3/5. It's a good start but a long journey ahead. I like how you introduce new enemies, by sending one and sending more later. I think the levels are too long, but that's just me. Maybe you could add some arrow keys to move the ship, because I can't aim while moving and end up crashing into a ship. You should just like make the WHOLE game faster. I think the score should be based on the enemies you kill, for instance the grey ones are 10 points? And keep going to orange and so on. Not bad but keep up the good work and it'l be even better.

Speed upgrades are listed 250, but cost 100. Shop should state you are buying "300 ammo (will replace current ammo even if same type)".
Spread cannon best primary for mob clear, Laser cannon best boss kill... others are not as good.
Wide Blaster best secondary, Octo and Random are unreliable, Controlled means that since aiming and ship move are the same (mouse) it will cause unintended collisions/death.
Guided missile is great in all situations, other two are boss kill.
Recommend change from Primary Weapon to Primary Ammo to avoid confusion, and likewise the others.
Otherwise this is a MUCH better entry level game than what I'm used to seeing. Also the Boss on level 5 one shots ships, need to fix that, and the score reset on me twice. I got 1209 but should have had 2000-2500. Issue with being idle in the shop (time I spent typing this)

Well, it's a good start to something. I really like the idea of the ammo/upgrade system, and the graphics are nice, it just needs... more. More weapons, more enemies, more instructions (I have no clue how to move up levels, or refill ammo, or tell what that score even is). Health and especially speed seem way too expensive (although that might be just me.) and there's not really a reason to just go for the best main (laser) right away. But I had fun, honestly. Just needs more polish. 3/5

i was told by the creator themselves to play this game. I'm not sure i should've agreed to it.
Look, i get it, there's supposed to be a sense of upgrade and stuff, but how do you expect me to dodge enemies and bullets when my ship is lagging behind? not to mention over half of the upgrades are worthless. I didn't even feel an slight speed-up when i got the speed x2 option. trust me, i'm not gonna try and get on the leaderboard when the only one there is is a DAILY one. how am i supposed to feel accomplished when i get the high score, but when i log on tomorrow, none of my scores were changed? Look, this game has potential (tons, in fact), but i don't think you should be advertising a 0.3 version prototype. And nobody's ever on, so how am i supposed to 1v1 people and rek them :(
My general idea of this game: It's not bad, but it's unpolished. Even just a little bit more speed to the ship would make it so much easier to avoid bullets.
Thank you for your feedback. Will work on suggestions
