Solid though!
The voiceovers were great.
The enemies should spawn on the edge and come in, or at least shimmer or something before materializing, lots of cheap deaths.
57 my record!
Firstly, the distance for collision is too short and unforgiving. You die before you feel like you got hit, which was frustrating.
Secondly, the enemies seem to spawn anywhere, sometimes right in front of you at speed, leading to an instant death. Maybe better to spawn them off screen.
Other than that, nice simple game. I like the voice instructions and commentary.
Couple things I didn't like: enemies spawning in the middle of the arena, enemies spawning on top of you when the game starts, and the lack of more enemies.
Nice twist on the move "mouse to dodge stuff" genre.
What bothered me most was that the collision detection is not accurate. It's so much fun to go right by some triangles, but since the collision occurs in a bit of a distance, sometimes you die unexpectedly.
Loved all the different weapons :)
