Had much more fun than I expected from seeing the .webms. Got to 60k, level 18 on normal. Not getting damaged immediately on collision, but instead risking getting stuck is very refreshing. Automatic upgrades are cool, music is alright. Was very easy to get into. Pressing Space shows that you're going turbo very well. The gear system is interesting but I never seemed to bother using 1 and 2. A potential improvement could be dropping the mouse controls, since being precise doesn't matter much. Also being able to toggle shooting would be nice too.

Yeah, gears 1 and 2 are more an adventure mode thing, since eventually enemies will detect you based on your ship's thruster output. Automatic upgrades are going to go once I get the shop in. There actually is an option to disable the mouse controls and use the arrow keys to move, just not ingame atm. It emulates controller support, and that's not fully tested. As for shoot toggling, I'm not sure that's a great idea, but I'll consider it. Thanks for your feedback!
