I downloaded it a few months ago.
It runs too slowly on my computer to be very enjoyable, but still fun.

OH GOD IT'S JUST LIKE WHEN I DOWNLOADED DWARF FORTRESS!!! WHAT AM I DOING!?!?! HOW DO I GIVE ORDERS?!?!?! OH GOD WHAT IS THAT?!?!?!

I hope I get as much fun out of this as I get out of DF. I'm having the exact same reaction.

There should be a tutorial somewhere.
I think it's under the story missions.

Meh, it only runs really slow for me if I spawn a few thousand asteroids(I like to think of it as a planet exploding), along with ships designed to survive the impact of a few thousand asteroids.

Honsestly, I didn't know the screen could shake that hard.

It goes slow for me when I load up a ship I created called the Harisenbon.
For those of you familiar with Final Fantasy, harisenbon is the Cactuar's infamous '1000 needles' attack.
As the name suggests, it shoots a volley of 1000 micro missiles that do 1 damage each.

This looks like a fun game (and that tutorial made me laugh multiple times). However, two questions before I dive in.
1. Where is the download? I don't see any links or anything on the linked page.
2. Is it possible to change the resolution? I saw it was 1024x768. I can't play if that can't be changed.

*leans into the thread*

I still play this thing. I still know how to work the shipmaker. In fact lately I made a quad shockbeamer with triggers.

I didn't try to hard to go pretty with this, just went with stock weapons, sections, and colors. I just wanted to prove I could make quad weapon systems.

Huh, looking around the forums and site, it doesn't look like it's been updated in a year. Surely it's not dead, but still, after all this time, I figured they'd have done something to update it.

Apparantly there was an update, but the developer never released it. Personally I don't doubt it was because of the community in his forums.
