It's a pretty repetitive game, and the difficulty curve is pretty steep (though, it might be because it's suuuper early here). I like the game, though. One thing I particularly like is the fact you're rotating around the body. I know a lot of games in this style have you playing as the object in the center, so aiming there is easy. This gives it a bit more of a challenge, which I really like.
As mentioned above, I took one or two hits early on as I though I couldn't shoot through the core. But overall pretty fun!
Of course one can only do as much as it is possible in 48 hours, but there should be ways to improve the ship. At some point (~150s) they are just too many and your rate of fire don't make it possible to kill all of them, so you can only powerlessly watch your defeat coming.
About the music, of course 4 notes in a loop (at least it matches the theme) is maybe "not enough"... But in my opinion, it's better than nothing. It always helps creating a more solid experience than no sound at all. And the sound effects were very nice too and matched correctly the visuals.
Nice entry !

As it is the game is super simple, but it works and the level of polish is one of the best I've seen in teh compo in my opinion :)
Also it's nice to see other Godot games ;)
