Pretty competent execution of a shmup! I'm not super sure what the purpose of the overcharge mechanic is, personally feels like it's a punishment for playing the game and killing enemies? Just could not wrap my head around it.

Hi.
Initially, electricity was buffing the player (it still does with speed). Then, it became a way to prevent the player from killing every spaceship, before they even shoot and to force him to dodge too (I had to limit it). Also a way to implement the theme (because I changed my plans, and noticed it didn't fit it enough at all). But yes, I can understand it can be annoying some of the players.
Thanks for playing !
