Neat! Simple and works well. I liked the unique control scheme, my favourite part of the game. Some more sound and visual effects would assist in making the game feel better. I also really liked the particle explosion when you died, some more things like that would be awesome. Good work!

Nice entry, the explosion animation for touching a nuclear bomb was really good. It took me a minute to understand the controls, I think using WASD or the arrow keys for 4-way directional movement would have been more comfortable but I was still able to get fairly far. Nice job.

Good game but I'd like if the controls were easier to FIND. Quite enjoyed it. :D

very interesting control method, but I found it really difficult to use. Really reminded me of Thrust and Asteroids, but mixed with a twin stick shooter. I think I'd have preferred a WASD control method with mouse aiming, or full Asteroids/Thrust with no mouse involved, the combination of the two overloaded my brain :)

It's a nice idea, but also shows why twin stick shooters use twin sticks - so you can strafe! Holding the button to fire instead of clicking lots would also be a good improvement.

The controls seem like really hard to master. Got only to wave 3 or 4. Even having reverse thrust would already help enourmously. Or enemies with less health, because practically you can't shoot and move at the same time. But basically it's our decision, if you want the game to stay kind of hardcore, then it might already be alright.

Simple concept well executed, difficulty is really high though. I couldn't get past wave 5 ^^ Good job!
