Neat little shooter. The way the mouse is used for controls is interesting. Good music too!

Hey. The frame rate was really low on Chrome, making this pretty much unplayable for me.
Loved it! Once I figured out you can hold each button the controls became much nicer to use.
@squarebridges: Sorry you couldn't play it, I know the web port wasn't great. Try the .exe if you can!
Great entry! I wish it had picked up a bit faster, and that it was easier to maintain weapon charge. Perhaps some sort of mechanic that allows you to exchange being stationary, or shields? Either way, I enjoyed playing it.
Good shooter game :) with cool music i like it
Nice little space shooter! Good work. :)
Good game. I got to 200. Might have downed the carrier if I hadn't run out of charge. Got a bit annoying that I couldn't move and shoot in different directions, but I'm guessing if you'd meant to make a twin-stick shooter, you would have :).
This game is awesome. My best is 157, and then I died. The graphics are nice, and I don't really get the donuts. ;)
This is a nice little shooter. I liked it!
Good game,i liked a lot :D
TECHNICALLY you used two buttons, but mouse movement for aim? That's like infinite buttons on two axis! loll but joking around aside, is a decent game for what it is.
Cool stuff. That cgMusic thing looks interesting, and it worked pretty well here.
Fun game - enjoyed being a space cop. The controls felt good - but those space pirated are too damn fast!
A simple but well implemented shooter, it runs very smoothly on my machine. It is kind of hard to dodge the bullets though since the shooting direction and the moving direction is the same. So always ended up moving towards the enemies, I guess that was by design to make the game challenging :P Anyways well done!
nice intro music! i appreciate that you made a font, also the star field looks like it doesnt repeat, i got a high score of 592 so i was just under the 600 goal D: nice work
Funny shooter. Nice graphic and music.
Neat! Really fun little game. Definitely will look in to cgMusic - that was solid stuff. Awesome work on your first entry!
I got a score of 186. good job, liked the faster firing rate later in the game, good change-up to the gameplay.
I ran out of charges pretty fast which slowed the game way down for me. Other then that it's a well implemented shooter. The music and sounds were nice. Well done.
The controls feel a little odd just because I'm used to games like Geometry Wars where you use one button to move and regardless of what direction you're moving you can shoot in 360 degrees. I recommend adding some different types of enemies that challenge your controls. For example, you could have enemies that fly away from you and you have to chase them. For the current enemies, the only strategy I have is to run away, pause, and then have a Mexican standoff with them.
Other than that, great game!
mmmm... space donuts... fun little game, a little frustrating you can only shoot in the direction you are moving, limits tactics a lot. high score was only 202, I am a terrible space cop!
Cool game, enjoyed it.
Controls made it very difficult to dodge fire, as I could never shoot enemies while moving unless they happened to be heading at me from where I was going. As a result, I just stood still whenever an enemy was around so I could easily take them down.
The charge system was interesting, but was also the largest source of difficulty, as I didn't seem to lose shield too fast very often unless I didn't have the charge to defend myself.
Overall, this was a nice game for a first jam and I enjoyed it. Great job!
It starts off really easy and really slow, and quickly devolves into overwhelming right about the time the player receives the fire rate increase, which greatly punishes missed shots against enemies that are really good at dodging.
Good execution though, mechanics were solid if difficult.
