Looking great! Needs a bit of info on the controls though I can't shoot :')

Oh it's Ctrl to shoot. A bit of an unconventional key to shoot. Consider using the spacebar and 'Z' or 'X' to shoot as well.

Some more feedback I can give is to add a sound to the power charge with a rising pitch to give some audio feedback to the player.
Make sure the player does not spawn on top of a solid object after dying. That happened to me and my ship got imideately destroyed again.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback and support :D

You're right, the game needs some info about controls. Maybe a panel showing the controls mapping would help.

I'm avoiding checkpoints that make the player to return to a previous point. Right now, when the player is destroyed it is immediately spawned on the left side of the screen and the shield is turned on. This way the ship doesn't collide with anything for a few seconds and the user can avoid the ship to get stuck while the shield is on. Probably it's not the best and obvious way to respawn the ship... I'll look into it, thanks for pointing that out.
