- Hey! I really like the direction you guys went for with your theme interpretation. I think that this is a really cool take on the spaceship AI trope. My favorite bits are the hand-drawn art and music. The details when a room is damaged or on fire are really great, and the repair minigames are simple enough to where it was really easy to pick up what I had to do when. It's a great looking and playing demo! My main points of feedback apply to balance and the enemy/shooting mechanics. Looks like you already identified the issues with the high damage rate, so that's great. The whole enemy mechanic was also a little confusing to me. I couldn't seem to figure out how to fire or what I was firing at. Maybe an introductory level to get the players used to the basic ship mechanics and what each shop item actually affects? Overall, great job! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this.

Summarise your game!
Manage the AI onboard a spaceship, fend of enemy vessels and upgrade your ship to be better than the rest!
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
We interpreted the theme as the weapon being the spaceship itself, with the ability to attack the enemy ship being the element of weaponary.

As a fellow FTL enthusiast I love the idea - bonus points for being a MS paint ally as well
Difficulty was wild though - I am not sure if I am missing something, or if my hands are just getting too old to be put in charge for both firebrigade and engineering on a spaceship in combat
I like the art and mechanics, but the game is literally impossible.
Unique art style with simple mechanics! Good but definitely hard.
Cool concept, but all my engines constantly needed repairs or were on fire. It would have been easier to get into if it was more progressive. ^^'
