The game is incomplete. I had half of what I had planned done with only four hours left, so I only added some polish.
IF YOU CAN'T FIND THE PLANET
-Don't give up.
-You can figure out how fast you're moving with the stars. If the stars are moving, you're going really, really fast and you're going to whiz by the planet.
-If you come to a complete stop, the planet will suck you in.
I know there's not much to it, but I hope you have fun anyway.

* Some kind of pointer to the planet. Space is rather big ;)
* Distant objects in the starfield (like a tiny galaxy or nebula). Because the stars move so quick, there's no frame of reference to figure out where you are. Something in the background that scrolls much slower would be a big help to finding that planet.
* Retro rockets - Flying up to the planet and then whizzing by because you took too long to turn is a little frustrating.
Also, even when you're not firing the engines, the direction you're pointing affects your speed. Not sure if that's deliberate or not.
It's an interesting concept though and I hope you'll get a chance to add the things you wanted :)
