ESF or Earth Space Federation have been under attack by a new alien race called the "Ranseen". This race of Aliens very rarely communicate with earth but when they do it always comes with an incoming fleet and their not friendly either. Normally this is after they have sent a large wave of asteroids to weaken your defences. So as commander of the ESF-Munimentum you must do whatever it takes to defend earth against the attack.

Will try to give as much feedback as possible.
Overall it's pretty nifty, I like the new artwork for the asteroids and explosions.
The firing feels a little slow for me, maybe it's just me, you could try changing it for a charged shot, that releases a wider projectile after it's held down that can destroy multiple enemies. then swap the normal shooting for a more instantaneous single shot that is faster.
You have a couple of collision things going on with the boulders, they will sometimes collide and bounce off the screen. With the way you have the turrets working they lock on and never stop firing at it, never really being able to kill it.
Try making it so they die upon leaving a region perhaps?
You could also have it so build mode is cancelled when you click.
Gotta run, will chat on FB if needed.

The main tower visibly prepares the shot and you expect it to come out of the front instead it comes out behind it O_o.
Since there is only one "playable" tower, how about putting it on top of the station? You could also reduce it to one hotkey as long as there is only one main tower, since if you enter build mode you disable turret and if you exit build mode you want turret to be online again.
Also please start with turret online.
That's it so far from me.
Cheers for the comment, I do know about the issues you have brought up, but due to my deadline with my university, I just wanted to make the game fairly playable before sorting out some cosmetic issues. My original idea was to have the turret at the centre of the station, hence the largish black area. I had issues when the station rotated that the turret would move off centre, so I just reverted to having it orbit the station. When the next version comes out, if do decide to continue with this project, I will have it so the Turret platform is within the centre. With regards to the controls, you are the first to bring it up, but i will take note of it. If you have any more issues please feel free to reply - Philkey

the game has some potential, but i don't like the delay of the fire for the turret, anyway he need some better upgrade and maybe an upgrade screen (with auto-pause)
Thanks for the feedback, as this is only my first attempt at making a game, i dont know what alot of people like to experiance. This being the Alpha version I wanted feedback, alot of people have brought up the turret issue with me in person and I will try to change how it fires within the next release. - Philkey

just noticed that you can deflect if the shot is timed right. But it showed an asteroid exploding after it hit the left side of the screen (wait for y to be < negative spritewidth before removing it) one i deflected to the right disappeared fine (making me think your checking the top left corner for cleanup). okay now i feel like i'm spamming, keep up the good work.
