Pretty nice idea!

Really polished, looks, feels and plays fantastically. I keep coming back to this one to play again. Really difficult as it goes on. I love the ricochet potatoes.

I loved it, the power-ups at the beginning are a nice touch. A bit difficult though :p.

Liked the style of the graphics and sound, though the options were maybe a little unnecessary and extraneous given the minimal premise. A hold and shoot would be good too, rapid fire clicking LMB got tiring after a while.

This has a unique sort of feel for a dual-stick shooter. Love the explosion visual effects and the bigass score display. Nice idea allowing different ship features at the cost of multiplier - no idea if it's actually balanced (I seemed to do best with just shields+speed) but theoretically it could be a good way to allow players to adapt the game to their play style and compete on the same leaderboard.

I liked upgrade system. I wish there was music, it would be way more dynamic.

Fun game with a really great feel. I had to keep playing until I topped the high scores :)

I like the upgrade/score tradeoff idea.

Awesome game. Tying upgrades to a score multiplier was a great idea, although it could likely do with some balance tweaks. The visuals were simple but effective. The view distance could maybe be brought back a bit, and I imagine there's not much replay value after you try out the different upgrade combinations. But the core is solid, great job!

Nice game. I like the idea of choosing between upgrades and score. This would probably benefit from a more complex upgrade system. I preferred more bullets and shields.

Very retro, and very solid. The ship-improvements at the expense of score multipliers is a cool addition too. Nice work!

Solid shooter mechanics, I like the risk/reward thing with the loadout affecting the multiplier
