Great job on Burning Tides! The visuals and menu polish look incredible. The space mechanics and controls have a ton of potential, though the tutorial can feel a bit unforgiving if you hit the wrong hotkey (like switching to turret mode mid-flight). A little extra UI guidance during the tutorial would be cool lol. Really cool project! This should def be going on steam after a little more tweaks

Im still stuck in the tutorial and tell you my mistakes/experiences so far (will try again tomorrow):

First, I thrusted before I read the text => flew past the arrow. Then: reading the text, I did not know how to scroll down / next, aha, Cursor down works. (But: Cursor right to skip does not work!?)

Then: I rolled and got the arrow upwards, nice.

I accidentally hit CTRL and switched from/to turret mode and could not steer - yeah, of course not, but I did not know why. I did not remark me typing CTRL and what it did. Maybe explain or switch it off at that tutorial part? 

Further followed the tutorial, until I had to fly (backwards?) to the arrow. I did not manage this, yet. I reached the yellow square but not backwards, so that's probably my fault here. The tut text is gone and on the left is says nothing about backwards any more.

It is difficult to do a good tutorial here, I can imagine, but it's also difficult to play it as a noob. Maybe, you must help us by deactivating controls or ... somehow... ;-)  I'm played KSP in the past, but that's long ago. And Elite, too, which is even much longer ago... I guess for "normal" players this 6-dim-moving including planetary gravitation and thrusts is reeeaaally a big challenge. I generally like it, but the tutorial seems like it could be hard - maybe even harder than the normal game? Not criticism here, please, just thinking aloud about my experiences and feelings!

The graphics and menus are beautiful and awesome. The game looks as if being already a 20€ Steam game! I hope my feedback helps and not demotivates in any way. Please give some hints on the above mentioned tutorial part.
