Cool game, impressive in technology and scope. Definitely made me want to play FtL again. The desire to stack weapons and smash enemies is getting triggered.

Obviously looks and sounds are semi-placeholders, so I am noting just some tech issues:

  • Everything is so damn small in general
  • Crew controls vs. door controls are tough, I felt that leftclick and rightclick both did the same thing, and if you click on a door while door controls are disabled, your selected crewmen run there instead. Also by default clicking on crewmen adds them to current selection rather than switching cur selection out?
  • Cannot click on "Start" anymore after losing once
  • Default game speed seems very fast, made me wonder if it was bugged for me

Thanks for playing!
The smallness is a problem, not sure what to do, could make certain things bigger, but I think of the symbols as letters or words in a system. Once you recognize some small thing as indicative of an attribute it becomes a bit less indecipherable. Good point about disabled doors. The start issue I didn't realize was still in the windows version, I will need to update the downloads. The game speed can be adjusted with 'p' and 'o' and space. Also one thing I saw in the play was that you didn't use the 'z' or shift keys to read the information labels. I realize this is probably because they are never mentioned explicitly in the gameplay. Also scrolling the map is c+click/e+click and sadly not the scroll wheel.

Interesting information. By the way, why are the ship rooms (tiles) sometimes coloured and sometimes grey?

Ships with graphics are gray, but the ships without graphics are colored in, otherwise they will be colored in by holding z or shift for information.
