Fun game once I realized what I needed to do. AI could be a bit harder, they don't seem to know how to approach the player if they're a certain distance away which let me take leading-shots on them while staying safe, and they also don't seem to change course to avoid missiles. I would love if there we key bindings for move/fire, and the different missile types. But I can see where you're going with it and look forward to more!

Ok, I'm fan. I love the mechanics, it's simple and practical. Beautiful graphics! Got problems with some UI elements for 21.9 aspect ratio:

The controls is very mobile oriented, it's nice and so but would be cool if I can at least change the move and aim mode with a shortcut (did I miss one?) Keep it up!

Hey, thanks for trying out the game! For now, the windows version is a straight port from mobile but there will definitely be key bindings in the future to make the controls better. 

>21:9 aspect ratio

Oof, now that is an ultra wide screen. There are like... 2 phones on the market with this ratio right now I think, but definitely a thing to consider so thanks for pointing it out!

I'm sorry, I couldn't bring myself to finish your demo. I think it's mostly a neat idea. I played it on Windows. The lack of tutorial threw me off, and when I realized what the gameplay actually was, I honestly was incredibly disappointed. This probably plays better on a phone, but the Windows version is kinda not great gameplay-wise. Anything that wasn't gameplay was excellent, as everyone else put it. I think this game is probably just not for me, and I wish you luck! Keep up the good progress!

Thank you for trying out the game. I understand the lack of tutorial can be frustrating, I will work on that. I hope to deliver the best experience on mobile and I appreciate the encouragement!

If it helps, I showed it to 3 others and they all loved it. So keep truckin'!

Space+RP+pretty cool battle system = great game 

Great aesthetics, very beautiful to look at.

A tutorial would certainly have been great. Especially for those crazy enough to try hard from the get go.  As mentioned below, locational damage would also be pretty cool. Overall an enjoyable game, though a bit overwhelming until you learn.

Developer

A proper tutorial is definitely my next milestone.  Thank you for your review!

Impressive stuff. I managed to get an S score in the mission but I guess there's only one for now right? Has lots of potential. As already mentioned localized damage would be a nice feature to add. I really liked it.

Developer

I am glad you liked it. Thank you for your comment! The scoring is not perfect but I will work on it more.

This was really impressive. Would have liked a tutorial or just a headsup before getting thrown into the combat, but i got the hang of it (i think). Really wish there was more content but whats there is cool, i liked that u had to switch between movement and firing, it has potential if you e.g. have to target specific parts of the ship to take out engines etc.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I have added your suggestion on subsystem damage to my roadmap. A tutorial for the demo is a current priority and more content will be coming soon.
