Really cool game mechanic! I understand that the boss blocking the radar was part of the connection to the theme, but I was a bit disappointed I spent most of my time looking at a little box with letters rather than the rest of the game for almost my entire run. I also reached 80% fuel and didn't get anything? Other than that, very well done!

Thanks for playing our game!
The balance of looking at the radar and the main screen was something we tried to deal with better, but I admit it is one of the weaker aspects. The Boss calling in was always planned as a counter to that, but I know I still end up looking too much at the radar as well. Something to think on for future iterations!
Once you reach 80% fuel at the end, you're meant to reach the 'escape vector' (or in other words, a certain distance from the black hole) before being able to activate the hyperdrive. We have this described in text at certain points, but I agree that for the future we need to do more to indicate this better.
