Some gameplay, a smattering of critique ;)
Thank you!
My stomach dropped when I saw the post.... Knowing the state of the game and the lack of tutorial, I braced for the worst... :)
The review was perfect for where the game is...
Your wrap up was great because you basically layed out where I am going with the game... I will be adding a campaign mode with ship upgrades and I want to try to add an Asteroids style battle system... I am not sure if mixing those genres is a good idea, but I am going to give it a try.
