Hi there Steril707,
I don't comment very often nowadays but I have to say I enjoyed your game although I haven't getting very far as I am too sluggish in my responses (not the game it's me). I would probably be better using a joystick though, sorry to hear you have had a couple of bad comments on YT but I have enjoyed playing the game so far and as long as you enjoyed making it and sharing it, that is what really matters.
There is NO way I could do what you have and produce a working game and there are a great many of folk just like me. Be proud of your achievement and don't let anyone make you feel bad and remember that we can all be critics about a lot things but it doesn't mean we could actually do what we criticise.
All the very best and keep programming
