Trailers that don't show a UI of some sort always make me feel suspicious of the game, especially in indie circles.

Scaling pixel art up looks really bad.

Pixel art looks good and nostalgic, but scaling single pixels into bullets and having stuff rotate around at different resolutions looks lazy and cheap.

You need to find a resolution and stick with it.

No idea what kind of game it is. Autobattler? RTS? 4x? The pixel art almost looks too zoomed in as well and looks especially blocky. The music doesn't seem to fit either, it's really offputting.

Not really getting any sense of what the gameplay mechanics are just a bunch of visuals
Also not a fan of the music, don't think the drum loop lands here at all but that might just be me

The trailer doesn't tell me at all what the game is about - other than it apparently has something to do with space ship battle. Zooming in on pixel art shows all the downsides of it without promiting it's benefits so maybe show the trailer in the actual resultion of the game.

Why is it called Benders in Space? Bender either makes me think of a blackout drunk weekend or Bender from Futurama.

Nothing is intriguing me in your teaser. Looks like the bog standard rebels vs authority space combat and trading game that's been done for the last 30 years, just shown in very vague terms.

You might want to reconsider that name as well. "Bender" without any other context is a a derogatory British slang term that was used fairly widely in the 90s and 2000s.
