Interesting game, definitely fits the Jam's theme, and has some pretty good art as well. It could definitely be improved by letting the player turn faster when at lower speeds (better handling), and some reason to avoid hitting the walls (i.e. damage on collision). Better AI is obvious, but it sounds like that's on the plan anyway.

Very good adherance to the theme! I like the game but I feel the fuel lasted to short and I had a hard time seeing wich resource was which. Other than that, nice game! :)
Nice effort! There's a lot you could add here potentially! I'd recommend revisiting the character's turn rate - you could perhaps make the turn speed dependent on the speed, instead of making it quite slow all the time. That could help improving game feel.

Completed my race (on the 4th try) at 135.96. Fun game, with smooth controls and cute graphics. I had a little trouble understanding how the thrust worked, because I didn't realize there was a top speed I could hit, so I just ran out of fuel the first three games. On the one I won, one enemy ship blew up (good that they follow the same rules), and the other just got stuck on a wall, which seemed more like a glitch. Nice work - impressive for a short timeline.
You have Audio as a rating category, but I didn't hear any sound while playing.

It's interesting game with nice graphic. But the spaceship turns too slow for this track.

Fun little game. I liked it. I had issue with fuel, maybe you should tweak it a little bit. Some sound would have made it feel more finished. Even just for BG music. Overall good entry!

Simple and entertaining !!!
It's so hard to handle, I kept running out of fuel because I missed it in the first area you can grab it, good concept though, definitely a good start!
Nice game, it is fun racing against AI which explodes later, too :) Overall, of course it lacks some details, as most jam games naturally do, but the game turns out to be fun, and, hopefully, all the post-jam ideas get implemented, too so that it gets to the full potential!
Short and sweet! I like when your ship runs out of fuel or breaks it all breaks into little pieces! The AI did seem to have trouble finishing the course. Cool idea!
Interesting game. I found the game camera a bit weird at the beginning but I managed to get used to it after a while. Good job and congrats! Nice to see Godot users around LD49!
Having an issue on Mac. It keeps telling me I don't have enough permission to play, is the App working?

THE RACE IS FINISHED! I think the ships have too much friction, maybe they should have more inertia in space. I like fragments of broken parts and that they stay until the end of the race+nice details of the animation on the ship. In the background there might be some huge wrecked space station with debris flying around. I like your post-jam features, good luck on this! :rocket:
Fun and easy to play :m:

Very fun game! It lacks sound design and the AI needs to be improved but the gameplay is pretty good, it was really pleasant to play ^^ Well done!
