I don't understand why, but the game is often compared to the legendary Asteriods (1979). Although personally, I only see the presence of asteroids and a triangular protagonist in common. Imho this is the same as, for example, saying that Minecraft is worse than the old Tetris because there is no glass and square blocks in a row are not destroyed.

Nevertheless, I continue to improve the asteroids in my game. Interactivity may come later. And now more interesting obstacle sprites. It seems to me that it turned out cool.

Then I added simple animations to the enemy ships. So that the whole game scene looked more alive.

And finally, game progression. Now, as you complete each level, access to the next one will open. And when you re-complete an already opened level, a new task will be given. For example, complete the entire level, shooting no more than 12 times. I think this will be an interesting challenge to increase replayability.

Next, I want to try making several types of bullets with different behavior. Which bullet would you like to see in the game? Be sure to vote below!

Title screen mockup for demo and early access. A very rough sketch. Wanted to see if this is an interesting option at all. Do you think it's worth developing?
