Was going to give it a decent score, but it makes no sense that with all the ore in the galaxy I can't buy a weapon or ship config to beat the last zone of the last level.

There needs to be more ore drops because you dont get nearly enough, and the swarm levels are nearly impossible, youre dead before you get to the boss...

The single biggest flaw of this game is that shots disappear when their target dies. This is a huge issue... not only does it make no sense, but it also means that at least half the shots your guns and missile launchers fire are completely wasted as they'll vanish en route. The action is sluggish, the graphics are too crammed together and claustrophobic and, as seismica says, upgrades are predetermined... there's no winning if you don't gear up right. Zoom things out a bit to provide a sense of space, speed up the hero ship to actually allow some maneuverability, and if you'd just fix the shots vanishing when their target dies, then upgrading wouldn't be so demanding and restrictive and the game would be more flexible. 1/5, it's just that poorly planned.

the game doesn't use iron ore. gears are pointless. also, why the hell doesn't the shop give me any more regens at the final levels? and I'm sick of the enemy swarms piling up on the back of the ship.

Tha game prided itself on random levels to that the game is different every time, but the limited availability of shop items means that I can't outfit the ship how I want. The difficulty of the bosses means that you also need the best modules in the shop, meaning that the equipment I have on my ship is essentially pre-determined. For instance, I can't buy any more medium guns or missiles, and the small guns are a waste of space on the ship. So I have to buy more armour to beat the 6th boss, because that is what the game wants me to do. It eliminates the whole point of customising/upgrading your ship. 2/5

THERE is an issue that when you click CONTINUE after coming back to game, it does not show GALAXY map which might be problematic.
GREAT GAME THOUGH, although graphics still could be improved.

pretty good game but you should have made the store have individual categories like shields, weapons, fuel tanks and you should of made it so you can upgrade each individual weapon, fuel tank and shield you have but these are all suggestions and it would be nice to see a second one with tweeks and upgrades to it

You should be able to prioritize what your claws and ships grab, so you can set it to prioritize ore over stars, etc.

this game would be pimp if it actually loaded. lol
Must be my combination of Chrome and the latest Flash maybe but I get no title screen, and no buttons, graphics etc.

The Drones should be still sent out when the storage is full so u dont run out of fuel by the time u get to BossFight.

Worst fuel computer ever, No warning for when it's almost out, nope, just says "Fuel is low" AFTER I start drifting into the cold harshness of space

Glitched text in the 'Trophies' section, corrupt weapons (shooter is stuck off the ship and cannot be moved) and saves, cannot resume saved game.

cant beat it, read that someone got 9 regenerators, ive only found 5 and i bought everyone, so its luck cause without regenerators the 3rd part of the last lvl is not possible

It felt like the speed vs. size thing was a bit underdeveloped. Also, you can get stuck if you try and stick to small ships, since you sell things for low value and the resources don't replenish.

Missiles have better DPS than bullets - in fact the 2 missile (3/11) is almost as good as 3 bullet (1/4). My final ship was: 3x Fuel 3, 2x amplifier, 9x regenerator, 8x triple shield, all triple missiles I could get and the rest half shot 3 / missile 2. No collectors! Spread weapons over all rows and columns to avoid losing to many shots (as some weapons will never see particular enemies). Win.

The last boss is WAY too easy. Basically, if u can reach him, u can kill him. I still had lots of upgrades to do when I 1st reached him and BOOM, GAME OVER! >.<

to beat the last level, put all your weapons on one side of your ship, and move all the way to the other side so only your weapons show on the screen. Less enemies will attack you

I hate how the extra shots from missiles and lasers disappear after an enemy is destroyed. It's like losing 50% of your damage potential.
Also if you're having a hard time getting through the enemies, move towards the left or right edge of the screen to avoid about 1/3 the enemies from attacking you.

reaching the last boss was pretty hard while killing it took only 2 secs...
less minions and harder bosses in the last 3 galaxies maybe
4/5, simple and fun.
and for those who dont know how to beat stage 3 of the last galaxy: no missiles. use all repair modules, 0-2collectors, 2x fuel , 6-8x dmg boost, 6-8 armor and loads of fastshooters (some at the back of your ship)

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?
