Nice game!

I can see that your are still improving it 🙂

I would add a charge shot. The more you hold the mouse the bigger the laser shot is. Of course you would use more energy.

Nice work ! The only problem is that the spaceship is too slow, but it’s very good.

With using the [socket.io](http://socket.io) library it is really useful except It uses TCP instead of UDP which slows things a bit

Cool 🙂

Now it would be great to get some visual feedback:

- When you press the mouse you see the power slider going down (so you know how powerful your shot is)
- The more powerful the shot is the bigger the ball appears

Also I noticed that when you put the mouse on your ship it instantly stops. It would be great if it wasn’t that harsh!
