Space Protector

Yo wats up. I'm making my third mobile game with Godot and thought why not share my process with the community. This game has you the player (obviously) protect your planet from aliens and meteors. I have gotten most of the mechanics done at this point now i'm ready to start making it pretty. I'm tired of looking at those ugly debug white blobs. I want this game to be as professional quality as i can get. the last two of my games are not really pro quality so i want to challenge myself with that goal. At the moment the player controls the ship to around the planet but i will be taking that privilege away from the user because i think that makes the gameplay more interesting and it feels cumbersome to have to keep holding down the button in order circle around the planet.  I will also be adding little boss fights in order to spice things up but this won't be added at first release i think but who knows we'll see how much i get done by then. This is how horrendous it looks at the moment. <img alt="" src="http://s33.postimg.org/oesqvgi3v/ship_UI.jpg" height="139" width="180"> Ship UI <img alt="" src="http://s33.postimg.org/co1hs823v/Main_Menu.jpg" height="138" width="180">MainMenu <img alt="" src="http://s33.postimg.org/sb8tzowq3/Game.jpg" height="139" width="180">

A tiny bit of blur on your sprites, or maybe just turn on the "filter" flag would make it look a lot nicer I think, get rid of all those jaggy edges. And right now the menu button font is too small and light to read very well, especially with the thick white outlines of the buttons. The font is also kind of too condensed. It could be cool to keep reusing that sort of interlocking finger pattern. You could make the menus or buttons split apart and slide to the side or something.

Thanks for the input. I do have the filter checked for the sprite but i don't know what is causing those jagged edges to appear on the sprite.  The font i will change i don't really like it but don't know  what kind of font to make it fit with the art style. I'm thinking something cartoony since the art style is flat style of art. I'm not quite sure what you mean by splitting the buttons apart. Are you saying when they appear  and disappear to split from each other?
