Hi kreddor :)
Can you describe what are you spec ? the OS and stuff ?
Thanks :)

Lovely music. Is it an original composition or something else?

The gameplay is solid but a little simple. I think one of the biggest improvements would be acceleration and deceleration of the ship, or some kind of mechanic related to the bullets.

Also, the P button to shoot was difficult because it's too close to the Arrow Keys and thus gets my hands cramped up.

Nice job, keep it up!

Hello Arcana, The main music come from http://www.nosoapradio.us/

nice start but the game felt much too easy. there wasn't really any point in moving around and one-shot kills when the enemies are so slow felt overpowered. so as I said, good start, but you could probably make it a much more interesting game !

Using premade music isn't allowed, but the game is decent in its own right. I would have liked something more though, so I didn't just sit in the middle spinning and shooting.

Also, what kind of keyboard layout has 'P' in a comfortable place??

I got about 35,000 points. :)

Maybe you could speed the ship up a little, and add some pentagons (or something) that shoot back?

It's a good start. As others have stated, it could be made more difficult - having the circles require more than one shot would help. The difficulty could also scale up a bit faster.

Thanks everyone for the feedback :) Very appreciated

Jonny D : i've use P cause it's in the same spot for QWERTY & AZERTY layout. ( At first it was on Enter but there was a hardware problem that sometimes didn't allow me to shoot )

Nice game! And the only one thing I would change is to have more bullets on higher levels :)

Arrows + p? Not exactly comfortable controls. Good game though.
