Mothership by Wet_Band-Aid
Your home world has been destroyed by the gods and as the last surviving member an alien species you must use the ships's shields to protect your ship and the eggs of your kin. Find a planet that your species can thrive on.
The game is a Rogue-Like but is beatable and even has a "Final Boss." There are a few sounds but not many.
Controls: WASD: change shield color Q: Jump to hyperspace(when hyperdrive is charged) SPACE: Disables shield to charge hyperdrive faster ALT+ENTER to toggle fullscreen

EDIT: Only just read in the description that there was actually a final goal. Maybe spell that out more clearly in the game itself?
Keeping into the color changing was a little finicky at first, but once I got used to it I seemed to improve quite well, which felt god.
Gameplay was unique, and surprisingly fun once you got the hang of it. Good job!

This is about as far as I got-

I found that my skill level wasn't a match- and actually if I mashed the ASD I was just as successful. I don't know if that was random or a bug- it seemed like the colors weren't matching so I thought I would mention. Also, I was expecting the bullets to die when they hit the edge shield, but they seemed to cease on the center of the ship. All-in-all, amazing work. Congrats and thanks for the game!

Thanks to both of you for the feedback!
Apart from the difficulty spiking up crazily towards the end, I thought it was quite a cool idea. Perhaps it would have helped if the difficulty spiked up and down in waves, so that you didn't feel truly overwhelmed for too long and had a breather in between.
Nice intro and nice game!
