Gameplay Tips
===============
- Weapon ammunition is affected by fire sides. Using both sides it consumes more ammunitation.
- Ship rotation speed decreases as forward speed rises.
- Colliding with objects(ships,etc..) on fire, there is a high chance to spread fire to your ship as well!
- Collision deals plenty of damage so don't go on a rock hitting rampage!
Multiplayer Note
=================
Important note: The current game version uses the free Photon Cloud service for the multiplayer. The free limited cloud service only offers maximum 20 concurrent connections which mean that depending on the lobby players you will have to wait in order to play. Since I am developing the game with 0 budget I cannot upgrade the service. If some money are gathered I could upgrade to the next cloud plan which includes 100 concurrent connections at the cost of $95.
I am also planning to implement a dedicated server system but this needs many changes on existing code so the game will use the cloud service for the time being.
Thanks for understanding.
