Feedback on my game Starships

Feedback Needed!
My current big project has been a game I made called Starships, the core loop of the game is earning money to build spaceships and fighting other players and AI with those built ships.

Features:

  • Team creation, players can create and manage their own teams.
  • Territory system, teams can control sections of space by investing into their bases.
  • Enemy AI, not only can teams fight each other but there is also AI that spawns around the map periodically

Note: Mobile support is available but playing on PC is recommended

I specifically need feedback on the tutorials, how to make the game easier understand, how to improve the core loop, what I should add to get more player engagement, and anything else you can think of!

Thanks for your help!

I played both tutorials.

MINING:

  • Reading instructions is not very exciting. Suggest using GUI overlays that show where to click instead.

  • Walk to terminal stated in chat. Um, this is weird. Again, suggest using GUI overlay with Terminal ID.

  • Weasel was really hard to control. Suggest using the common Roblox setup for keys and have it move like a heli. Left/Right/Forward/Reverse = ADWS. Up/Down = QE. The tilt you have can show up automatically if you script it into the AD keys.

  • Bottom Small Mining Laster never worked. So, I clicked on Dock At Station.

— Dock At Station did not work well since I was not lined up with the door. I got stuck and had to cancel, then try again.

BATTLE:

  • After spawning ship I could not enter it. I had to teleport to the ship. Then I had to zoom out to see that I was inside the ship.

  • The tutorial got stuck on W and S. It would not acknowledge that I had press the keys and the buttons as requested.

  • Clicked on Dock At Station, then canceled. It allowed the tutorial to continue.

  • Got stuck on Activate Warp section.

I think it could be a fun game, but right now, the ships are too difficult to fly. The tutorial keeps getting stuck.

I appreciate your Feedback!

I will start working on fixing the bugs you’ve reported and improving the tutorial so its more engaging and easier to understand for new players.

I think you should work on the UI. It’s really plain and it takes up too much of the screen. For the tutorial, I would recommend make it easier to read. It’s a bit small for me to read. I would also make the docking faster.
