Loved the scenario. The combats and the punitive death are less fun to me but it is not my game genre so it makes sense. Would have love to have some checkpoints, yes. And maybe have a less distracting/contrasted background for the combats so you can clearly identify the dangerous projectiles, it was a bit hard to see them with the moving stars.
But interesting to mix a shoot em up with a dialog scenario system like this ! good job
