pretty unpolished visually and the controls are weird, but the core idea is cool! i think if you polished the presentation and introduced the different ships more gradually (e.g. add new ones throughout the game instead of explaining all of them at the very start), this could be a pretty fun game. it's cool how the ship parts are both offense and defense, and the variety is cool (even if hard to learn all at once lol)

Ah I mean the floatyness! Like holding a key and waiting for the ship to move and being slow to change direction. I prefer when it's more immediate however that being said there could be situations where less responsive controls fit what you are trying to do. Also I think it would be easier to control if the direction keys resulted in world space movement rather than ship relative if that makes sense. Of course this is just one opinion on the matter :)

Thanks! It was my first time doing a top down game so I probably made some rookie errors, also the space ships seem to have some odd physics once you have a few attached
