Thanks a lot for playing and sharing the feedback!
I agree about the font. Not the best for dialogues, but unfortunately, didn't have time to search for a better one.
Yeah, I did the controls tough on purpose to fit the theme. I've now uploaded a post jam version of the game where the difficulty is more balanced. The controls are still frustrating, but it takes more time to die there.
P.S.: Picking up the mast lets you accelerate faster, so it helps a lot with maneuvering. You will find it if you go to the South-West corner from the spawn point.
