I really like this game! I've seen a few games similar to the space ship shooters but this one stands above them with its "control as resource" mechanic! I really like that. It forces you to plan ahead -- "should I accelerate or let my inertia take me over there", "should I shoot or wait for something to approach me," etc. I feel like these games are easy to be bullet-hells impossible to think a few steps ahead, but this one gives you a reason to think about it first!
Good game, I liked having to save energy and the difficulty to stabilize it, it really gives the impression of being in space! Just a shame that the information takes up too much space on the screen ;)
Cool entry, I like the Control as fuel take! I did find that trying to get fuel usually took just as much fuel to use in some case, I would shoot a asteroid then have to burn fuel to stop all my momentum, if I flew past it I would use fuel to turn and the burn more fuel to accelerate. This resulted in a fun choice of "Is that fuel worth going back for? Am I too late to make it worth". I had fun with this one!
Its interesting that the controls are a resource in itself. Best of luck in the GMTK game jam!
