You know i quite see potential in the dashing mechanics, but it has to be infinite or really quick to cool down, also you could consider a button that maintain the direction of your ship so to fire while strafing.
Is this project gonna be a game?

Dashing's something I need to work on, I've been considering giving it damage or I-frames.
The ressource that limits it right now isn't thought out and doesn't regen fast enough I agree.
"Strafing" is out of the question though, the game's supposed to be like Luftrausers, which is all about dogfighting, though I may add some slight "aiming" towards the mouse within an angle from the ship.
I want it to be a definitive game, the scope of it seems small and reasonable, and so far the project has only been going on for about three weeks.
