This is a great game. I especially love that it teaches you the game, by playing the game. Please add more levels. Also, I admit I don't know how to do this, but I'd love to see a player-created level version. More more more.
Developer: We have little red circles with numbers on a lot of icons. That's great. I look out for those. However, could we please have a little circle with a number on the inventory icon? It's a lot of wasted time going, "Is my inventory close to being full? I'll have to check."
Finally, a game that won't let you grind. Good choice! Love the series. One comment: would love for the maps to be much bigger, let you move around more.
Okay, in all seriousness, I love the spirit of this game, I will play this game, I will play v2, but it needs tweaking. 1. The critical hit rule is not good. I lost three ships in one battle to crits. 2. I would respectfully recommend an "action points" feature in battles. Even now, I'm not sure exactly what my options are. Firing while moving would be very useful, and ramp up strategy. 3. Ranges are too consistent. If these ships were real, ranges would all be different. Having a very long gun can increase options for strategy. Right now, "Charge!" is the only one. 4. The different speeds of ships is nice, but the faster ships are not harder to hit, so they don't do much in combat (even though they can avoid combat easier). 5. Ranges work diagonally? 6. Boarding needs to be optional at range of one. 7. Boarding needs a Retreat feature. It does not always have to work... 8. I really want more and bigger maps and more opponents. Great great beginning - please keep going.
That's next on the updates list ;)
