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

#23This game is terrible, I will not be playing it again.

Fine, okay, one more try. But then that is it.

#24Classic problem of the game is too easy for the developer because they've been playing it for so long. The controls are unintuitive but fun if you're willing to take a beating for a while. Even after a long time learning tho there's a strong lack of control, a little bit of rotational friction tending to keep the ship upright would go a long way

#25Wow, this is a very hard game :) Five tries to even go away from the first platform :)

#26First 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 a little inconvenient. Luckily, touching anywhere on the left/right side of the screen works.
Possibility to zoom out would be nice, to avoid the possibility to fly into a dead end.
Also, I'm somewhat confused. This is HN and noone has yet posted some js that calculates/plays automatically? Iirc that was the case for the NASA docking simulator. Or did I dream this up?

#29Try Crossing Hand, Right hand on Q and Left hand on P.
It will help a little bit, not much.
