Reminds me of retro arcade games. Also easy to get the game running.

Fun game, the pixel graphics look really nice!

Fun And Retro!! Surprisingly well balanced, didn't think it would be hard but almost lost at the end! Feels a little too fluid and would like to be able to shoot myself. Love the graphics

I played on Mac and there were a lot of issues with the game freezing or not updating mouse position. Especially in between waves. That said, it's fun to try to get your score higher to see what the new weapon upgrade is going to be and what new types of enemies there will be.

Really fun game. Love the weapon upgrades. I just wish the game was a little bit longer because I was really enjoying it. Overall, solid game!

"Not that one!" Hahahaha. I won! It was pretty easy, but it was reeeally satisfying!! I loved how my bullets got crazier and crazier as time went on, it was very juicy!!

Nice game ! Some resolution issues on my PC but nothing important :)

Somehow it feels like the enemies can approach the planet faster than I can aim and fire, but eventually won, so I don't know... Good variety of enemies, interesting and fun. Good job!
