Very fun game! I REALLY liked the rotating turret, which in my mind was the main gameplay mechanic! The ship was indeed hard to control haha!
I wanted to ask if making the spaceship thrust with Spacebar was intentional, because the WASD controls don’t really “rotate” the ship (unlike Asteroids for example) but instead they align the ship towards the pressed direction. Therefore, the inclusion of Spacebar felt somewhat “redundant” to me and I think THAT is what makes the ship hard to control. If you ask me, you can either a) make the ship move like in Asteroids or b) get rid of the Spacebar function entirely and just make the ship move with WASD.
Congratulations!
