It took some time to dig up, but this reminded me of Thunderstrike[0]

Controls are behaving strange with turning, sometimes it registers right away, sometimes it takes some time (like a whole second), sometimes it just ignores the key. Firefox, Windows.

If you want to add something then in no particular order:

clouds, especially for the top down view

small moving inertia

firing sounds, so it would be a slightly annoying to constantly press fire

borders for the outer area or wrap around the world

high score board at least for a session

once in a while (rnd 5-10 seconds?) make the bots change to a random direction, so they wouldn't pack after the player
