This is... definitely cute! :D
I like the movement mechanic! It's neatly wonky. ^_^
However, I'll admit that I'm not getting along with the shooting: it feels like I have too little control there.
I want to shoot at specific targets, but I can only shoot when stationary, which means that most of my shots go other than where I want.
Either compounding or creating this issue (I'm not yet sure of which) is that the blue pellets seem fairly rare, and all too often are blocked by planets. (Those cute monsters! :P)
I feel like--perhaps--if I had more control over the shooting, or more blue pellets to shoot with, I might enjoy this more.
Still, I like the concept here, and I do love that goofy smile on the ship's face. ^_^
