Thank you so much for taking the time to play and leave such thoughtful feedback. I’m sorry the focus and pause issues stopped you from getting far enough to properly try the game, but your explanation was incredibly helpful. I’ll work on making the game easier to start, fixing the pause screen and overlapping text, and adding clear English instructions for all the controls. Your point that some players may assume the game is broken and leave is especially important, so I’ll make these improvements a priority.
I’m also really glad you liked the title screen, enemy score table, formation, and sprite work. That was very encouraging to hear. I’ll let you know here once I’ve updated the game, and I’d be very grateful if you feel like trying it again. Thank you again!
