This game obviously still needs a lot of polish. And I didn't get to implement half the things I wanted. I guess that's practice of the Ludum Dare challenge, huh? :-) Limiting yourself to the essentials.
Give it a spin and let me know what you think. I bet you even have some ideas for improvements? :)
I hope you enjoy! And let me know if you manage to beat the game, will you? (there's only 8 levels)
For best performance, use Google Chrome.
During the 48 hours I also made a simple level editor as you can see in the screenshots. It's included in the source.

Solid idea! this could be nicely extended. The exhaust going in the opposite movement-direction is a nice touch :)
Nice smooth graphics. Needs some checkpoints or restart, it was really annoying to start over just because there is a fake dead end in the track, no way to avoid that unless you fail and remember it next time.
I'm annoyed by having to start from the beginning each time ;) But so you can use the x-thing in earlier levels as well to get some time, so I see why you did that.
Though I would not make the "air whirl" a point, but rather a line, as I quite often missed it and so lost some precious time
Well done, fun to play. A bit frustating, you have to spare every second to make it to the end. I would like be able to restart current level when i fail ^^
I really like the graphics, but I ran into a bug on the 3rd level. I went so fast that I flew through the wall and out of the map. Might want to fix that. Although it was a good concept and I really had fun with it!
Nice cave flyer game. I liked how it took multiple hits to destroy your ship. New game elements were introduced in a nice way. Too bad there werent any sounds. Nice job otherwise :)
Hey Rasmus :) Thanks for the great weekend, hope we didn't scare you too much haha ;) Anyways, really like the whole concept, has a lot of potential. I like the final feel of the game. It feels smooth and very dynamic; clean too. Great job! Good luck in the competition.
I love the feel of this, the acceleration/deceleration and movement feels really natural. The super smooth animation (I'm guessing this is 60 fps?) is great for that too. Nice work!

I completed it so there was something there that kept me trying. Just one more go!
