The only problem to me was the tutorial to read, like this had wayy too much informations for my little brain haha
Anyway, a great entry !
On a side not, i'd recommend making the tutorials a bit more easy to follow, since there is so much information to take in at the beginning.
Otherwise the game is fun, I enjoyed playing it. Good job! :)
The trade values seem very random. I had 3 planets in a row with about the same prices for all resources. This made repairing and upgrading difficult.
Also, it is hard to dodge enemy fire.
Overal I enjoyed the game. Keep it up.
I like trading games where you buy resources low and sell high, but I felt the connection to the theme was weak here.
I wished you could move the spaceship with A/D because dodging is really hard. However the idea and translation into this game is pretty good IMO. Also the variety of the enemy was a good addition!
Keep it up!
Changes I would suggest:
Have some better dodging controls for the fighter.
Hold mouse to fire instead of clicking
Get a warning from what direction ships are attacking.
Add some other random events other than just getting attacked.
Overall nice work!
