Hi there, great work on getting a game out for the jam. The core concept of the game is kind of cool, it's reminiscent of the old moon-lander type games where moving consumes fuel.
To improve the game, you could:
- Add a scoring system.
- The UI takes up too much screen estate. You could indicate the shield level with graphics around the space ship and remove the shield UI all together. You could do something similar with the stability as well. Then you can remove the UI all together and the game will be more immersive.
- When 'Out of control', you could still give the player some control so they don't feel like they are watching the game helplessly.
