Made in 30 hours (pure) for Ludum Dare #37 (One Room)

You were flying on your way back home, but got entrapped into mage's room, which is called "Loop of Eternity"! Now you have to defeat various spaceships in a rogue-like game with always increasing difficulty and fun!

Core mechanics of the game are the "Slow-Motion" and gun's "Overheating" effects in conjunction with the powerful Shop upgrades!

Controls:
Esc - Pause + Access to the Shop (don't forget to visit it!);
Hold Space - shooting;
Shift - Slow-Motion on/off;
Up/Down Arrow keys - movement;

Tools I used:
Krita + Inkscape - Art;
GameMaker: Studio - Code;
Bfxr.net: SFX

And, I hope that it's not cheating (I mean, there are many games nowadays which use tracks from the Net even not on a temporary basis), I picked a royalty-free background music (Rynos Theme) from here: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?collection=33&Search=Search

If that's prohibited, let me know and I'll re-upload the game without it.
