This was really fun! I like that the bullets move bits instead of instantly killing enemies/the player - I think it makes gameplay a lot more interesting and creates more opportunities to strategize each decision. The scoring system is also a nice touch to fit the theme. The ~ powerup was also a really fun addition. I would suggest having the music loop as currently it just stops once the song finishes, which makes the game end up very quiet for a lot of the gameplay.

dam the scores go crazy, love the clever gameplay! its such a unique concept! having the enemy bullets move your 1 not only makes it cool, but also gives it a unique play, you wanna mix between dodging and seeing which bullet is shot to move your 1, its so cool! only thing is make unique music if you ware making this a full game (which I say you should, its super unique!!!) and loop it, currently it ends after a bit, which leaves just the 8-bit sounds-
overall great work! super unique and fun! love your scoring system based on bits too, just a fun way to feel happy with big number :D
