Panda-Go by Fwazle
Welcome to Panda-Go Pizza! How can we help you? Space travel is not as easy as it looks. Can you help our delivery pandas reach all of the planets before running out of power?
EDIT!!!: The game has been updated after the deadline to fix 2 issues: *Random crash caused by ram limitations *Game doesn't run on Mac or Linux
The game should now not crash and works on Windows, Mac, and Linux (Linux is untested)
The un-fixed game is still playable on: http://fwazle.com/Pandago/Panda-Go.jar
And the un-fixed source is still accessible on: http://fwazle.com/Pandago/LD39.zip

I like the cute theme you have going, unfortunately even on my 1080 display, the panda logo on the ship was hard to see in game. The random placement of the various customers can vary the difficulty a great deal. So having this as an 'endless' mode might be an idea. Maybe look into 'seeding' your random class so you'll still have infinite levels but with fixed placement in each of those levels. Good luck on your next adventure!
Likes:
- neat idea with some fun game play moments happening
- Java is way underrepresented and needs love :heart:
Try differently:
- some customers are disproportionately challenging to reach
Overall:
- very cute game, pandas for the win!
Just felt that the fuel goes away too fast, but still I managed to win :p
Congratulations :)
Can you provide more details on the "true story" that this game is based on. Enquiring minds want to know.

I tried
```
java -jar -Xmx1g .\Panda-Go.jar
```
but that just takes longer until the same exception occurs.
```
java -version
java version "1.8.0_144"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode)

I am on Windows 10
EDIT!
I uploaded a crash fix, See above for links!
:worried: there's no way to replenish power and attack.
Very enjoyable quick game.
Are enemies damaged when they fly through the fire of your rocket? If so, you should tell that to the player.
