This is a very unique and interesting game, but I feel that all of the positive feedback it has been getting is a bit biased, for there is still a lot of work that needs to go into this game. Here are a couple of suggestions I have that you may consider implementing.
Arcade scoring system. 1 point is awarded for each frame run by the game, 1000 points for a successful shot (2500 and 5000 for more powerful shots), and 10000 points for successfully killing an enemy. I believe a score that is rapidly increasing will give players a bit more pressure to endure longer.
Dialogs. There aren't any buttons for the player to scroll through with the arrow keys, and this is essential if these improvements are to be implemented. Adding this function will also enable the player to configure commands that were previously keyboard shortcuts through a menu, and also to set their own keyboard bindings.
Versus mode. Two ships drive top to bottom, both towards the right, undergoing the same trials. The first ship to die or run out of energy (by not shooting the enemy) is the loser.
Co-op mode. Two ships drive top to bottom undergoing different trials, and lives are shared. The score earnt in this mode is double that of standard modes.
More colours and themes. I think this would be pretty cool, being able to set a certain colour scheme and also to switch between light and dark mode.
Raw mode. No enemies to fight, focused solely on the player's ability to navigate through obstacles. 1 point for each obstacle avoided (fully).
Special effects toggle. Give players with visual impairments like epilepsy a chance by allowing all special effects to be disabled in a menu.
Thank you for reading this comment, if you have, and I look forward to hearing your reply.
This game is really simple, but super hard to master. You definitely should port this game over to IOS or Android devices.
I had a great time playing this game, I loved the RGB shift edits you added and the mechanics were original twists on bullet dodge games. Loved it!

Flipside is a colorful high action shoot-them-up with a unique control pattern and bullet-dodging style, unlike anything you have seen or played before. Weave through wave after wave of randomly generated bosses to achieve the high score!
