Yeah, I can image how difficult that mechanic was.

Yeah it feels much better no mouse issue. When flying though your thrust is vertical but you can't look where you're going. Maybe on fly mode have the camera facing the movement vector so you can tell which direction your moving, Once you're out in space it's really difficult to sense direction. But massive improvement.
"When flying though your thrust is vertical but you can't look where you're going" I'm not sure what you mean by this. There are 3 thrusts, up forward and back. So you can just thrust forward (Left Mouse) and go in the direction you are facing.
Maybe it's too confusing. I'm proud of some of the technical things in this game, but if I'm being honest, it isn't fun. I just ran out of time. Now that the crunch of the jam is over I can look back and think about what I could have done to make it more fun and more user friendly.
Thanks for the feedback
