It feels like there's something interesting here. If the controls were better and the AI was smarter (so it felt like you were constantly losing control of control points) I think this could be really fun. I'm not a fan of so many games interpreting the jam's theme to mean making controlling things harder, because I feel like we end up with a lot of games that are really interesting and unique, but just not super fun to play.
One thing that could make this game better while still keeping the same feeling is making it so that when I accelerate by tapping a key, it doesn't automatically accelerate to ~30. Maybe there were other engine modes, but I couldn't figure out how those worked. If the acceleration were more controllable, it would still feel a bit out of control, but it would feel like the lack of gravity of space, rather than just unresponsive controls.
