This is my first Ludum Dare, hoping to get better and take part in the future :D. You are attacked by enemies in waves. Green ships have the least health, deal the least damage and reward the least score, the purple ships are better in all aspects and the blue ships are the best. You take damage whenever you fire but can regenerate that by sacrificing the score that you gained from destroying enemy ships.

No audio because there is no sound in space ;)

Default controls are:
WASD for movement.
QE for rotation.
R to sacrifice points to regain health.
Space to fire.

Although the controls are a bit clunky there is an interesting concept here.

Not bad for a first-time LDer! Although as time progresses the screen becomes more cluttered with enemies which makes things a little difficult to see :)

At the beginning I could not figure it out how to effectively control this ship. This WSAD fooled me when only W + Q/E are enough :) Nice game idea.

Congratulations to your first LD!
The controls are hard to master and there is so many going on that it is confusing.
Graphics are quit functional.
I like the concept which fits good on the theme.
