Like the description says its a very simple space shooter. I think it could be made more enjoyable through some fairly simple changes:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>The enemies start really far away, my bullets can’t reach them and I can’t move closer. You could either increase the range of the bullets, have the enemies move closer or allow the player to move upwards.</li>\n<li>Moving and shooting using the arrow keys is perhaps not the optimal key configuration. What if you move shooting to something other than down arrow? Perhaps spacebar?</li>\n<li>The enemies are really slow and doesn’t really pose a problem. What if you increase the speed to force the player to act faster and aim better to avoid getting hit by the incoming enemies?</li>\n</ul>\n"},{"typ":2,"at":254282331,"author":"Ale Bles","login":"alebles","gh":3883477,"url":"https://azerion.com","twitter":"alebles","text":"<p>Simple game, a bit of Asteroids (art) meets Space Invaders (core game).
