Future Plans
------------

We planned many more features but ran out of time.

- Enemy waves that come from the borders
- Enemy ships that shoot projectiles
- More enemy movement patterns
- Destructible border weapons
- Better ship weapons
- End bosses

Stay tuned for another release with these features and more after the contest
period. :)
