Would have loved some brighter explosions and autofiring weapons. The weapons don't drain energy so there's no reason not to be firing all your weapons all the time.
The UI was practical and the progression was solid and fun. Reminds me a tiny bit of a great game called enemy mind where you can swap ships with any enemy ship.
I think the theme could fit better and you could improve the controls, feel somehow "wrong"
That being said I'm always a fan of mass damage/mob games like this. It's easy to find a zen.
