I also took the theme of space but its very bad and incomplete

The music is wonderful, however it seems to be clipping and distorting out.

cool vibe. great music. hit boxes were a little bit bigger than i would have liked, made the game very difficult.

The colliders feel a bit off and unfair and it would be nice if thrusters gave some kind of feedback like a sound or effects. Good job for first jam tho!

Very nice quaint little game, but the thruster fuel runs out a bit too quick! I like how u have to rotate and boost yourself. Music is great too :) very nice work

Really like the theme and the concept of a fuel based space runner.

I love the little face on the player and the msPaint style graphics. I really do get a kick out of quickly the hand drawn art in jam games.

I think the idea of resource consumption and refilling on the hydrogen pickups works well too.

a few things held it back for me. - It feels very punishing up front, one wrong move can kill you and you often just get trapped with no way out. - this is compounded by how rare the hydrogen spawns are and how little they refill.

Also the sliding friction (auto stopping of the player) feels odd in a game set in space.

Your game reminded me of some of the early space-themed flash games... which is nice :smile:

Have you considered making a mobile version in the future? I think touch controls would be a good fit for your game.

Good job!

@secret-magic-404 I didn't test on itch, but I did add touch controls that show up when the game is launched on mobile! :D

Its a nice game. Floating into the space dodging stuff. Its a little hard to play i was not able to get very far but the game is fun.
