Decent all-around entry. After a while all of the waves started looking the same, though some of the upgrades were a lot of fun. I got to about a million and a half points before I finally died to impatience and trying to rush the shooting guards. Tight controls, easy to play, cohesive graphics, just all around well put together.

It would have been to have more though. More feedback when you get, more enemies or attacks, just more juice in general. Unless there's more after the waves of shooting guards with small discs, I feel like I saw all this game had to offer in under a minute.

Standard arena shooter with some pickups, but the standout element is that music track. That's really your composition? If so, bravo. Best tune I've heard so far this jam.

Man, the speed upgrade is not your friend...

This is nicely done. I like the scrolling score on the floor.

That was very satisfying! I'm not one for top-down shooters, but that was a lot of fun to me. My only suggestions are to maybe make the power ups a bit bigger and easier to collect (I got myself in a loop circling the power up endlessly because I couldn't turn tight enough to get it) and maybe add a click to start screen because I opened this in a tab and the game started playing before I eve scrolled the page down yet

Anyways, minor thing. Keep up the good work!

Nice! The game is simple, but it's executed very well! Good graphics and music, and good design; I especially like the waves of varying enemy types. Good job!
