### 3/5 — Just ok

*2017-02-18*

I've been playing this since launch (about a week)....

Graphics:
The graphics are great. The background design is nice and not distracting, but it severely lacks variety.

Weapons system:
The upgrade system is nice and simple, but it needs better balancing. I upgraded the main blaster and missiles exclusively and ignored all upgrades for the beam and satellite, and found that I was an overpowered flying death machine. While that can be fun, the repetition of the levels made the game drag. Having a reason to upgrade the beam and satellite would greatly benefit the gameplay. If perhaps specific enemy ships required specific weapons (i.e. The beam and satellite) then there would be a much needed incentive to upgrade those weapons. 

Controls: 
Perfect, spot on. Don't change a thing. 

Overall:
A great start, but it needs updates to keep players engaged.
