  • Addictive, fun yet simple and classic
  • Nice work, I had fun playing this one. I think the game could benefit from more personalized graphics instead of being faithful to the original.

Nice work! I think this is the game that challenged me the most this jam because how hard it is, I played it many times trying to beat my own score.

I remember playing the original! Nice game. It definitely reminded me of the atari version. Possibly there's a bit more flying through tight gaps than the original. I won't post my score because AleisterCodely has already posted a much better one and I'd be embarrassed :)

Fun, but super hard. I swear the hitboxes are unfair!
Obstacles vs Fuel pads could be clearer, spent my first 2 playthroughs wondering why I was running out of fuel and how to get more (I just shot everything on sight).
