Fun game! First time I could call a roguelike a melee bump-fest and mean it as a compliment ;)

- This would be an interesting idea for a game that ran in real time, but I'm not sure how well it translates to a turn based system. The momentum idea is difficult to understand in a turn based simulation. Even though you have a display of how fast you are moving each turn, comparing that to enemy ships, is nearly impossible. It also did not seem like there were too many traditional roguelike elements involved in this game, it seems like a traditional arcade style game translated into a turn based simulation.
- Completeness - I encountered no bugs, everything ran fine Aesthetics - really like the look and feel. Navigating the menus for scrap and info felt kinda clunky. It would also have been nice to have some way to gauge the relative speed of ships (perhaps with the length of the blue direction indicator), since that felt like pretty crucial information but was hard to read. Fun - I enjoyed my time on this. It's not a game to sink hours into, but the time you can put in is worth it. Innovation - the burn mechanics were interesting and made a fun bump fest. Scope - a good-sized exploration of the mechanics Roguelike - it's a roguelike in my book. Turn-based, tactics, exploration. It's arguably missing a grid, but from a certain perspective, it is on a grid, just all the ships are multiple tiles ;)
