I like the music, and the gloomy graphics.
It feels like the collision detection with the bullets is a little permissive, like if I can tell that the bullet didn't hit but It count's as a hit. Not that it matters though.
Title screen reminds me of zombies ate my neighbors
Runs great too!
Here's my highscore :P

Gameplay wise I found it quickly becomes unfair (as in, reaching the limits of your move speed) which ruins it for me. Mouse input might have been more to my taste, but there are still some optimization strategies around re-centering. I would have liked to see something done with the "Money" you earn, as it seems to just be a fancy score indicator currently.
But in the beginning I was confused about the controls. Also as mentioned by @FireSlash
I really wish you implemented a way to make use of money system. Like a shop or power-ups?
Music was spooky and fit well with the scenery.
Overall a very solid and good game.
**+**Graphics and Sound are well done, the fog of war looks neat!
**-**When losing, the "game over" screen is reloaded (along with the "game over, man!"-sound) for each remaining planetary vampire that hits you. (Web version in firefox)
**-**Also, I found my projectiles to become too small too fast so I couldn't really estimate my distance shots well.
Great job!
The first thing I saw was the recoil of weapons. Many people forget about it, but it greatly improves the picture.
8-bit graphics and music are create an atmosphere.
I tried to reach the boss, but after 15000 points begins hell)))
Unequivocally it's very good game. I like it
NICE GRAPHICS, NICE AUDIO AND A LOT OF FUN!!!
My only complaint is that on one of my runs, the screen was absolutely filled with enemies. There's probably a spawn rate bug in there somewhere.
EDIT: Finally started hitting skulls! My score is up to 9650.
