The addition and implementation of the tutorial screen is amazing. I love how it oozes personality and isn't monotonous "do this, do that". The only small nitpick on that is that there is a small spelling error on one of the tips in the HUD section 'Youre -> your'.
Well done on the tutorial! It explains everything you need to know without being overly descriptive!
The tips on the loading screen are great, but it ends too quickly to read it all and currently you only see the loading screen once. If the game gets bigger and loading screens become more prominent then it will definitely be useful though so I like the addition.
Another quality of life thing, If I'm not being too nitpicky, A "Shoot the asteroid to start" popup would be great. I'm imagining someone starting up the game and waiting for enemies to pop-up only to be like "oh silly me I'm supposed to shoot the asteroid to start the game XD"
The new visuals are absolutely stunning! The moving background as well as the addition of asteroids make the game look a lot more dynamic/lively! One little note on that though is that there is a small bug with the background. You can sometimes see when the background loops as there is a black border/seam that appears before it does.
The difficulty scaling is great! It feels challenging but not impossible! I've died and restarted quite a few times! There aren't any issues with powerups or collisions or anything this time around either and everything feels very well balanced. My deaths were completely due to my own mistakes and I love it. Ran out of ammo? sucks to suck bud, thats your fault lol. XD
The new rocket enemy is anxiety inducing and I love how it keeps me on my toes. Had a lot of fun guiding its missiles into other enemies as well. only problem is that it doesn't collide with asteroids.
Smol bugs:
-Quit to main menu doesn't work
-Enemy got stuck on an asteroid until it got reset (Colission issue)
-Enemy got stuck on right side of screen until reset (I'm guessing it spawned inside the invisible wall.)
Aaaand thats about it! I am really impressed by all the progress made and I had a lot of fun with the game! Keep it up! Good job, dude!
