Glad to see we had similar interpretations of theme! This was challenging, but once I got the hang of it, I was having so much fun playing it!
For some reason, I assumed you could only build out the FRONT of the rocket, so I did that for like 10 attemps. Once I realized you could build towards the back, which also zooms out the camera as you scale up, it was much more fun.
I felt like I was constanly low on tractor beam. And if I understand correctly, building the beam upgrade only increases the total capacity, not the the charge rate? It felt like it was hard to keep up with all the space junk at a certain point.
Maybe a time-stopped build mode would make it easier if you want that? Regardless, super fun to play. And super clean looking UI.
