Control scheme interesting and somewhat novel but a little difficult (probably to at least in part to unfamiliarity); there is potential there but it needs refinement. I think I would like mouse to aim, keys to move the ship, personally. The graphics are small and difficult to see. Better (larger, mainly) graphics would be a logical improvement at this point. None of the aforementioned problems are really severe. Overall, it's a competently executed but forgettable basic space invaders style game; a quirky control scheme alone is not enough to differentiate it from similar games.
