Nice idea but making the controls the challenge of the game is pretty frustrating. The best run I had, was when just sitting in the center and shooting straight up. I like the hand-drawn visuals. Keep up the good work!

I know the touch controls are the point so I tried playing it on my phone, only to find that the scroll wheel doesn't respond to touch controls at all! It's frustrating to play on a laptop. The graphics and sounds are charming initially but are quickly outweighed by the annoyance.
Making a shooter inside an iPod, then asking people to steer with its wheel, is a very specific kind of nostalgia haha. The floppy disks and CDs fit the little hand-drawn screen well. An optional keyboard control scheme could keep the idea accessible to people struggling with the wheel.
If you have a moment, I'd appreciate a rating on my latest game, [Robot Workshop](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/60/trashfight).
Choosing Flash to make a game for this jam is a 5-star theme fit in itself 😀
