Sprites are great. Music and sounds are great.
Really sells the Xenon2 vibe.
The game play is very rigid. Having no up and down and your ship moving slow means you have very little options for you to do anything different other than the odd wiggle left and right and hold down fire.
There are no weapon upgrades (that I could notice) so getting through some of the bullet spongy enemies and the destructible hive walls: You have no options.
You need the ship moving slower so you dont smash into walls but you need more freedom of movement. I would suggest up and down - and some weapon upgrades. The starter shot is good and broad but need more as the game goes on.
The level is a bit too cramped. You need a bit more "space" but having lanes to go down is cool. I know Xenon had a way you could move back. The level could scroll slower also and have more enemies to kill flying in.
The bosses at the end are a bit easy and could do with more danger.
