My apologies for not being able to get back to you sooner. I'm glad the game was able to load for you! I really appreciate this feedback and I have been working on a lot of these changes. The inertia effect is slightly reduced for other ships, but it is still something I am looking in to. Previous movement felt too arcade like, so I'm looking for a balance between the two.
I have reshaped the hitboxes and added 3 lives, as well as slowing the levels down slightly as well. I will be looking to add a game over type effect shortly as I have recently finished how the in game dialogue works to add more character and feedback.
Take care,
Vox
