Very solid game. Played through to Nightmare +4, no health lost.

Some graphical flickering (Boss disappears with lots of bullets - flickering on damage?) and sound distortion at higher levels. Significant slow down in the nightmare levels - might need vectorisation or other optimisations to handle the quantity of objects. Ship power improvements might be an option - I ended up upgrading the cannon speed and just using the recoil to move around.

That said - probably the best game I have tried so far. Simple mechanics and idea but executed well. Despite balance being a bit too much in favour of the player, it was an enjoyable experience and kept me playing much longer than I expected. Nice work.

'U' are the weapon :P

Getting OP is sure satisfying, what spoils the fun for me is the recoil, my bullets push both me and the boss away from each other, making the fight a chore.
Was playing til Nightmare +5, then the game froze.

Thank you for playing my game! I didn't want to make the game to hard. Maybe i have gone too far. The boss getting pushed out of arena, is a bug, sorry!

Really great use of the theme! I loved the @steroids, Rockets, and others.

When you start the game it's pretty good but it's when you get OP where this game gets really fun, I got to a level where if I shoot I would be sent back to the limits of the level but also totally destroyed any enemy instantly.

"U" are the weapon. Clever!
