Ok, I already love this game but I also already see a major issue. This whole "keep mouse clicked to place pieces" thing is not going to fly. While it's definitely better than the other way around, maybe a better way would be to use the space bar to rotate and just click to place.
@Risumm: It's my thinking that a better sail would make you go faster and/or more maneuverable, a better cannon would make you better offensively, and a better hull would make you stronger defensively.
Some control issues. I'd definitely like to be able to see the strength of the ship coming at you offscreen. But a good game with a lot of potential. I definitely agree with all the suggestions by EPR89.
Ok, seriously. I was actually excited when I saw this game. Now I'm angry. I'm so tired of this. People, fix your freaking games before you load them. For every great game on this site, there's 10 pieces of absolute crap. Can we get some quality control in here?
The only frustrating thing is that as you buy and equip better pieces, the cost of your robots inevitably goes up. It gets to the point where your scrap total just doesn't climb fast enough and you're overwhelmed pretty quickly.
