I also like how you don't limit the firing speed, so one can click away(or macro away). I also think you might've put too much HP for the player as it takes a lot of time to get killed in the game.

With some tweaking could be more compelling, but as it is I got bored after a few minutes of kiting the enemies around.  Ramping up the difficulty more quickly as well as making the bullets, player and enemies faster would help.  I realise it's minimalistic, but games like this need to be &quot;juicy&quot; and give a lot of feedback to feel rewarding - explosions, satisfying sounds, score numbers flying off... The music loop could do with being longer."},{"author_name":"gerritg","author_uid":"22527","time":"May 15, 2013 @ 11:21pm","epoch":1368659760,"text":"Plays OK, but it needs borders and I swear the controls locked in two times.
