That start surprised me, straight in with no frills! Since the itch game page is gone when I click play, it would be good to show the controls again somewhere, but it was intuitive enough.
I had fun playing! These are my notes:
I didn't notice the shake effects.
The sounds on destroying an enemy seemed unusually loud.
Enemy projectiles despawn when they are destroyed.
Based on the setup, I was expecting to be able to exit the screen and pop out on the other side like asteroids. Also, I was expecting some inertia instead of stopping immediately.
My suggestions:
Pickups or something to change the player weapon, similar to geometry wars.
More noticeable difficulty ramp up and prominent score display.
Great work on this, combat felt satisfying!
