I like the idea that they're both keeping each other alive, and energized. The music was awesome, the only thing I would change is the amount of energy you gain from the power supply or increase the cost of shooting since I had to not move for a minute to be able to die and click really fast to run out of energy to shoot. In the end, great game.

Nice game! It was a little loud, but that's not a problem. The player feels really good to control. Great entry.

Enjoyable. I did find that the W.I.S.P would snap back to my position if it left the screen bounds; not sure if a feature or a bug. Overall, nice work.

Great game! Nice music and art choice. The game feels good to play and move around / shoot. It is a bit too easy however. I was playing very poorly yet my life was going down VERY slowly and plus the infinite healing I could play for a long time without playing well. Some extra objectives and goals would also be really nice. Really good work. Keep it up!

Fun to play, it's a bit weird to find yourself in the game directly without any kind of menu or intro, but gameplay is more important than that. Nice job!

The music was awesome! Also I like the energy mechanic it adds another layer to the game! ^^

Fun and intuitive gameplay. And the graphics are simplistic but also looking good. A bit more enemy variety would go a long way, i think.

The concept of keeping it alive and at the same time depend on him for energy is great ! The background is really trippy and nice, very arcade inspired audio, well done ! I had fun to play some times but at the end i felt the lack of a clear goal or a score to increase. But anyway nice job it's awesome !

I liked it, the gameplay was fun, the background looked great with nice simplistic art for the ships, and the music was amazing! Not very innovative, but a nice little game.

The gameplay is really solid! Well done. I also like how you incorporated the theme into the game mechanics. My only critique point is that it ramps up pretty slow, I would prefer a steeper difficulty curve,

See me trying but ultimately failing to keep my W.I.S.P. alive https://youtu.be/F9mEveyjmnw

As @solweak said. This game has good potential.

This game is a good start. I liked the music and general game play, but I felt like it was a bit too slow. It would have also been nice to have some sort of goal and faster difficulty scaling. Overall, good job!

Great music! As others have said, a bit more difficulty ramp-up would be helpful. Eventually I started getting tougher baddies, but it could have happened much easier.
