/green colorblind person, telling the ships apart is really hard.
