You've done some VERY nice things with the graphics. I really like your planets, bullets, and explosions!

I think these games live and die by their player controls. I did a similar project in the past (and probably will again), and my testing group kept focusing on the player ship. "It needs to turn faster!" "Give me a booster button!" "Too slow!" I was led to the conclusion that players may "get" that you're making a more complex game, with valid reasons for limiting the performance of the avatar, but their fingers had been wired for fast simple action, and if their fingers didn't like it, they couldn't either.

Anyway, you're on the path to a great game. Keep it up!

The controls feel sluggish, but I'm in love with the visual effects. VERY nice job :)
