It was interesting to play this after having played the original Defender for the first time at an arcade just last month. It felt fresh to me despite being from the early 80's because I don't think I've seen other games where you can fly left and right like that, and that the controls feel really responsive and fun. You've definitely captured the feel of the gameplay.
Really fun game with nice visuals! One little problem was that right when you spawn, and there's an alien on top of the spawn point, then it's an automatic death.

Thank you! Capturing the right feel was my primary goal here, so I'm glad to hear I managed it.

Thanks for checking it out! You're right, I should have added a brief invincibility period on spawn... 🤔
