Liked the simple mechanic and how you set everything up, I thought the mechanics and controls were clean and the game was fun to play. Not sure if I missed it but wish there was a way to reverse the ship otherwise it may be possible to get stuck, which might have happened to me immediately so I just tried it again and tried to avoid it. On the other hand, maybe ships have trouble going backwards, so maybe you did that on purpose for it to be more realistic to the setting or something like that. Anyway, I think you did a great job on it!

Thanks a lot for playing and leaving feedback.
Yeah, I agree that's a little bit clumsy. Actually, it's probably possible to always get out of being stuck, you just need a velocity bigger than zero to steer the ship which can be accomplished even when stuck but when you don't know this, it's not very intuitive.
I should have implemented at least a very slow backward movement. Well, next time :-)
