I really like the idea here but I struggled badly with the controls. I accidentally moved too far early in the tutorial trying to figure out how to use the navigation system and from there on I was never able to find the place I was suppose to go to again. Even reaching Merz was difficult because I kept sliding past it. But when I could wrangle the controls enough to fight off a couple of ships, those moments shine. I really love top down shooter games like this, I just think the controls may have been a bit too unique. And the number of systems is really overwhelming at first but that may actually be a big selling point for your game once people play it more. It seems more complicated that the typical top down space game and I can definitely see the appeal of a more in-depth version like this.
