Cool game! I could see this as a great middle level for an innovative bullet hell, and the control field is a really clever mechanic. The fact that you still (if you're more skilled than me XD) have a chance to recover rather than instant death, or generically taking damage is really cool!

I like this idea a lot. But the game is very unforgiving to mistakes. I had no idea how to get back into an area where I could control the ship more easily. Also, it seems like one of the types of enemies can pull me out of the control area?

More affordances/juice can really help the player intuitively understand when they are hit, when they hit something, and the state of the ship.

Also, I died a few times after getting launched in a direction (probably from my own lack of control outside the zone) and was going way faster than I could reason about. I'd recommend a cap on player speed.
