Thoughts as I play.
- The tutorial is alright. I don't like being railroaded like this, I want to move around right away, but I understand why you did it this way.
- It feels weird to tilt by moving the mouse left and right. That might just be my inexperience with plane simulators showing, but my initial reaction was confusion. It feels like the A/D controls fight with the mouse left/right controls, like the controls are trying to both be a sim *and* arcadey.
- Wow, it really is quite difficult to handle this thing. Shooting the static targets in the tutorial felt super clunky. I assume this is still an issue on my part, but still, it's a data point.
- Man, combat is hard. I died twice just flailing everywhere, but I got some kills doing flybys.
- I think I figured out why the rolling controls feel so weird: the camera doesn't follow your rotation.
I stopped playing without beating the combat, I wasn't having a good time. The game seems competently made, I just got frustrated.
