Very nice visuals, the music is as stressful as intended, you really feel like escaping the ultimate destruction.

The only thing I didn't really like is that the pod can spin, making controlling it consistenty difficult. Once I was heading for a wall I didn't have the time to figure out which thruster corresponds to which key to not die. This could either be solved by making the pod unable to spin or by labelling the thrusters with the corresponding keys so you can react faster.

Wrestling to control the pod by juggling the thrusters was tons of fun and lead to a lot of cool (accidental) maneuvering! The graphics are very nice and clear and the music was fitting too.

That was very cool! Nice shiny graphics, intense music and gradually escalating difficulty. Didn't get past 2700m :( Once got a bug (?) where a rock hit me but I didn't die.

@iorena we also encountered that bug but considered it to be a feature instead :)) happens when there's not enough contact for the engine to recognize so it makes for a special skill you can execute: like you can decelerate enough so that you won't die when you hit the wall
