The boxes falling off the tilting ship was kind of frustrating for me because its super hard to aim precisely.
Very fun game overall!
Le ralenti quand on s'approche dex boties est très agréable et c'est juste fun à contrôler !(Même si j'ai envoyé plein de boites rouges direct dans mon vaisseau haha)
Une seule touche pour tout faire en plus, franchement niquel, gg mec
One thing I think could work well here is to give the player a bit more targeting control. Right now, targeting is highly dependent on your movement direction, distance to the center of the box and movement speed. The speed alone makes it difficult to target quickly enough, but the turning rate also changes based on your distance from the center of the box, which sometimes makes it way too difficult. Most of the time I've abandoned even attempting to get a box near my ship, just using it as a bounce-off point to get to the next one.
The exploding boxes were a nice idea. First time I just thought it was a different kind of box, maybe worth more points, so I managed to place it right in the center of a nice pile of 10 basic boxes. When it exploded and I realized what I've done I was both angry and impressed. :P Maybe they could also be used in a different way - if they exploded a couple of seconds after being hit by the player, they could use it to shoot down whole groups of boxes in a vaguely uniform direction.
Overall, it's a really good entry. Good mechanics, nice audio-visual feedback and fun gameplay.
