I very much like the cute hand-drawn graphics! Some cute mouth-made sounds would have gone nicely with that, but hey, it's a jam, ain't nobody got time for that :)

The control feels a bit floaty, which might be on purpose because it's a floating saucer after all, but moving around doesn't feel very satisfying. The ability to collect and re-use bullets is clever, but why not make it automatic? Right now I just kept the right mouse button pressed all the time. I would have liked to have an ammo counter. I do like that bullets bounce, so you have to be careful not to hit yourself.

The presence of the Green Landing Pad Of Infinite Healing makes the game rather easy, especially because it's in a sheltered area (at least in the levels I got to).

The connection with the theme, even the Ships theme, is maybe a bit weak.

There is no challenge, but the idea of doing something trivial as fast as possible is valid highscore fuel, so why didn't you enable the highscore submission system? Given that time is the measure of success it should pause while the messages pop up. Kind of annoying seeing the seconds tick away while I wait.

Of course, making the challenge less trivial would be nice. More numerous and less predictable enemies with less knockback on the weapon would be a start. Ramming into enemies as a last resort is a nice touch and could be further incentivised with a dash ability.

Audio improves action ten-fold, so do focus on that next time. Pretty good job despite the lacking challenge. Keep at it.

Fun game. No reason to not submit it to the ranked jam imho.
I would prefer my ship collect ammo without having to right click. Also the balls should accelerate in order to always being able to reach their target even if the ship is moving fast.
