very cool, kind of looks Kentucky-Fried

This video would have sold me at the regular price. I have not booted up Steam in a while but will be playing with this tonight.

You are speaking my language. It looks great but can you zoom out to see your ship? Obviously l
seeing the ship is a plus but also helps with parking and obsticle avoidance.

Good space ship controls and UI are deceptivly hard to implement. I have two simular modes in my project as well. I think of one as the dogfighting mode and the other as the coasting / working mode

It looks like it happens when your character gets above the other sprite. maybe check out any code you have for sprite sorting based on height.

makes me wander if you can weaponize them...

What are the enemies? Tires and watermelons?

Big version is noticably better.

As an alternative, show them the dog interactions in Breath of the Wild. Those were a big draw.

I am a bit of an animal lover, especial for dogs and cats. It always sucks when you realize that the first several levels of an rpg are going to require you to slaughter a bunch of dogs. Its especially bad when the devs bother to add very good wimper and hurt sfx. Maybe add a toggle for Good-Boys

I always fudge the numbers of my code to be factors of 2. why 10 when you can 16? why 30 when you can 32? I know the same feeling, maybe its a programmer thing.

Thx for providing larger sizes.

You could make the movement slippery whan changing directions or stopping.

For this idea they are not story quests so they are not in a chain of any particular order. I guess the issue is I want time preasures but not fomo
