It feels so nice and nostalgic to be able to play an RM2k3 game again! And I love the sci-fi pixel arts, the tilesets, charsets, and the artwork made for this! The custom space battle system was a cool design, though to be honest I found it challenging and clunky at first navigating the spaceship via the numpad, since I personally am not used to using it, but it does get smoother once you get used to it! Also, I'm not sure if this issue is only on me end, but I wasn't hearing any music the whole game. x( Could be my PC, but who knows. :O Overall, really cool classical sci-fi adventure with lovely pixel graphics and nice shooter battle system! Great job, pianotm! <3

Thank you so much!
Tip: you can shoot from the hip with missiles. As long as fire on or slightly before an enemy ship when crossing its path, the missile will hit. They're hard to take out with lasers because their shields regenerate and they constantly move, but hitting them with missiles is easy once you get the hang of it.
As for controlling the ship, the reason you can also stop with x and \ keys is because one of my playtesters was having a lot of trouble stopping with the 5, and the 5 on the top row was too awkward because it's not by shift.
No music? Didn't hear that from my playtesters. They're OGGs using the Maniacs Patch. It's the Steam version of 2k3, so it SHOULDN'T be having a compatibility issue. It's probably something not reading right on your computer.
