Nice job!

A few bugs here and there, but other than that, it was rather nice.

With more polish, better choice in sounds and more UI, this game had a lot of potential.

My ears tickle!

The controls are good except for something on the mouse+WSAD stuff. They seem to conflict with each other.
I would put some work on the background as well (random colored bg would do the trick). Keep it up

A neat little game.

Give the ship inertia and wrap the screen (like asteroids) for a more dynamic feeling control scheme.

I liked the surprise end of game boss! :D

The graphics and the audio are simple, but that's very hard to dodge bullets without lateral movement.

Good job!
Nice particle effects.
I really missed moving sideways with A and D.
Knowing ones health would be good.

@StMatn, I initially though about displaying health, and moving sideways, but I thought it would make it too easy. But I'll add it if I make a post-LD version, for sure.

Simple, yet relatively addicting and fun :) Good job!

Wont run on my Windows 3.11 D: Says Windows (all) so i must complain!!

No but seriously. It's fun but it didn't keep me in it for long, Need a score tally as a minimum if nothing else otherwise if i walk away for 5 minutes i might aswell have just begun there's nothing to show how many awesome kills i've made and how far through i've got. If i hadn't read the comments i wouldn't have known to keep going for something.

I like it. It would be cool if the camera moved along with the craft - showing the ship at the center of the screen at all times. Would be cool for aiming, I think.
