Jan 10 20:54:07 Junkship ♥ 1 Nice job, really nailed the space atmosphere, way better than I did with the space theme. Some of those CRT shaders would've fit so nicely in my arcade-like space game haha, definitely jealous :) I think maybe the first ship should handle better, or the first upgrade should be cheaper to obtain, now I found myself spending a lot of time with the first "bad" ship (I'm assuming the other ones handled better and moved faster) which isn't a great first experience for players if they get stuck there for too long. You want to hook the player in from the start. I think something that could've maybe improved the manuverability and the movement experience is to add some extra force when the player thrusts in a direction opposite of the one they are going to make it easier to stop/turn the ship. Ultimately the fun comes from both exploring the entire area but also to do nice movements and close dodges and I think one could've leaned more into the movement side to give that extra nice experience for new players. But seriously, beautiful polish with the graphics & shaders and the soundtrack fits the atmosphere wonderfully. Well done.
