here is a part where I'm about to die:

This game looks really cool, but I'd be nice to have a description of how it works.

The WIP demo is here.
Hoorah.
The code is somewhat messy but WTFPL, except for bartbes' SoundManager which isn't, but is under MIT. There's a WIP modular library included, but with no instructions, since it's WIP. You kids have fun.
Controls:
Move - left, right, up, down or the first joystick knob on the first plugged in joystick
Shoot - WASD or the second joystick knob
Notes:
It's really WIP. And I want to make a demo right now, haha.
Oh, and you can crack open main.lua and mess around in the love.load for different enemies. I will write a wave generator and gui stuff later. Also gotta find the balance for sound. And you can change the spray_level inside player.lua for moar power.

Fault: my stoned self
Oh, and fixing packaging problem. Mybad.
Edit: OK, so I guess subdirectories inside of love files should work?
I'm pretty sure that you can unzip this and do the standard love thing, though. Still, how to fix this? Should I be modifying my source layout? Is there a trivial code change?

Yeah, I'm having some trouble with packaging.
I just tested extracting and executing the resulting folder structure - that should work. Unfortunately, on the love file, love can't find compressed subdirectories.
Maybe that's a sort of feature request?
@rikkit: apologies, look two posts up, my good man.

Looks interesting. It's a bit CPU-intensive for my machine.
It might work as .love if you change all those require "yale/util" etc. to require "yale.util".
