pretty fun! the two button theming feels a little forced, but it's a cute little space shooter that feels good to play :)

Completely fair.  I had a lot of trouble with that modifier.  Definitely a bit forced.  Did the best I could with it.

Appreciate you taking the time to play and leave feedback.  Cheers!
