Hello
Bought Exodus after following it for a while. Just tought I'd give feedback :
+ Small team on a limited budget that produces a game this polished? Great work! There's none of the typical issues of small releases (and even some big ones!) like control issues, camera irritation, or desktop crashes. It all runs well, fast and stable. Bravo.
+ I loved the graphics. I'm a space fan so those immediately drew me in.
+ Guns are powerful and sound like they pack a punch.
+ Good control options out of the box, mouse and gamepad. Very important for anything flight-related. Loved that all the controls just work.
- Ambiant sound effects sounded weaker than your own guns. There's little sense of tension when getting shot at, it doesn't feel dangerous, enemy explosions are flat, etc... The world around you doesn't sound very beefy.
- Repetitive. Didn't play the whole game yet but it was often the same thing. Just shoot down X amount of baddies. Maybe this changes in later missions?
- My biggest dissapointment : speed. Your ship moves so slowly! :( I feel like I'm just a floating turret slowly gliding through space rather than a a good pilot actively dogfighting. There is no sense of speed, flight or urgency. As a result, nothing feels threatening. I'm just drifting through emptiness, pointing and clicking at stuff until it explodes.
Hope I don't sound too harsh, I love the game and I hope it has a bright future.
