At first I followed the tutorial arrows and just assumed, that the arrows would lead me to the mentioned bases and pretty much finished the game with a shot or two - but then I tried to find the bases on my own (as intended)... and then the fun began.
There's always a bigger ship to shoot you when you got one of the smaller ones, and I spent more time fighting armadas of bobbleheaded pirates than I'm willing to admit. I love the visuals and the gameplay is really engaging.
The warp effect on the sides was a bit much, otherwise I've got no negative points - that aren't explained by a distinct lack of time (e.g. -> only one level)..
