Controls are good, but I didn't end up using the shield reflect because it takes so much energy. Couldn't beat stage 3, I was focused on the core and so when I had it almost destroyed, I was still dodging the bottom gun and missing some of my shots.

It had a good flow to it.

looks really cool but sadly not playable because on german keyboards z and y is swapped in place.

wow amazing stuff. i couldnt get too far though, its pretty unforgiving.
I love shmups and boss rushes. I love the reflect mechanic and the 10 second limit gives you a real urgency!

It's not the style of game I usually play, but it was definitely interesting and fun. Liked the simple controls, picked it right now. Lots of games are hard to even figure out, but this one - there was no question, it was go time from the start.
The movement is really smooth and the game is overall fun. Is there any way to skip stage 0?
That was fun, I like it.

You reached: Stage 0. Great I died in the tutorial without a shot fired at me or me moving. just slap the z and c keys if you want to join my special hall of fame.
I enjoyed that even if I was rubbish. That time limit leaves my usual shmup play style of "let me survive, forget highscores" in the dust.
Very enjoyable. Played the game for a while and chatted with the author on IRC. Simple, fun, turns all the right audio/visual feedback nobs that arcade games use to make you feel happy. Well done.
Very fun, and interesting idea! Haven't beaten the game yet, but that's probably because I never used the shields xD
Also, enemy bullets can go through the enemy ship. Was this intentional from a gameplay perspective, or is it an oversight? :P
You got me hooked. I will not write an in-depth review for this game. I just won't. Your game is hard, but addictive. I will master that bullet deflect thingy.
Nice job on this one. Rating pending.

Interesting aproach!
Don't be mad with browsers they aren't made for games (yet)

Good shooter game :)
Good job! Kinda addicting, although it took me a while to figure it out.
I like it, it was fun to play! Great job!

I enjoyed this, my only real nitpick is that the shield deflect circle is deceptive for how big of an area it reflects. I stopped relying on it for head on stuff and just juked and shot mostly.

game has a nice flow, I like how you managed to get the arcade game effect.
good work!
A good game, but surprisingly frustrating that you can't move backwards diagonally. You can move forwards diagonally, but not back, and that kept tripping me up.
Very hard, like the description said, but also fun. I like how each level adds an additional piece, so you have to keep changing your strategy.

Liked this one a lot. Unfortunately 10 seconds was not enough time for stage three for I could not beat it.
