Love the graphics and especially the background. Its a bit hard to keep you ship under control, but it already plays very nice. I think "J" is a very uncommon key to shot, would like to change that.
Keep on!
Yeah, I think I'll change how the ship controls, but I'm gonna keep the IJKL for actions. Sure, it's not very common, but:
1. It's very simple to place your right hand onto IJKL.
2. Those keys are easy to press unlike something like space.
3. If the players don't like it, they can always remap the controls.
