Feedback
I found this game to be very interesting to play, while it is limited with visual elements if focuses more on the game mechanics than visual impact. It took me a short while to figure out how to play with building ships and using resources correctly but this game reminds me a lot of the game “Final Core” which has a similar concept.
Multiple choice options to build a custom ship with limited resources helps add that extra bit of personal touch, the Main Menu system is also constructed well with the ability to change game settings while in-game. I found the arena where the players battle to be a little simplistic with a basic sun and planet, I feel if more was added it would create a good environment. I am also happy with the choice of sounds and music, although not critical for a games function it does help break the silence.
Documentation is also constructed well showing stages of development but screenshots would have helped explain better as I did get a bit lost without someone to fall back on.
Summary
I enjoyed this game very much, it’s simple construction and functionality provided an entertaining experience with a lot of focus one game mechanic and not graphics. There is certainly room for improvement but then again there always will be in game development. As a YouTuber and game developer myself we consider it a pleasure to try your games and I am pleased to have had the opportunity to try your game.
Thank you.

The presentation / UI could also do with some polish, feels a bit to clinical at the moment but still good. I like how you display the amount of ammo on the ship itself rather then have some UI element depicting this.
