It ran very slowly on my computer. About 2 fps. Any ideas why it's so slow?

Most games work fine on my PC.

Did you try disabling the starfield? What are the specs of your computer/video-card? I agree that I didn't exactly write it a too efficient manner, but it shouldn't be that bad. :/

It's great. No rooky mistakes, nice colision detection (except for the mother ships) and good conservation of momentum. Ran like a dream on my laptop. Code doesn't always need to be tight, just the main loop parts. I would add some kind of High Scores component and lives system to finish it off.

Very well done.
