#32First couple of free play (random I guess) levels were easy, then I ended up with one where there was insufficient fuel to complete it. It might be solvable by going balistic through some section, but I lost patiens, then couldn't find the random id for a retry later. Highscores for the daily (and yesterdaily to check where you ended up) would be nice. On mobile it shows controls in lower left/right corners, which is…
Thanks for the feedback! The level generation probably still needs tuning to avoid those kinds of levels. Daily leaderboard is a great idea!

#33why not use the arrow keys?
It's bloody weird using both hands to try and control the ship

#35This game is terrible, I will not be playing it again. [47 long years pass, my family gathers solemnly at my deathbed] Fine, okay, one more try. But then that is it .

#36The thrust being so sensitive you have no control, and then when you have enough speed, you have no power. It's literally unplayable.

#37Absolutely unplayable. I spent 5 minutes on the "tutorial" and can't do anything but crash after 2 or 3 seconds. Looks like trolling, not a game :)

Reading the other comments I tried the tutorial (who plays tutorials?!). They did feel faster (and thus relatively more difficult) than the random levels. Is inertia and gravity the same on all levels?
And tutorials 8 and 9... they are intended for someone to implement automation, aren't they?

How do you implement a leaderboard that can’t be spoofed with REST POST calls from curl or postman?(Genuine question for my own JavaScript game) doesn’t need to be perfect just a barrier that makes it painful to spoof easily

#40The controls get stuck on my Android phone. It'd be much more fun if that didn't happen.
The fact you have to land fully in the 'landing pad' is also immensely annoying. With a more play testing and better controls it could be fun.
I'm really tempted to make a clone in React.
