Hey thanks for the detailed feedback! Intersting, it did not occur to me that people would dodge the pickups. Good to get that perspective.
We could definitely make the controls for keyboard stand out more. Maybe even switching them to the right.
Definitely agree on weapon cooldown could be more noticeable. Maybe the tip of the ship could get hotter.
The accretion disk was a side affect of the way we made the game but we decided to leave it in as it only blocked vision for a few seconds and we felt it would be a little exciting.
