Fun little game, but a bit overwhelming.
Visuals are nice and sound is crips. Really cool you did it using just html and js.
I was kinda hard to keep up with the rhythm and shoot pixel-wide enemies at the same time.
I managed to score 2000 simply by spamming attack and focusing on killing enemies.

This is such a neat idea. I haven't a rhythmic bone in my body so combo chains were... low... but I did enjoy the game! Visually, it looks great but the pulsing does get to be a bit much after a while. A play-in-short-bursts kind of game. Well done!

Really cool concept, only HTML + JS?! That's insane, great work! I did have some visual fatigue after a few minutes though, as all the flashing particles were a bit overwhelming. Congratulations on finishing and releasing your project!

Those 1-pixel thin enemies kept wrecking me lol but it’s satisfying to get hits. Can’t believe this is just JS too. Nice work!

interesting concept and pretty amazing results for not using any engines or frameworks. great job!

The “splatter” of the firing is fun! gg

really cool graphics / particle effects! lovely idea of mixing galaga with a rhythm game. I sometimes felt that the music wasn't fast enough for me to have sufficient fire rate to kill all the enemies, but whenever I was able to get into the rhythm and shoot properly 10-15x in a row that was super satisfying! lovely concept, would work wonders on mobile!

I was a big fan of Galaga back in the day, this brought me back!  The animation of the gun shooting is particularly satisfying.  Those little one px vertical enemies are tough, it's a fun challenge.

Really cool concept. I love how the gameplay is tied to the music. Awesome job!
