Building the ship worked really well. I had a good time trying to figure out an optimal ship design. My main complaint was that I couldn't figure out how to restart the game after I'd lost except by closing and relaunching the application. This wasn't too bad once I got the hang of it, but for the first few attempts I was closing the game frequently. Some more indication of build\/fight mode on screen could also have helped, as a few times I was not in the right mode and was hit by asteroids even though my mouse was in the right place because I had forgotten which mode I was in.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"CiaranW","author_uid":"1059776","time":"2019-10-13T20:51:09Z","epoch":1570999869,"modified":1570999869,"text":"@aevek Thanks for playing and the in-depth review!
