Thank you, Erpel! The flying was a fluke I ended up loving and audio engineering is one of my strengths. The character does seem a little small. And the tower regen was leftover code that I wanted to implement with some kind of cool healing spell. So you're dead on about the reason behind it, though it wasn't communicated.
You are currently in second place with 54 ships! One of my viewers, AsteroidBuggs has 64. But you offered me a cheat code to your game, so I'll offer you one if return if you desire. It's a small advantage that could help you take first again. Lmk
