A valiant attempt. Just make note that the boss is impossible hard to defeat when he has you inside his firing beam.

It actually is possible to be a little to the right or left and still hit him, but yeah I don't except most people to put that much effort into it. There is a little "gimmick", where enemies will spawn more in the direction you're moving the most, but I don't imagine anyone will see it without it being explained more somehow.

Once I realised that you can just mash the fire key, it became a lot more fun! Boss is doable, as long as you save your 'boom' power thingy.

that was a little tough for me but a nice entry nonetheless.

Needs auto fire! Also, the sound gets spammed with some of the enemies, I'm not sure if that was intentional. Nice variety of enemies though.

Nice job, very playable. Don't completely understand the bomb key, seems to be a skip to boss key. Otherwise very solid
