I had issues getting the game to work. The title screen is fine but when I click play it just goes to the black screen most of the time. I did manage to get into the actual game a couple times though.

From what I saw, the game is pretty cool. I like the lighting effects for the bullets and explosions. Shooting at enemies is fun, and the shield is a neat defensive mechanic. There could be a little more variety in the audio (different enemy shoots sound, enemy explosion sounds, etc.) but audio at all is pretty good for a jam.

The game turned out good, though I feel like the camera is too close to the player. I would like to be a be able to see the enemy ships before they attack so I could try to avoid them. Right now I fly around and usually get hit by things I cannot see (loosing some health) before I can react. That coupled with how little health is out there makes it feel like the game is just a “losing game” where you can’t really “play forever” because you will always get hit, and always lose life.

I really liked how you implemented the shield mechanic. Especially how when you enable it, firing will hit your own shields and start dwindling them down.
