After playing for a while though (even without cheats), I'm afraid it did start getting a bit boring - Gameplay felt a bit sluggish and monotonous and I found myself just getting... bored. With all the right upgrades, you can spend more time just sitting there, waiting for the next wave... and the next wave. It got boring quick. The enemies were more or less of the same. The larger enemies were... more or less the same thing but larger and with more HP to eat up the delicious ammo. The bosses were... just one big target to hit. Some more bosses with a larger sense of strategy would be cool. Perhaps having to use your gun to make some strategic hits to joints on a specific enemy. The ability to shoot certain projectiles down that otherwise take massive damage.
Collectibles found when destroying asteroids would be cool.
Last but not least... music. If anything else, music would be great. I'd be happy to make a score for it, myself if I was asked.
I gave this a 4/5 because as much as I mention here, I genuinely like this game, and it still left me wanting to play more. I also wish the developer would create a sequel as well.
