Just played your entry! Personally I liked the ship customization part of the game! Nice addition :)
Left some feedback down below.
Ship Customization
- I really like the ship customization (personally though I love any game where I can customize anything :D). I think something you could do to improve on it would be to allow selecting parts other than guns to change your ships stats! Like thrusters, wings, color, and etc.
- For me personally, the ship's UI was not intuitive the first time I saw it. I figured it out after a couple seconds, but maybe consider moving the ship + parts section from the bottom of the page to right beside the parts.
- Also maybe consider adding a title to each side of the gun selection like Right Blaster: Shotgun, and Left Blaster: Machine Gun. When selecting my gun parts I could not tell which side they go on at first.
- Also potentially adding some audio feedback on picking a part would be nice as well. It makes the customization feel more immersive based on my time with editors.
General / Gameplay
- The firing felt nice, but something that would help would be to add a visual cooldown on the guns. Like maybe a shader that turns the sprite progressively red to signal that it will need to cooldown soon?
- I echo what CrashDumpSoftware stated about the movement as well. For me the current keyboard controls are very hard to get used to.
