Really well done. The polish is excellent, the opening scene adds a lot of character. The physics feel quite good, kind of floaty like Defender or something. The placement of the fuel and O2 seems generous enough to survive for a while with some close calls. I love the visual effect when the O2 is draining, everything around you goes dark. My high score was 7000.

Balancing going after fuel or oxygen was fun. I got really unlucky a few times.

First Pico-8 game I've seen. Good graphics and sound and balanced gameplay. Well done...great entry.

I love what a polished product you've been able to make with so few pixels, the environment and the UI look great and the controls feel good. It's tough though, my best run was about 1:22! Great game, good luck!

I like the graphic and sound of the retro game feeling in this game! The idea is executed and polished well, good job!

This is super cute!
- The intro was a great way to teach the player what's up
- Loved how the characters helmet moves around to indicate direction
- interesting mechanic having the ability to jet yourself when you're about to run out of fuel

Great job!

Fun little game. I liked it how you can aim in the direction of a fuel can when you run out and then collect one with inertia and continue playing.

Nice game. :)
Could be a little bit easier so that you can actually play it for a bit longer before dying. Also a bigger map or some indicator in which direction the next fuel/air tanks are would have been helpful. But I liked it. :)

Nice work! Nothing more satisfying than flying towards an oxygen as the screen is going black.

Pico-8 so that's cool. Game play is brutally difficult but still fun. It's a bit annoying when I run out of fuel I just have to wait to die. I wish there was some quick restart button.

Fun game! Smart to add the fuel leaking mechanic to stop players from camping next to oxygen tanks until just before they run out.

Solid entry! Felt polished throughout. Would have loved for it to be a bit more forgiving in the start. Great work!

Awesome! Simple mechanics but so well polished! There are so many nice little touches in here like the intro sequence, the visor nudging up and down to show which way your moving, the colour change as the oxygen starts to run out. I also quite like that the game doesn't automatically hit you with a game over if you run out of fuel and leaves you to float for a bit, definitely adds a sort of "oh no I've messed up here" vibe.

Very nice! The graphics are nice, and the controls feel perfect for the context of the game. And the changing colors when oxygen runs out is a great touch!
