What a sad ending for the little ship, never to return :(\n\nLooks, sounds, and plays really nice. Decent variation in enemies, and a bunch of cool upgrades. You got a lot done in a short time.\n\nMultiple music tracks too, which was really cool. I thought the first one was a little grating but the rest of them were really good. The sound effect sound nice too and everything feels cohesive.\n\nSame goes for the graphics. Pretty art! It was easy to tell my own bullets from the enemies and their projectiles, which could've easily not been the case with so much going on on the screen.\n\nGameplay is fun, but maybe a bit easy. I think maybe just adding more enemy bullets would've helped a lot. I also had hundreds of gold at the end but I could only spend a little in each shop.\n\nOverall impressive, really well done.
