Game Graphics Mechanics
Controls are fine, I got used to it really quick.

I like the retro art style. However, there are some graphical elements I'd adjust
- the background image too bright and together with those trees, it camouflages some powerups (especially ammo) sometimes
- the "pixels" sizes are not consistent. I don't mind having finer pixel art objects in front of a coarse background, but the background alone has different levels of detail
- the health display should be more present

I know it's just a beta and you might not have concentrated on content much yet. But still: What is the goal? Is it just all about collecting coins? Is there any variety in difficulty (e.g. end bosses or huge waves of enemies)? I also think the "action" could need some tweaking. Try having more enemies or higher rate of fire, but have them dealing less damage, so difficulty overall stays the same.

Game Graphics Physics
I like it, it have a lot to potential
- try add some inertia, movement will be more fun with it. (like in asteroids game)
- i dont like automatic weapons change, i like to chose which i used.
- i like camera shake
- i like many different enemies
- maybe it was nice with some boss :)
- but game is fun.
