It's an interesting concept and I like it. However, it gets really tough as soon as the second moon appears. Maybe that's the point of it though. Good job :D

Cool idea, fast paced and fun!

Good concept, but the difficulty ramps up way too fast. Also, is it just the sound or are the shots slightly delayed?

Simple but interesting concept, quite a huge difference in difficulty between the two levels.

This game looks quite simple, but it is very well made. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/l1a-s63Ve1s

Good concept while keeping the controls simple. The 'shoot on mouse up' is a bit counter-intuitive, but it works. As an increase in difficulty, I rather expected there to be a new gameplay element than just increasing speed, maybe that's something to think about for a post-compo version? Overall, solid entry, no bugs, good job!

It’s a bit hard for me, as I use a TrackPoint instead of a mouse :) But it’s clean and polished, congrats.

Core mechanic of shooting is really hard. It requires perfect aiming and perfect timing. It is not usual for shooters.

it's hard (maybe a bit bigger collision box would be nice) but it makes fun! well done :)

Nice concept! Only if the enemy ships had a bigger bounding box...

As other said, quite difficult, but fun. Great work for a first Ludum Dare.
