It’s not explained super well, but the core idea behind the game is that you gain the weapon of the ship that killed you, so it’s kinda like rebirth in that when your ship regenerates it is reborn with a new weapon. Now that I explain it it sounds like a bit of a stretch :)
Shoot, I forgot to fix the offscreen part!! I was trying to decide between allowing and showing an indicator to show where you are offscreen, or just blocking it (probably should just do the latter).
Thanks for the comments!
