Really liked the concept, nice job!

I'm actually really impressed with this one! You do a surprising amount graphically, considering you only have 144 pixels to work with. The health bar and text scrolling are particularly well-designed. For a game like this, and especially at this resolution, I think you could have used a little more contrast against the background --- it was sometimes a bit difficult to tell in an instant what was background and what was me or enemy. Maybe lighter values overall for background, or light characters on a dark background?

Way to take a pretty worn-out genre and make it fresh and interesting. Good work.

so amazing how you got this game to be fun in such a small space - thanks for making it

I love the direction you took the theme. Excellent use of colours and a simple but effective game play. I couldn't work out how to use the turret correctly though.

You made the low resolution work very well! I like that you have powerups and bosses.

You did a really nice job with your constraints.
