I will be honesty, I did not like the controls. Maybe it's something you get used to but for me I was fighting the controls more than the alien-monsters.
I did like the aesthetics you were going for though and the idea of endless shooter is always nice. Good work even if I had my gripes with the controls. ^^
I mean I gotta respect the choice, that's a legendary game lol I don't think it's 100% bad idea though, it's a risky one for sure, but also one you can make work but it's hard. Ultimately the conflict with the controls for me was that it was was that the alien monsters didn't slow down when hit or anything so dodging their attacks meant you also had to turn around at points to get good momentum to get away. So I'd say you could still get the controls to work but the rest of the game should reflect on the controls then too ^^
