I beat it! Huge congrats on your first game ever! This was a very unique idea and the game generally played well. I somehow managed to soft lock on level 2 when I played the first time, the second time it worked fine. Also the star background was super distracting and made the game hard to follow. And it's nice to be able to hold the shoot button to auto shoot, it was hard to keep smashing the shoot button all game. Nice work overall!
