Thanks for playing! I was really happy with how the visual effects turned out. Using a few tricks with layering different animations and sprites, I was able to extend a small sprite sheet built out of circles with noise into just about every particle effect and enemy.
I definitely agree with the tutorial screen being overwhelming. I plan to make a tutorial intro level to ease the player into the the game and set up some expectations as well.
Sorry you had trouble with the map. I'll look into it moving on it's own, it should only be player driven (with the Up/Down controls). I could also have it recenter after every flight as well, which should give the player the best view of their next options. Once I flesh out the resource system more, I'll add a confirmation screen for the flights, that way the play can get a sense of expected returns per flight and have a layer of confirmation in case of misclicks.
