Well the game sure is challenging, maybe too difficult because you often die from 1-2 hits. If you manage to kill all the enemies in one room it would be nice if there was a way to replenish health so the next encounter wouldn't be close to impossible.
After a while I realized that the best tactic was to fly over the enemies and bomb them from above. It worked very well in the large room with lots of space, but in the other room it was really difficult since there was too little space to manouver and the enemies were so fast.
The game world was interesting in that it didn't seem completely linear, there were teleports to different locations and you could move to both directions to explore.
Technically the game seemed good. Controls are good and responsive, graphics are simple but clear and neat. Sounds are bit repetitive. Could make a decent game if you keep developing it.
