This game is amazing, I got up to the point where you get blinded, managed to regain control and come to a quick stop, but for some reason could never find the station again, I'm guessing the light in the middle of the hud is supposed to be an indicator you're facing the right direction but I tried basically every single one and couldn't find it, it felt at that point I was basically just relying on luck since I didn't have coordinates of where the station is at to reference. (though from where I was, and the way I was headed, I should have literally been right outside their front door as far as i could tell). I loved it and all I really could have used is a slightly less strict "hot/cold" indicator on the rotation in that last part.
I just spent like an hour writing a comprehensive review and I accidentally clicked something and went to a different page and lost everything I wrote D: so here's the quick version until I can rewrite everything properly again. :P
amazing all around, immersive experience. definitely not for everyone, requires a lot of patience
controls: you are all wrong, controls are perfect. Especially in the second part, the thrusters need to be subtle so the player can be precise. What's missing is visual feedback for controls
visual feedback (I talked about this in my stream so he knows what I mean haha)
-hud dude thrusters
-ballerina silhouette illusion hud guy rotation
-sun is blinding, but honestly why are you looking at the sun anyway, guy? that's how you lose your retinas
-pause menu control UI: 3 of them need to have the arrows flipped
I've said in a couple other entries that there's no reason to blind the player because it's usually unfair, but this is one of the exceptions. There's so much info available to the player, that they are never really blind. I think this is one of the few games that could ever pull this off so well
