Cool game! I included it in my Movie Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out! :)

Awesome awesome visuals. It was fun to play. The controls were not so good, but the whole game covers that up. 

Keep on jamming!

Very cool game (I'm a sucker for procedural generation!) :D
The graphics are damn good and the music is banging.
The controls took a little getting used to, but not too much.
Ended up getting quite tense after a while (managed 14km)
Congrats and good luck! :D

Love the gameplay, music, and scene. I had a lot of fun playing it once I realized that A and D are pitch/yaw. My score was 3.89 I am pretty sure I can do a lot better but I have 100 other games to record. It's a fantastic entry. I wish mouse 2 had an EMP or total screen death ability I could use once per play. I think that would add a little forgivness.

Really impressive graphics, with great effects. Impossible to play a lot because of the WASD keys (why don't you add arrows keys too ? On an azerty keyboard, WASD are a pure nightmare), but in few seconds it's easy to see the great potential of your project. Frustrating to not be able to play correctly, but your game obviously deserves a good rate.

Sorry for the  control problems, unfortunately I forgot to think about other keyboard layouts. It is a lesson and I'll consider in my future jams. Thanks for the heads up!

Love the music and the "chugga chugga" sound of the machine gun. Some pretty nice visual effects as well like the ship exploding (which I saw a lot of). Plays well although the controls were a little tricky at first. I think where it turns quite slowly it was hard to tell if the button was having any effect. Got stuck in a couple of the corners as well and couldn't free myself. Overall though, good fun game and nice representation of the movie.
