One suggestion:  Try removing (or greatly lowering) the momentum from the ship controls.

I went down one direction in my programming and had the train of thought but looking back I wish I would have made the images programmatically and had you progress that way...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@KevinWorkman -  I knew going into this it might have been a bit much for me to tackle... my goal was a minimal viable product.  While I feel I got there, there is so much more to explore to this game.  I think a few things would be good... shield on the ship, a continue screen so you can do more &quot;damage&quot;, and figuring out better how to view the damage you did.  I originally had a thought of having a minimap of where you were in the image as well. But just too much for me given the time constrains."},{"author_name":"IonProgramming","author_uid":"14004","time":"Aug 27, 2015 @ 5:17am","epoch":1440652320,"text":"Movement was a bit fast for my liking, but nice idea."},{"author_name":"wesley werner","author_uid":"26303","time":"Aug 27, 2015 @ 5:19am","epoch":1440652440,"text":"Awesome innovation!

A 'classic' side-scrolling shoot'em up (shmup) where you destroy the pixel bits of your own image or the default one. Runs best in Google Chrome (Firefox - bit choppy).\r\n\r\nNOTE: Don't load images larger than 256x256... will result in some fun stuff... like screens not showing properly... or if its a large image tons of 'loading' time in the beginning. \r\n\r\nAlso NOTE:  Your images do NOT get uploaded anywhere they are only loaded into the browser for processing on the client side. \r\n\r\nControls:\r\n\r\nMovement - aswd and\/or arrows\r\nShoot - Spacebar\r\n\r\nThe game will take your image process its pixels and out put a unique game for your entertainment.  It will take a count of how many pixels you have destroyed and of what color.  In the end it will show you how destroying those pixels affected your image. \r\n\r\nThis was my first game ever created and also my first ludum dare. :D  \r\n\r\nEdit: To address the theme I will explain a bit of my thought process here,  I didn't want to go for the straight and obvious choice.
