The rate at which the game matures is a matter of opinion. The necessity of smoothness of motion is a matter of opinion. (Although I do wish I had had a bit more time to polish motion....)

sk1tten: The controls are purposely a little difficult. The idea is to put a bit of a skill curve between will to act and ability to act. Games have been progressing in unfettering the player's will to act for a while, but it is more difficult to improve that through increasing skill than it is to get used to controls. I might agree, however, that the game could stand to be a *little* easier to control.

Everyone: This game was entered in Competition06 and it's past the deadline, so I can't update it. If you aren't involved in judging this, may I suggest you play instead the version here (v1.02), which has a couple of minor issues fixed from the contest version: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/422596/Mayflight%20v1.02.zip
