Some criticism on the exploding ship: Considering it'll probably be flying forward while this happens the explosion should not go straight up but either more left or right depending on the type of explosion since the ship is moving.

It looked weird when I made it like that.

I gave pixel art a go a while back but it's very fiddly and i lack the patience.

Love your stuff. I wanna play the game when it's done :D
