Liked the glowing bolts that the player and enemies shoot. It gets really quite pretty, especially when the ones that shoot bolts out in rings come on screen. Game play is a little light and didn't find moving forward too useful. Overall, a nice little diversion.

Some kind of bullet-hell shooter with 2-button controls? The concept is really nice and it's quite challenging too! I still didn't see the upgrades in my own ship, though, maybe I didn't advance too much in the game.

With more detailt, some balancing on the enemy waves and player shooting, this could turn into some interesting game! :)
