I read your rationale behind why you did it in other comments, and I think you're right to want to add difficulty, but like others, I found the loose controls took away from my enjoyment.
The idea is an original one, and the graphics are good (pigs shooting bacon is good comedy).

Interesting game with interesting mechanics. My main issue with it though is just how loose the controls are. I get that you're in space but it's so slippery I feel like I'm not even controlling the spacecraft. So when I try and dodge the bacon I just can't. I did like the screen wrapping though.

Lil Robot GameThanks for your feedback. We had several mentions about the controls. We tried to have them a bit difficult, just because it's an alien spacecraft and we wanted to make it feel difficult to manipulate. However it's true we should improve them and make it a bit more controllable. We'll submit updates after game jam is over.
The speed of the ship could be higher but It's really fun game, I could play more levels!

TheBattleAtTheEndOfSpaceI played and rated this game. It has a good story and nice sound effects (force field).
Could you just check mine?

Kawaii Potato VS Bad Rap FatI like almost everything about this game, other than the controls. If you were going to tie your shooting mechanic to your ships orientation, you probably shouldn't make the same keys both move and rotate your ship. Other than that I liked it.

Magic Run 'n' GunVery cool game and its story. I would love for alien to be able to rotate little faster, other than that it's amazing :)
