Hi Ben, thank you for the thoughtful suggestions. That's a really good idea and we thought of something similar as well but only after we had submitted and realized the game was too info-heavy too early for new players. The idea of adding in crew members and upgrades slowly over time is a really good idea and would solve a lot of the issues the game unfortunately has right now with being impenetrable for newer players.
Glad you liked the icons and the sound! This was my first time doing 2d art and music for a game (I'm a software engineer by trade) so I was quite nervous about those haha. We are definitely going to continue working on the game and we even have a VR port planned for the future. Thanks for playing!
