New ability & auto-firing is working for both weapon types. Many more abilities in the pipeline too! I like the particle effects on the collisions so far but I want to add some color there. I'm getting sick of this grey ship too..

New version released as early alpha! I did this bc the game kinda works as a nice screensaver right now ><

Press 1-5 to equip/un-equip weapons, everything auto-fires right now. Once you reach the top it just restarts. Levels just go up for now...
