Stellar Interface

Ironically, this game has a pretty bad interface. False advertising: Has no volume controls, despite volume controls being listed as an accessibility feature on the store page. A roguelite sidescrolling shooter. As far as I know this is the only one of those. I like sidescrollers (& roguelites) & it's nice to have a new take on the formula. It would be nice if the game actually told you what the upgrades do rather than forcing you to guess with cryptic riddles. I suppose after a while you just memorise them, & have to play around with them to learn what they do. I think I would prefer just being told though. The addition of v-sync would be appreciated; there is some screen tearing when scrolling through the 'software' upgrades when starting a run, & when moving around the map. Another thing I would like is if the ship just auto-fired. I think the dev should look at 'Boneraiser Minions'; It has this really nice feature that allows you to adjust the opacity of friendly & enemy sprites & projectiles, & also the player sprite, & give them differently coloured outlines. This makes it way easier to see what you need to dodge & what you don't, & is rather necessary in a game when there is so much stuff flying around the screen; I keep finding myself trying to dodge the projectiles of my friendly drones, which in some cases look identical to enemy projectiles. This game is a cool idea that really needed a lot more time in the oven, & with no updates for over a year, that doesn't seem very likely to change.
