Hi, Mr. jwiggs. I found a small bug in the console, which is the game will break down if you only type "?"

Also, I have a not bad idea for a new weapon when I was playing with weapons' properties. If you make a weapon have a 'projectileknockback' with a negative number, the enemy will be pull towards your spacecraft. This kind of weapon will work well with spykes, and if the enemies equip this kind of weapon, the players will have so much ‘fun’ when fighting.

I think close combat type is not strong enough, especially in later realms.

One more thing to tell, the update called "enemy boosting" is great, but it will also lead an OP way (kiteflying) to play. Players can easily win any enemy by keep moving to the left and shooting to the right, in this way, an enemy can never hurt players, but players can still cause damage.

In the end, love this game a lot, and looking forward to next update. >_<

Hello,

Thanks for your great feedback and the bug report! The console was built primarily as the start for giving players like you the ability to have more and more access to some developer tools (and also to give me access to them as well), and reverse recoil weapons are a great example of the console creating some interesting gameplay mechanics.

Enemy boosting was a good change from looping enemies, but unfortunately, it led to the extremely overpowered strategy where you can just run and kite the enemies indefinitely. I seriously overlooked the impact enemy boosts would have.

If you have any more ideas, the discord server is a great place to hear what other people are thinking as well, and I really rely on the community to help me guide the game in the best direction, especially as the next update is being developed.

Thanks again!

So happy to get an author’s reply!

I wish I could join the discord community, and I did try, however, Discord seems don’t work in China. So do you have other way to communicate you prefer? Like email?

You might find something weird in my words, probably it’s because I am still learning English in an international high school. But hopefully you can basically understand^-^

Again, looking forward to next update and a formal end of the game.
