Pretty nice shooter. Just a couple of suggestions: It could really use mouse support to control the ship, and PLEASE do something about the speed. Even if you increase the speed of everything, not just your ship by a factor or include many more speed boosts to pick up.
Thanks to everyone for commenting! I initially rejected mouse control because I thought it would be too slow to react with, but upon giving it a try its not so bad after all. So now its available as an option. I'm not convinced it controls as well as keys, but it is kinda convenient. I also increased movement speed by 25%, but you no longer move faster diagonally than up or down. The gameplay seems less sluggish now.

Auto-fire? It should keep firing as long as the fire button is held down. Do you mean I should remove the fire button and have it fire all the time?

Fun old school game. I would also appreciate it if things moved faster, but the best addition would be autofire.
