Fun little game :)
It might be fun to add the players highscore and last score (or lvl) on the menu screend, so it adds a bit of replay value (getting a better score).
Great idea! Thanks!

Very snappy controls and quite challenging enemy with those fast bullets.
Mabey you could add invincibility after getting killed. I have lost my last two lives right after another when a big battleship came and I had no chance to kill them fast enough after I died
Thank you for the feedback! There actually is invincibility after getting killed, although it only lasts a few seconds. I think the real issue though is that if you don't manage to reclaim your weapon upgrades when they explode out of your ship it is really hard to kill the enemies after that, especially on higher levels. In the sequel to this game, that's one of the main things I'll be looking at and it's good to hear it from the community too, so thanks for the input :) In the mean time, here are a few tips for when you get killed and respawn in the current version: 1) When your ship explodes, most of your upgrades are recoverable. Be sure to prioritize getting the weapon upgrades back first - they're the most important ones. 2) After level 20, it is possible to get the blue laser weapon. Definitely grab it if you see it because it's twice as powerful as the default green laser and best of all you automatically get to keep it when you respawn. Happy hunting!
