### 3/5 — COULD BE GREAT

*2025-03-10*

There are only two things holding AsteRAEds back from being a great game. 1. There is NO SOUND. 2. There are NO OPTIONS to adjust your ships spin sensitivity. The joystick tends to over or under spin all on its own, making gameplay unnecessarily difficult. 

DEVS: I’ll be happy to upgrade my score as you upgrade your game.

**Developer response:** Thank you, this is a learning curve in coding so please bear with me.   I’ll look into the issues you mentioned.  In particular the rotation of the ship.

But the game does have sound, hard to double check there as you had me second guessing myself

Thanks again

Nany thanks
