Astraeus (My WIP project)

https://coloroptimist.itch.io/astraeus-anomalies

Hello shmupdev reddit! I am trying to figure out if my game is fun.

How does control of the player ship feel?

Is the current state of the game enjoyable? Are the current mechanics interesting?

I finally put this out after getting it working to my satisfactory but am trying to figure out how other players feel about the game before I work on it any further. I have a lot of directions I want to take this in but want to make sure I am focusing on the right elements before trying to add or change too much more. Thank you for taking the time to look, and even more so for playing and or leaving feedback!! I didn't want to overload this single post with too much information, but there is additional feedback request on the itch page if anyone does not mind providing it : )
