Thanks for playing!
Making the player a bit more able to take damage I think will be good for the early game, make it easy at the start then ramp up the difficulty
Yeah it should probably be a bit easier at the start
Are you going to cook a story for this somewhere down the line? If so, what are you thinking?
In my experience story ideas don't survive the story being written so I usually don't talk about them too much.
But the setting is pretty much already decided: you play as an AI made by some dude in a scrappy spaceship and follow his orders to fight a race of aliens called the Cancri.
Anything beyond that is wishful thinking until I manage to finally nail down physics and controls.
But thanks for the interest and for the feedback
