Awesome graphics and sounds, but the gameplay itself got a little tiring after a while. The idea was cool and I liked the 3D objects in 2D space but I do wish the game had had some kind of a conclusion (maybe a timer, for example, as in how long you manage to stay will be your high score?). The setting was really original and cool, but I'm not sure how much it's related to the theme this time. Overall though, good job!

Controls were a bit confusing to me. But the sound effects were humorous :)
The sounds are very good but I did not like many controls of the game I feel that it made me a little difficult

Oh man, the sounds are so good! Cool music too. I like the how the sound effects have some 3d spatialization so you can tell where the enemies are. Controls were a bit weird but I was able to get used to them. Gameplay was fun but got a little stale after some time, would be cool to have some sort of powerups to increase planet power or different enemies as time goes on. Great job overall!

The first thing I want to say is: this game feels very polished. In particular, the sound is done really well: the music is catchy and fits well with the game, and the sound effects were very funny and also added a lot.
I also liked the control scheme. Even though it's kind of difficult to get used to, it feels original and made for a fun challenge.
I ended up playing for about 2 minutes and stopping after that because it seems like there wasn't any more gameplay. I guess you didn't have time to add more, but I think it would have felt a lot more satisfying if it showed your score somewhere, and/or if there was some way to win the game, so there would be some closure. Also, 250 power seems really generous, as I barely lost any while playing. You could probably lower it to 20 or something and it could be more exciting that way.
Overall, even though there isn't that much gameplay, I really appreciate all the polish that went into what you do have, so great job! With some more mechanics, I could see this being a really fun arcade game.
I loved the humor in this game. The controls were not my favorite. They were extremely difficult to get used to. Decent entry, though. The music was very well done. I agree with some of the comments from before, though, that perhaps some power ups, a way to win, or a timer with a high score list to see who lasts longest would have added something to the game.
