Hello, thank you for your feedback. You mention the controls not being ideal so I was wondering what changes you would recommend to them. I am also unsure of what you mean by "upon a higher base," although I am well aware that it lacks quality graphics and sound design lol.
I would rather say to focus on getting the player controls more fluid and smooth. It should be responsive and intuitive. From the other statement I mean, if you try to polish this game on a larger scale like not only fixing all the errors but also focussing on the Game Design, Game Mechanics, Game Theory, and all the other stuff that are taken care of while making successful Indie Games, then surely, this game would reach the top spot.
