Good start, good graphics, potential

It feels a bit incomplete but I haven’t hit any bugs yet.

For joystick controls and overall controls I would love to customize the layout.

I would also love it if the upgrades would tell you how much of an upgrade it is. Like increase 50% or 100% of this.

For powers, having a little video or clip that shows what it does before purchase would be icing on top.

Im not sure of guns have a firing arc or not but there are ranges but it would be nice to see where the guns can shoot.

:)

Fun game. Scratches that ever present and ancient Space Miner itch quite satisfactorily

Wish the sector map displayed RU farms so I didn’t have to quit to the main menu every time to quickly check on which sectors were ready for farming though.

A few weeks later and still loving this game, between the mechanics and the audio/visual candy it’s great. Suggestion: Forward BeM needs to last one second longer, and be twice as loud, can’t get enough of that :)

The pre-pre-pre alpha of this game was actually called "Space Miner" internally! To beat Anubis you want some decent shields, and deployable turrets work well against his cage modes. Try out the challenges or endless mode for RU/rewards to help :)

Spoiler for level 16

The towers still shoot you with the space laser despite Ceres saying that they can after destroying one of them, meaning you need to have significant defenses and speed to avoid it, and sometimes it just decides to hit you, even if you destroyed the tower in the area
Don’t use the bleeder mk1 and 2, the projectiles it launches have a tendency of glitching and being anywhere from 2x to 50x what it was supposed to be, covering a large part of the screen
