The game is alright, it's just a bit confusing that W fires your rear thrusters and S your front. I know it's because they move you that way, but when you're constantly turning around, it's very confusing. Also, buying the upgrades is very difficult since the fuel is constantly draining even if i'm doing nothing. Since turning isn't entirely centered, it means I end up firing to the side and miss most of my shots, then when I need fuel because I used a lot missing and have been sent off who knows where, I end up with few asteroids around even when i'm in the belt and am stuck drifting hoping i get close enough to one before my fuel runs out. it would be better if you didn't start passively losing fuel until buying your first upgrade and there were something in open space to keep you from drifting without having upgrades

Hey Causemufins, thank you for taking the time to provide all the constructive criticism/feedback.
I'll be rebalancing the upgrades and controls in a post-jam update. I agree that passive fuel drain is excessive at the moment.
I like the idea of not using any fuel until you buy certain upgrades. I will consider adding that in the next patch.
Thanks again!
