Oh boy! This is a chunky comment, Thank you so much for giving the game a try and sharing your feedback and thoughts about it, I really appreciate these kind of comments the most.
Currently the game is quite different, both visually and gameplay wise, in short: everything is better with some additional major features.
I have mostly solved every Issue concerning the player movement and controls, the rest is just scheduled to be solved later on because as you already know other stuff takes priority.
For the space battle part: It was the least focused in the prototype, and because I did not provide any guide or tutorial on that part, I understand that the controls are not that intuitive.
Please know that the game is still in development and a demo for it is planed for release, its going to take a while but if you really want to be there when it resurface, please follow us on itch or on the other social medias provided on this page.
And again thank you so much for the encouragement!
