Wow, I REALLY like this! It’s interesting that some of the stats also have a downside - too much speed makes the ship harder to control, and lower enemy speed means they can turn more precisely.

I think it would be interesting if a lower number of weapon damage also reduced the weapon spread, i.e. made the weapons more accurate, making that a better tradeoff.

I experimented a few times choosing extreme values for each attribute to see how the gameplay was different, and wow, it was really different! If the game ramped up in difficulty, and had a score meter, I could definitely see myself playing this for a lot longer.

Thanks for the fun!

Good shmup. Reminds me a bit of my game ))

I like how some of the stats have both positives and negatives to choosing a high number for them. I wish all the stats were like that, so things like health were not something you always prioritize a high number for.
