Thanks for the feedback! I think while play-testing I got way to used to this game so I may have it dialed in to a super hard difficulty level. Maybe I should add a difficulty option which lowers the all the forces on easy to slow everything down? I don't know why but I wanted this game to be really hard haha - I will definitely dial it back a bit.

I've updated the game to include 3 difficulty levels which scale the ships mass, gravity and rocket force to slow the game down and give more control on easy and medium difficulty. The hard or "starbuck" mode is the same as the original. Also I quickly forced the fuel text to change to red at 20%. Thanks again for your input! If you get a change let me know if this is the balance you were advocating.
