Hey, I think it's actually the first time I try out your game x)
The presentation is great! the little introduction, the menus, the tutorials, I don't even have to look at the game page but I already understand everything I need to!
the graphics are really good, and the screenshake and particle effects are a nice touch that makes combat feels impactful.
I'm mixed with the audio though, the sound you chose are great (and the musics as well!), but often the sounds were delayed or not played at all. But I think it's just a bug so don't worry too much.
As for the gameplay, I think it's quite hard, I don't usually play those type of games, but I still couldn't beat the game after playing thrice.
I noticed the ally ships always miss moving targets, so they actually start damaging enemy ships only when they stop moving.
Also, like Chris mentionned below, they often attack civilian ship in priority, and I think their suggestion of using ship placement to protect them is great.
Other than that, it's a solid entry, a shame I won't be able to enter the leaderboard ๐๐ซ
