Interesting game.

 

Some critique: My first impression was that the game was boring, since the random generation of the enemies + controlled fire rate meant that I didn't get to kill many enemies. If I was playing this on  a whim I probably would have quit. However, I pressed on, and the game was much more enjoyable even with just the first level weapon upgrade. Overall, I enjoyed the game, and with a bit of tweaking it would be more fun!

 

Suggestion: Increase the default fire rate, and make the first wave of enemies move a bit slower.

there is a lot to be learned from this game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeATR1OZuoo

 

Just increasing the pace of everything can make a game more fun.  Even if you simply increased the speed of the shots by 10x and reduced the damage they do by 10x, there is a lot more feeling to controlling a ship that is blasting tons of rounds instead of slowly firing one powerful one.

Really good video to follow through on for a game like this.
