This has the potential to become something really engaging and great.
It reminds me a lot of tron and some of those old space sim arcade games.
I tried playing without having right mouse button clicked and whilst disorienting, shooting and having myself get recoiled back that way was interesting, maybe its something that can become part of gameplay?
Turning this into some kind of wave defense game where you get waves of enemies appearing and attacking targets that you need to defend could be great fun! Then have those targets empower certain aspects of the player like fire rate, laser range, laser damage, flying speed, etc. On the next wave if the targets survive might be a cool balance of opportunity and risk?
Thanks for making it!
