This is a well executed bullet hell with a good head for progression. The aesthetic is a little unpolished, but entertaining and whimsical :) One critical comment- I'd recommend just having fire always on, or maybe toggleable, or have it cost something to shoot- having to hold down the attack button the whole time was a little awkward.

The visuals and sound effects work well together, and the controls feel super comfortable. My one complaint is that it's just really hard! (can't say I'm the fastest gamer out there) I finally made it past the first wave that had the virus rockets and was immediately overwhelmed by the next wave. It would be cool if there was a teeny bit more wiggle room, with either some hull damage before death instead of always getting 1shot, or maybe by having the continue start you after the last completed wave instead of at the beginning each time.
