The immersion is crazy, I love how vibrant the text is - really gives the feel of 1980s si-fi, I did find the gameplay loop to be challenging and quite hard to get into, personally I would have preferred if the first few opponents were a bit easier so i didn't keep dying on the second stage, but I don't really play this type of game so that could be a genre thing. Needing to type commands is a nice touch, again adding to the immersion of this being a space mission. Here is my video play and review

Thanks for the review and the rating (and the video is nicetoo!)
Someone else mentioned the difficulty in getting through the first few fights, and I think its down to my lack of time to balance it out...I think I'll add some more basic / easier enemy types for the first star system and then create separate bosses (did not have time to get to that either!)
