\nI found the upgrades menu only after reading the description or I would have missed it, perhaps making it a bit more prominent would have helped.

I made it to level 14 and then the enemies were too fast. The time between waves could be a little shorter, I felt like there was a lot of waiting between waves. The upgrade system was nice, the music was great. Well done!

\nWould be nice to have the music on by default for atmosphere. Throw in explosions and particles and it would rock.
\nOne weird thing happened; when i started wave 2, no aliens arrived.

\nAfter wave one, there were no more waves.
\nControls were pretty simple and easy to use.
\nNice job.

For some more realism, the Moon could pass in front of the Earth for half of its cycle. Also missing some explosions. Nice music.

\nAfter the first wave, I thought it was stuck, but it turned out that the time before the next wave is quite long, I managed to upgrade myself and just wait for a while, I think it would be good to be able to start the next wave faster. Also, for some reason, when 13 flew into me, I died, although the HP was still 5-10 :).
\nIn everything else, the game is great! Pleasant music, appropriate to the theme, good control and intuitive enough. I like how the Earth rotates with its continents :).
\nAmong the improvements I would like to see are possible moving backgrounds, namely stars, starlight (various intensities), passing comets, meteorites, etc. It would be funny to watch how 13 flying to the planet crash into an asteroid and thus do not reach :D.
\nNice game, congratulations!

\nSun orbiting the Earth game me a good chuckle :)
\nThe music fits the space theme nicely.
\nOne thing I’d consider changing would be emoji, seeing that you were far from the size limit it was possible to add some graphics instead.
\n(The use of emoji for graphics makes many entries lack personality and look almost indistinguishable, to me at least.)

I killed all the enemies and then nothing happened after that. The timer kept ticking up but no more enemies spawned, so couldn’t progress after the first round. The upgrades confused me at first because I thought the format was telling me the cost per upgrade and not the increase amount per cost.

The first wave was very easy and barely a challenge, so I was looking forward for the next levels and upgrades.
\nI was surprised, but it seems despite being quite simple, this game is very demanding on my computer, and the animations are not very smooth. It was a bit weird that the moon orbits the earth but never passes in front of the earth somehow.
\nThe time is displayed a bit weirdly, for example instead of 4:01 it would show 4:1 without the zero, which is odd.
I’ve played on desktop and mobile. I think mobile is easier.
\nI enjoyed playing, and can see there’s plenty of scope for expanding it.
\nWhen I dispatched all the 13s the planet kept rotating and the moon orbited but no new 13s came, like the game was over but without a way to continue?

\nNice artstyle and music.
\nThe game would benefit from a little bit variation, maybe othe attack-patterns (not all in a straight line) or variation in the missile-types

\nI like the use of emoji, especially the rockets. Maybe the “13”-asteroids coming at me could have been a mix of emoji ☄️ and the number 13 as well? (Just brainstorming)
