FAQ (Gameplay related):

Q: I can't hit the enemy despite hitting dead-on on the red target reticle circle!

A: Yes I'm aware of this. Ships can dodge, accelerate and turn just like you can. You have the option of using missiles or beam weapons which won't miss. You can also get close to the enemies to increase your chances of hitting. Please let me know still if you feel this is unfun.

Q: What's the deal with the weapons that have a green circle on the hotbar?

A: Those are automatic weapons that can be assigned to a ship and be fired autonomously until the target dies. Hover over an enemy and click the respective key on them (1-5).

Q: I don't like having to switch weapons constantly. Anyway around that?

A: Yes, you can turn on the Auto-switch ability in the Hangar. Note that this will only activate whenever you fire a gun.

Q: What is this G ability?

A: I forgot to remove this haha :) it doesn't do anything

Q: What are all the stats on the hangar screen for?

A: They aren't really important, you can mostly ignore them. If you're curious you can hover over the mouse on the names to see what they are for.

Known bugs:

- Flux when fired for the first time will have its sound glitched out for a bit.

- Restarting after dying may not spawn the selected amount of enemies

- Vertix does self damage (whoops!)

- Turbogravitron has an incorrect lead reticle

- You can charge an assigned automatic weapon twice as fast by selecting an enemy and holding fire button
