Cool implementation of the theme. Wasn't quite sure what to do for the first minute, so I ended up blowing up the ship in the middle, because it took about a minute for the first enemy to show, haha.
Though a bit of criticism, I thought the background was a bit hard on the eyes (atleast for me). And I'd wish the shop would pause the game or something, while I chose.
Here are some suggestions if you want to make this game better: * The time before the first ennemy is waaaayyyy to long. * The shooting button should not be a mouse button unless the mouse is also used for aiming. * Make ennemy bullets slower, it is impossible to avoid them. * The ship acceleration is way to slow. * This kind of "turning/accelerating" control usually works better if the camera is further (or the ships smaller), with slow ship and bullets speeds. * The game should pause in the shop
Cool game! I do agree with the others that I felt like I wanted a bit more control over the ship, or maybe some option in the shop to increase my movement speed/jet power?
One thing I would say is it's important to do a parralaxing star background (by having layers of stars moving at different speeds) to really give that depth feel and not make the background distracting.
I could see with some improvements this being a decent little shooter. I did the jam this time instead of the compo, but I feel for you on the pressure that you were up against and I know the struggle :) The important thing is you finished a game and it's not bad!

Overall, very simple and precise.
