Cool retro sidescrolling shooter !
I like the ship sprites they are really cool, and the title font made me think of the metroid title on NES :p
The music fits the atmosphere well, of being alone agains some highly advanced alien ships
Gameplay wise i like the idea of having the score serve as a lifebar of sorts
Also gotta say the bullet patterns themselves were pretty interesting.
My main gripe is the oddity with the controls, not being able to move diagonally greatly impairs the ability to dodge in some situations i.m.o :/
Other than that it’s a nice entry, i managed to reach the boss but got killed at some point XD
