My favorite modes would have to be formation 5 and 1. This game is like a new take on some old freshness, I'm talking about lifeforce for the NES! that game was bomb and dis game is bomb!
A short review
To start with, choosing to do a shooter is a bit of a cop out for the game jam. I never felt like a ladybug and never felt like I was fighting a butcher. But I'll judge this game independently of the contest.
It's a lot of fun for a stock shooter. Nice choice of music, art, and sound effects. The control is smooth and easy. But there is one fatal flaw:
The screen stretches beyond my monitor, and when I fullscreen, I'm unable to use my keyboard controls (and I need the number keys to change formation). As you can imagine, this can lead to some difficulty.
I was still able to manage for the most part, though and enjoyed the challenge the game presented. So nothing new, but a well executed shooter.
(If you need to troubleshoot, I'm running Firefox 3.6.13 on Mac OS X 10.5.8)

blame adobe for locking keys in fullscreen for "security reasons"
