It was -pretty- good. I wasn't a big fan of the way the control scheme worked, though. The way the ship followed your mouse made it much harder to aim at an enemy ship without plowing straight into it. And when you stayed still and shot at the enemy, you were a sitting duck just waiting to be shot down.. This really detracted from the gameplay.
Also, you just kind of did the same exact thing over and over again with no real change or new enemies, which kind of got boring. If you make another iteration of this, try and spice things up by adding new enemies and challenges every round to keep things interesting.
I did however love your engine, and the graphics minus those of your ship and the enemy ship were really good. If you change the controls around, (wasd and mouse, perhaps?) and add in more varience, you could have a stellar game on your hands. :)

thanks :) you may have actually inspired the plot to my next game. I've been debating with some people on what it should be, so maybe I'll think about it with the great reviews I've gotten on this, which only took me a few days.
