Very impressive for a solo project! My favorite thing was the different playable ships with their unique characteristics, maybe they could have been rotated each 10 seconds or something to implement the 10 second theme. Anyway, very solid submission, good job!

Thanks ^^ well i went all out as much i could, but like the description on the page states the music tracks and some ships were done a bit prior to the jam which helps explain the quantity :p since this seemed allowed by the rules i made the most of it.
I'm a big fan of spaceship "sim" games so i wanted to somehow mix and incorporates some elements of these types of games into the classic shmup approach i went for, thus the different types of ships with different hp/shields and speeds etc... and i'm glad people seem to like that aspect so far, to be honest i didn't have any idea how to incorporate the 10 sec theme other than a bit of experimenting with a 10 sec shield recharge but that ended up not being that fun when testing so i scrapped it and decided to go without the theme, but the 10 sec rotation of ships sounds cool and i wish i would have thought of that during the jam :p
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and giving my game a spin :)
