Cute concept and the controls feel nice and are fun, but I had a hard time controlling my ship and shooting the enemies consistently. Maybe if the enemies took fewer hits and there were more enemies it would feel a bit more fast-paced? Overall cute concept and fun to play!
You should just make it to where you're always firing, there's no reason not to fire. I like the dodging mechanics though.
I considered that, but then i would have a button for going UP, and then what would be the point of the gravity?

It would seem that flappy hell is just as evil as i imagined it would be! D:
Nice work!
Holy crap this game is hard, couldn't get past the first boss! The controls are interesting, though it mostly boils down to just holding down fire and moving up so the second button is kinda useless.

Flappy Bird with a cannon, the control feels good.
Nice one, i like shmup and this one was quite new for me, so i'm happy :)

The movement of the ship is really nice! I found it a little hard, but nice and simple.

That was a really nice game. It feels very complete, and has quite a lot of content for such a short timespan. I am also really glad that you included the option for infinite lives since I was much worse at it than I thought i would be :P
The implementation of the theme was perfect, and overall the game felt just the right length for a LD game.

A nice mash up of genres. This game is fun and wacky.
Great game! Flappy shmup makes sense. Like others said, it should be on autofire since there's never a need to not be firing. It's a lot easier to control when you don't need to worry about another button. Game was fun though, would benefit a lot from a good soundtrack but that obviously can't be expected of all compo games.
Neat game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/LlS8bcKfkfQ
This is a really well made game. There's a lot of stuff for only 48 hours, lots of different enemy types and I loved the death animation for the enemy ships. Small things but the music didn't seem to loop and the back of the player ship had no collision which may have been on purpose but kinda confusing. Overall a really impressive game.
