I also feel the ship in the end cut scene is very unrepresentative of the amalgumous block of guns with rockets strapped to the back that I finished the game with.

A tip for later levels: space out your guns, it helps to compensate for a targeting system that will fire everything in a radius at one enemy, wasting firepower.

Overall a very nice game, I enjoyed it.
Although there's a some bug-fixing needed:
1. lasers dissapear if their target is lost
2. name for spaceportupgrades are switched
3. ore to star ratio abundancy is unproportional to price
4. Harvester drone path-finding is a bit buggy when returning
5. when building in the spaceport, you can place modules on "unbuildable" spots by first placing another module next to it and then removing it
6. By buying spaceport upgrades at the same time you can bypass the increasing price.
7. bosses overlap with big space ships
8. enemy fighters tend to stick to the bottom of the screen
This is not meant to be criticism, but rather constructive feedback,
Keep making games!

well, i'm stuck half-way through the final level, because i keep getting overwelmed by lots of normal enemies. i've got lots of weapons, but what i need are more regeneration modules, to keep my shields charged...and thre are NONE in the shop! how often does the shop get new stuff? once per GALAXY?

I got fatal error #2015 and then this happened: http://i.imgur.com/mRsAgdi.jpg
Also, there could be some kind of reward when you travel far beyond 3rd boss in every galaxy. Pretty grindy game, not much of a strategy needed. I imagine that this would be a perfect base for a bullet hell game.

Don't see why everyone has a problem with the missiles, i went through and finished the game using 50-50 missiles and lasers....

@beshpin > thanks to you too for wasting my time reading your comment.

Okay, here is some tips:
1: Later on you only need 2 "Level 3" fuel storage.
2: Place some weapons at the bottom of your ship (only a few)
3: Place cargo holds on the same row in a spread out manner (best ones on the edge)
4: The damage booster stacks
5: Guns reload faster than missiles.

Yeah, by the time I got to the last section of the game, I wasn't able to buy any more damage increase, regen, or shield items. Which was kind of brutal since I need those to get anywhere now. Oh well, thanks for wasting most of my evening.

Why rockets can't retarget themselves after their target was destroyed? It's not nice to have all rockets fired at an asteroid, which is blown up by the first of them, and them the main strike force appears.

Problem with last stage is you can't beat it until you grind for a while and wait for shop refreshes... Here's my strategy based on availability in shop. 12-13 shields. 7-8 weapon upgrades. 5 regens, 3 fuels, and the rest bullet guns... DO NOT use missile guns. May have to either lose one weapon upgrade and switch for bullet gun or vice versa but right around there is the sweet spot as enemies should be dying in 1-2 hits.

the ending is equally stunning to the gameplay itself :P Nah, it's a decent game but nothing more than that. perhaps with a lot of community engagement and a lot of work from the developer, you could eventually turn this into a really good game, but I guess it's going to get dropped after a few minor updates like Aurora back in the days.

For those of you who are having problems getting swarmed, here is a workaround. Assuming you have already done your resource run, you can make 1 half of your ship only weapons and few collectors, with the other half being regen,shields, and fuel tanks. At the start of the level go to the left or right edge of the screen so the only part of your ship seen is your weapon side. What way you limit the dmg you take and with enough regens you can be at full hp by the time you're at the boss. Just take into account that you wont be able to collect almost anything useful, so take some extra fuel tanks if needed.

figured out the last level, more guns is not a good thing, it took all 7 regen items, about 6-7 shields, and 8, yes... 8 of the weapon damage increase items. Seems silly to set it up that way, but oh well.

just pure chaos. i hated modifying my ship because all the parts were limited on the shop and i always tried not to beat the boss because if i do i can't come back to that galaxy!

I was about to rate it 5/5 since it was so fun !
But last level seems impossible, I got really bored trying again and again and not gaining an inch whatever ship build I try.
3/5 just because it was fun so far.

Enjoyed the game mostly, but I'd like to add a couple of suggestions;
Please allow returning to previous galaxies to upgrade the ship - due to not being able to afford a size upgrade at the start, the last level was a nightmare for a while since I was a full row down.
Secondly, having "consumable" pickups (repair and fuel) not use up space on the ship would be a big help. The final section of the last galaxy would be so much more straightforward if you could still collect fuel, after having to sacrifice space for shields/guns due to the reason in the first point I made.

I'm encouraged to fail so that I can get all the resources from doing the section again and again. Getting only half of what's left when I finish actually punishes me for having a good ship and being able to clear an area first time.

Can't win the game. I bought the wrong equipment and can't return to the shops of the conquered galaxies. Why don't the shops get new stuff?

Last map 3rd stage just go 8 damage amps for +200%dmg, 4-6 shield capacity tier III, 2 tier III fuel tanks (just enough to reach the boss), 4 regens and the rest just tier III laser turret thingies...
Stack ALL of the turrets on a single side and everything else on the other side then just move the "utility" side off-screen...
I know it's just exploiting but eff the last level!

There's no game play. There's barely any strategy needed. 90% of the game is simply buying the best gear you can and hitting play, and then waiting. Not fun at all.

The game plays on while I type this, and it doesn't need me anymore. click go and it just plays itself. it needs something, what, I don't know. Maybe a fast forward button? Maybe the ability to do something other than move an infernally slow brick around this minuscule screen?

no story line just a pure grinding game......2/5 sorry waste of time with all the bad things like not enough minerals.....upgrade just require you to basically pay each level again and again and getting fewer and fewer minerals for the shop to reset or to get enough minerals.....

Game becomes a pointless endeavor quickly; the movement becomes a non-issue as the ship becomes massive and there is no real incentive to move, and then its reduced to simply buying the upgrades.

Getting resource starved and indefinitely losing on the final boss is the worst defeat I have ever suffered in any game. Please make a way to catch back up when you sell your things in order to try a new build at the last boss.

I kind of get the feeling I'm not an important part of the game. It'll play itself without me if I let, and I'm not sure how much I have to do with success after I hit the launch button

FINALLY!!.. i found the way to beat the last lvl... just need to move the ship on a side of the screen.. so half of the enemies are passing by without firing at you

If there is nothing behind the last boss of galaxy (exept the one pont, where boss music and empty boss health bar appears), why is there the light?
