I'm having difficulty seeing incoming shots. This might be because I'm red/green colorblind, or maybe because I believe GM has a 30 fps cap which makes fast shmups problematic.

Anyway, nice graphics and well put together!

Thanks for the feedback, nintendoeats! The framerate probably had some effect, but the heavy use of red and green was probably mostly the problem. Sorry about that, it was pretty dumb of me to not notice that that might give some people trouble, next time I'll take that into account.

Ahh I like how different planets come together when you die to offer their services. It is pretty fitting with the theme, though I think some tweaking of the unique abilities of each ship would be a good idea. They seemed to be unbalanced. Overall, nice entry though :)

Congrats on finishing your game. There's definitely room to make it more awesome. I like how you give the player a different ship after every death

Not bad, but better graphics and some audio (or maybe there was audio, but Wine couldn't play it, I don't know) would improve this game a lot. Nevertheless, it was fun to play in its current form.
