I got you on that one, and thanks for the feedback! I agree. Yes, I actually made an update so that in level one, the player can just let it drop straight without hitting a rock until he's near the base :) The steering also doesn't require too much tilt on teh device. Slight and brief tilts will move the ship sideways.
May I know what device are you testing it on? I am a bit disappointed on some feedback that it is horribly laggy on older devices. DOes it run like a real 60fps or does it show choppiness?
Two things: I guess I have to limit future downloads to minimum Android 5 or downscale the whole thing :( It's a mistake I made from the start.
