Space Menace 4+

The route on missions is bugged. It looks like it shows the route to the last item in the mission list, then after deselecting and reselecting, shows the correct route.

How the territories switch seems odd. How are pirates capturing space stations when a faction controls all adjacent systems? That’s just annoying.

Thank you for your feedback and sorry for the inconvenience. Although changing the color of modules is not possible, I will look into providing an option to choose the color for certain parts of the game. I will try to add this option in the future update.


Edit: Thank you for bringing this bug to my attention. I have investigated the issue, and it appears that everything is functioning normally. Could you please provide more details about when this bug occurs? Additionally, a screenshot would be immensely helpful. Feel free to contact me via email, Discord, or any other preferred method.

The only real issue, at least in my opinion, is that enemy factions take back territory too quickly, though I suspect this is intentional. Just a little tedious warping to a new system only to find the one you just took over is already taken back. A minor irritation is that missiles are probably the only good weapon up until you start getting the big boats and still generally outperforms other weapons. Executioner with Burst Plasma is hilarious to watch melt things though. Quite satisfying watching a bunch of tiny balls of doom obliterate big ships and space stations. Besides those, energy recharge seems a little inconsistent, even with the boosters. Not a game breaking issue though.

Anyway, aside from that I have no real gripes. Nice UI, decent game play and reasonably difficult. Once you pick up on the mechanics it gets easier but, not absurdly easy like some games. You never really seem to get so powerful you can just warp in and wreck everything without a thought. Which is how it should be if I do say so myself. Dev did a really good job as a one man operation. The only thing I might change is making pirates more like a random event, and switching the third faction to something else, like an underdog type faction. Anyway, dev if you read this I write as a hobby so if you want some faction lore/world building written up to spice up the game toss me an email at thenexian2@gmail, free of charge. Won’t be anything fancy (I’m not a pro by any means) but, I can throw something together for you.

Thank you very much for your detailed review and for highlighting areas for improvement. Your feedback is invaluable and will definitely help me improve future games. I appreciate your generous offer regarding story and world-building, but I have already completed development on this game and prefer to keep the text to a minimum. Currently, I am working on my next project. Thanks again for your support and understanding!
