Interesting, smooth and fun to play, though the scale of a few things feels a bit large compared to the total screen area, and the safe one/gaps on certain shots is smaller than the ship itself, I presume the actual hitbox is smaller than the visuals.
Good fun though and I will have a video up for it Wed.
