Hmmm, I feel a lot of balancing need to be done, and it's too easy to escape to the shop. Work on it :)

Yeah, I have been :D The shop is the last thing that was added. I noticed its very easy to escape to. I am hoping a large galaxy map with dangerous/friendly area's will solve the hyperjump problem.

I'm not shure how the level system work, but it seems to be somewhat random what level you are in. The Ai player activates itself when you are in the shop. Opposite most games this one gets easyer when you progress because of the upgrades. And it's very hard to hit them with the plasma, maybe the opponents shouldn't move that tricky.

I am not sure how much time I will invest on this game. But a couple of additional enemy's are planned. The current difficulty method is just a variable that goes up and down and controls the output of ships. This based on time.

The node placement is random at this point. Every waves node progression ends at a node placed near the player, so a diving effect is created.
Having a more structured node placement system would allow more diverse looking movement.
