A more niticable difficulty progression would've been nice, as after a wile game starts to feel same-y.
Had to reduce the graphics rating because of the background not tiling properly. Maybe this is a problem on specific screen resolution, but still reduces the game enjoyment.
The music is good, and sound effects are serviceable. Wish I had sound skill like that...
Oh - and bonus point for humour, for making the "Point" token look like a reference to a certain website. Or maybe that's just dirty me...
This is a nice first game to have. It's playable but has enough room for improvement that it won't dwarf your future submissions, gives you a nice easy starting goal to beat for the next jam too.
What's your highscore? This is mine:

My main improvement suggestion: make the powerups/powerdowns disappear when you hit them, preferably with a special effect. Flying enemies would also be a nice addition.
Well done!
