Cosmic Frontiers by Anshul K
You are stranded in space, with limited space on your little ship. Defend your ship and your kind on it from alien invaders that attack your ship, sort of like a bullet hell game.

Instructions
- Move Character:- A and D/LeftArrow and RightArrow
- Fire:- Space/LMB and hold to keep firing
- Slow down while moving:- LeftShift
Gameplay
Shoot the incoming aliens using your trusty blaster, also while getting powerups which are as so:
for the ship,
for the player to take.
Make to the 5'th Wave and try to get the highest score possible!
Note: The effects and other particles have been designed by me but the player character and ships are not (They are from the unity asset store).

could have been more better with bg music and powerups.
The mechanics looked simple at first, but I had some good times when playing it. It feels good when got firepower upgrade and sweep the enemies double fast, and intercept enemy projectile is an interesting part too.
I would suggest changing shooting from clicking to holding.
@lincolnsalles I originally thought of the idea as our character being stuck on this ship in space. As in that the character is stuck on this limited space on the ship (he seems to be not stuck since you can just move rightwards, I did fix that in the post-jam version). I'll sure try to improve my game.
Trying to find the spot right under an enemy ship is a bit finicky, but on a retry it feels good to be ahead of the spawnwave when I started getting it right.
I didn't really understand how the weapon upgrades worked, they just randomly happened? I would like to see some feedback about it on screen.
