• The game will crash if you change the spawn delay (500 milliseconds) in the spawnEnemiesGradually() function
• Some unused variables and functions from the original code are still there
• The player movement is not very smooth, it could be improved to improve the accuracy of the shots
• Poor background
• The game is not very fun, it could be improved by adding more features, like, bosses and power-ups

• There are no menus
• There is no way to change the controls
• There is no way to change the fire rate (just on the code)
