Finished just in the nick of time. In this game, you have to shoot down enemies to inherit their abilities. Use the arrow keys or WASD to manoeuvre your ship, and SPACE to fire your weapon.

I like the way you can form hatred towards a pixelly triangle :)
The game is not difficulty. Not at all. You just have to time your movement correctly to make enemies move into your bullets. At first I found the game boring, but when different enemies begun to appear and I had to rethink the strategy to kill them, it became a little more fun.
Then I became overpowered and I was just blazing on screen shooting like crazy and the enemies could barely stay on screen before dying.
And then a random Game Over came from nowhere, even though I am sure my energy was completely full the instant before.
also good use of parallay scrolling and thumbs up for cool music
You could also work on the controls; it would bring more fun to the game if the ship felt less "heavy" and more responsive.
Nice mechanics
