A very simple idea and a okay fun game to play. Just some simple sound effects would make this game so much better.

the game has a very high difficulty curve and your spread is not very wide also you move very slowly for the gameplay

There were some cool things here. I liked the really big aliens that attacked. It added some nice variation. I think the most obvious avenue for improvement is with sound effects and then maybe some different types of ammo.

but other than that it is a great idea and the beginning is very fun

Nice reference to a classic! It works well ! The graphics are beautiful too. You could have put some music, at least generated.

Cool concept. Can definitely say that it works and is very expandable if you want to carry this on. Good job!

You can feel the tension as the alien horde encloses around the planet, and you know you can't save it. I made it to just a hair under 2 minutes. There's a lot of potential here in sound effects, new enemy types, waves, powerups.

Nice simple game, after some time the screen gets really crowded with enemies and there is no way of killing them all.

Considering you also made a web site - this is really impressive! :)

It would be better with some sound, but it's fun and the realisation is good.

An ok game, but it's kinda annoying that you turn so slowly.

Well fun take on classic game. I wish it had some weapon upgrades or something. Other than that good idea but sadly almost nothing to critique.

Simple, well executed mechanics. However, I think even some simple sound would have helped a lot, and some kind of power up system would have been nice.
