How does your game fit the theme?
The spaceship breaks with every hit and it gets less responsive and more chaotic over time. I wanted to convey the feeling of chaos and to have a progresivelly harder game supported by its mechanics.

Great look and feel with a nice amount of polish! Fun little concept too! I have to admit, having A and D spin you horizontally inverted sort of breaks my brain, but there's a great start here. Would definitely play more :-)

An inspired and funny game full of action. Good job!

I just love the look of the game and there were a lot of control to remember at first but after playing for a while i got the hang of it.

Overall it's a really fun game

Nice work! This was a pretty fun game. I was a little overwhelmed by the instructions page at first, but got the hang of it after playing for a little. The turbo felt pretty good once I figured out how to use it proper. The part that I had the most trouble with was how dizzying the game could get if you lose control of your left or right boosters. At times, the enemies were a little hard to spot against the shield boosters, mines, and asteroids.

Otherwise, you captured things spiraling out of control, which was a little exciting.

Couldn't get it to start for some reason. It hangs after the controls, then shows a black screen with a weird blue blob at the bottom right corner of the screen
