Seems to have some potential, especially with the different weapons and powerups that felt very satisfying. Ship controls didn't feel like they suited the combat though. Something closer to asteroids where movement is detached from aim would make it easier to evade and fight at the same time as enemy count goes up.
The space theme is interesting in itself, and the fact that there is more than one attack is an added positive. It was difficult for me to aim the cannon at the enemy because of the constant rotation of the starship.
Needing to speed up and slow down to adjust how you turn is really interesting, and the spinning camera adds a disorienting feel to space combat
