I feel like I want more points of references that are closer to the ship so you can deduce your current momentum and speed, you can very easily feel like you're not moving. So like particles or stars around the ship would really help.
Cool :)
However, the chance of barrel/fuel pit to appears MUST became lower after the heigh increases. After I mastered the trick, I went from 37XX to 14707 in a single game.
I really liked the audio clips for the "New Highscore" and the "Game Over" one.
The Art Direction is nice.
The feel of the Rocket is pretty nice, it requires a bit of effort & meddling but it's fun.
I enjoy the music ^^
At first I thought there are collisions with the platforms.
I found this through itch.io. You should add a link to this page on your game page.
Waiting for the drop when you run out of fuel is quite tedious (and even if you pick up fuel along the way falling down its impossible to course correct) and it seems to punish players who make it further by letting them wait longer.
Nice poly art style and music though, great job on that!
Overall the game is really good
