I agree it's not the clearest.

Gameplay was straightforward and fun. Needs some way to show that you run out of fuel though.

The controls feel nice and I think it uses the theme fairly well. I think it was fun but it became repetitive so I didn't fuel the ship to 15,000. Not sure if anything happens when you do. Maybe just more more enemies or some traps to avoid would add some variety.

Music is definately my weakness, I'm glad it was at least okay at first. :)\n\n@kodiqi There is just a quick end card when you fully fuel the ship. More enemies was the plan but that 48 hour time limit comes up quick.

It reminded me a lot of rogue-lands and it would have been nice to see some of the mechanics from that game used to add more challenge (for example an enemy type that persistently chases you while no-clipping with the terrain).
