This game was fun! I actually submitted something kinda similar but different. I liked the art and the upgrade system. A potential fun upgrade could be something like being able to get a small boost and increase the speed of the ships rotation.

Good job!

I like how it increases the speed of the rotation and the enemies, although it gets a little too hard by the time I had the third ship added. Overall great game.

I would like it if we could either see a key changer, or the alt key being changed. I use Firefox, so it becomes an issue whenever I press alt. Still is a fun game, but I cannot really get too much further with this issue.

WOOOOOOOOOOO, EAT MY LASERS!!!!!!!!!!! At first I was thinking, "huh, this is a little slow and not as rewarding as it could be." But then I was quickly blasting away with four ships that the chaos was excellent.

I couldn't accumulate more than four ships.
But it was fun :)
Nice upgrade system.

It would be nice to add some music here. Maybe even make music more dynamic with upgrades?

was rotating like crazy! WWhen you have 3 ships it gets very difficult!

That was fun! It got harder and harder! Played through two times - it would be nice if it weren't bound to Alt as alt+space invokes your browser's selection window selection in windows and I kept having to furiously click back into the window!

This is a really fun game. I like that as you gain additional ships, you get more powerful, but the game gets harder as you have to keep track of more things. I could see a really high skill ceiling there. One thing that definitely needs attention, the alt key in chrome highlights the drop down menu so the next spacebar press makes it come down. This means that any time I use the pulse, my next shot will bring out the chrome menu and un-highlight the game, seriously effecting the playability. Nice job, though, this is a really well-designed game with lots of potential.

Its a fairly simple game, but it matches the theme pretty well! Didn't expect there to be more ships initially, but it gets pretty tough when you gain 3 of them hence you have to keep track of all of them. Well done.
