Thanks for the feedback :) This game follows the roguelite convention of having limited runs and small progression between them. I understand the stat reset can be frustrating to you but I think it creates an interesting dynamic in terms of gameplay, rather than fully feeding into players motivated by pure power progression.
wait, how is the AI able to lie to you?
Only if the programmer designed it to lie. The “intelligence” in AI is based on mathematical intelligence. It only does what the “donor” of the intelligence wants it to do.
So. someone that made that ship, programmed the AI to lie to you...
The in-game tutorial takes no more than 5 minutes and is necessary to understand the basics of gameplay.
