I chose to make this project as I am extremely passionate about coding, game development and space and this projects covers all three of those unique and interesting fields. This project also has a very wide potential for additional features and game mechanics.

A difficulty that I faced was scoping the project properly and resisting the urge to add everything that came to my mind whether I could realistically accomplish it in the time frame given or not . A major obstacle that I faced was the save file of the project corrupting causing a major setback.

I would have added more customisation options and a wider variety of enemies. I would have also added new and interesting kind of enemy projectiles such as a player tracking missile and a wave of multiple missiles.
