Hey!
Great job on your second game submission to itch.io, it's a great feat to have! The game had a fun concept but I thought it was a bit difficult with the one life mechanic. I wasn't sure what the theme implementation was, but maybe you were going for the "last life"? The aesthetics could use some work, especially the particle system that was a child of the game object (there's a setting you can do where the particles that are spawned don't follow the transforms position, it would make it look more natural :) I think adding some music and sounds would go a long way for your game! The (what felt like) physics based movement was neat because it didn't let me instantly turn around which added some strategy to the game. I didn't see any story mechanics implemented. Great job overall, with a bit more polish, This could be a neat space shooter/dodge bullets meteors infinite runner!

Thank you for giving really detailed feedback! The thinking was that if your rocket gets hit my a meteorite that's it, game over. But games don't always follow the real world exactly, so I'll keep in mind things can be done differently if it enhances gameplay. The particle system following needs some more work for sure, but it was fun to finally put particles in a game. Glad you liked the way the rocket moves, that's a big part of gameplay! :)
