Did this glitch happen for anyone else? I made a custom weapon with everything maxed out, the most expensive thing I could make, as a joke, of course, and when I clicked it, it disappeared. I tried dragging it to my ship, while "invisible", and it gave me the equivalent of it's cost.
I stopped playing after that.
I just tried what you described, and it worked. I think you accidentally deleted the original weapon by having "Delete a weapon" highlighted. Still, that is a serious bug.
Good thing I've already played the game entirely.
Oh hey, you're right, I did.
Let me just say that I've been playing this all last week when it came out and I really do love it. Sure it could use a little balancing and some UI art/qa polish, but it's so enjoyable I've actually played through the game three times. The pacing is very well done which makes everything feel achievable. If you can't beat a level, go back and grind a bit on easier levels and upgrade/buy better weapons.
First time: created balanced weapons as I learned the game(weak & slight homing paired with strong & no homing)
Second time: maxed out homing with very weak and high fire rate weapons (you can make this as a 1k weapon, needs some balance in my opinion).
Third time: as the game suggested, you could completely focus on defense and just ram your opponents. It's difficult, but it was enjoyable enough for me to play it a third time through. On this game I also discovered how fun it is to just have a ton of max'ed damage weapons pointed in all directions.
Overall, this shooter had me playing way more than the average shooter.
I couldn't truly play this well with my laptop touchpad, but I was able to run around in circles with a homemade homing weapon and fire randomly until everything was dead.
That said, I jump at the customizable weapons but got tired in the way that I ended up playing it.
I agree that it's a good basis, but I found it to be extremely buggy--the movement keys occasionally stopped working, and it sometimes wouldn't actually create weapons. Maybe I'm the only one this happened to; I don't know. But it was kind of frustrating.
