Why does esc insta-kill? I have lost thousands from reflexively trying to pause/open a menu (that does not exist here)

well... I only added low fuel killing the player right at the end of the jam... sorry :)

I understand the low fuel killing, I am saying hitting the "esc" key instantly kills you and has caused me to accidentally lose alot of progress. 99% of games have an options menu open when "esc" is hit so when I need to quickly focus on something else (fiance trying to get my attention) I reflexively try to pause whatever I am doing and that killed me multiple times. For "reset" keys it's best to use uncommon keys "k" is usually a good one.
