+ Key Rebinding
+ Screen shake options
+ Autofire toggle
+ UI nice and readable. Font bold and large
- Enemies are difficult to see and impossible to hear. This causes frustration for visually impaired players
* Main menu selection needs a more distinct color
* Mouse pointer options would be nice
* Needs many audio cues. Different ground types (minerals, dirt, rock, indestructible etc.) enemies, fuel, treasure chest, etc.

This game COULD be blind playable if it had screen reader support, offered stereo audio/haptic feedback and had a ton of sound cues. Something to consider for the devs if they have time or interest. I can turn them on to a BUNCH of blind people who would love this kind of game.

As it is, though, the blindsiding of enemies really threw me off personally. Not being able to see or hear them coming was a major sticking point and greatly diminished my personal enjoyment of the game.
