Simple and basic consept, I really like your idea. If Im right, thats a mobile game.

I have some suggestion: Make evrything a bit larger, firtly i think that the enemy ships are bullets, and I miss some feedback about I hit sth with the bullets (like particle effects)

But all in all, I like your game, nice job! :D

Pretty fun little shmup! The fire rate felt a little slow and it probably could have benefited from some music and sound effects, but overall it was pretty good. My highscore was 224.

Agreed on both counts. I wanted to add power-ups to address some expansion of player capabilities... but you know, scope cutting for time management.

Interesting, I've always found that SHMUPs are auto-fire. Perhaps I'll explore that mechanic in the future.

Yeah, I did want to add some simple SFX, but at 5am today, after fighting with the Unity build for ~2 hours and having been up for  ~16 working on it, I was simply too exhausted. 🤣😭And yes, the aspect ratio was chosen so I could port this to mobile devices. 😊

For those that don't open the game page: This is a high score chaser, and arrow keys are your movement controls. Also, my high score is 242!
