Meh... Most of the feedback I've gotten is saying the turn rate is very slow, along with multiple other complaints...

First of all: I like the basic concept of the game. Flying a spaceship and commanding a squad of Wingman reminds me of one of my favourite novels, which is "Ender's Game".

But I think there is lots of stuff that can be improved. Most important, after playing for awhile I get a blank white screen with a single big spaceship in it that can not be shot down. And when I reach that point, the controlling doesn't work the way it should either. Accelarating is still possible, but it's impossible to brake your spaceship.

Second (and also important): I can solve the first few levels within seconds and it seems it is impossible to fail. You just have to fire at the big ship and it will explode after a while. No need to be careful. it seems you never get harmed.

And last negative point: The game is really very slow. It doesn't play like a fast paced space action game, but more like a game in slow motion.

So after all: I think you are on the right way with your concept. But there's still lots of work with the technical side. But don't let your head hang down. I think there was a lot of improvement compared to your first game you presented here and I'm quite sure you will learn more and more with every game you create...
