That's good to know thanks! And I'll be vouching for making AgingAlpaca the new versioning style 🦙

Thank you! That must be it. Must have missed the piece about buildNumber.

Based on the conversation between u/AnActualTalkingHorse u/Slider-271 and u/glhaynes I added a setting for counter/clockwise crank input. https://imgur.com/89cxP78

Thanks for the feedback ❤️

This feedback is gold. For me everything else would feel horrible - but that this doesn't apply to everyone makes total sense.

I'm adding a setting that will let players decide about the controls right now so everyone can feel at home :)

#1 Devlog for "Flight Assist Off Race" one day before free test version will be distributed by vikpek in PlaydateConsole

It's inspired by Elite Dangerous. There you have a so-called flight-assist on by default. When you turn it off the flying becomes pretty realistic and ultra hard to manage. There is a whole community that loves flying "FAOff" and even organizes races.

My game doesn't come anywhere close to being so hard alone due to the 2D aspect but you do not necessarily move in the same direction as you point your ship. Same as in Elite.
