Fuel?
The full game is a roguelite where you go on multiple digs to upgrade your ship (including fuel tank capacity). Running out of fuel is part of the main game, so don't worry when it happens to you! In this demo there are fuel replenishment blocks, but they are quite rare. The aim of the game is to get to the bottom and find the chest before you run out of fuel or hull integrity.
Feedback
We would love to hear what you think! Ideas, suggestions, bug reports - everything is welcome.
This is not the full version. Wishlist now on Steam for the full game.

Woah I enjoyed it a lot! Using the special ability to boost through blocks is really satisfying and overall the feeling of the game is extremely good!
At some point I had hard time seeing enemy projectiles, I had the bouncing powerup + the rear machinegun + the gems on blocks and I was swarmed with bullets and gems on screen.
I feel the special ability could benefit from a bar or a timer showing how much will last once activated, to prevent crashing on walls.
Wishlisted! It would be perfect on the Steam Deck, will it be supported? Somehow I can not download it right now on the Deck to try it out :(
Thanks for the nice comments and super glad you enjoyed it! A bigger demo is coming to Steam very soon and it runs great on Steam Deck :)
nice game
Really, really cool! Plays like a charm, is an original take on the genre and it just sounds and looks awesome! Wishlisted :-) Liked the slime blocks btw, hope there will be more surprises like that!
Very nice! Great follow-up for Void Scrappers
Music and art are awesome. Seems pretty chill, couldn't quite figure out how I was supposed to get fuel. I liked it though. Also ran great in the browser
Thanks a lot!
The full game is a roguelite with bite sized runs, that is to say, you are intended to eventually run out of fuel. There are fuel replenishment blocks, but they are rare. In the full game, you can upgrade your fuel tank to extend run lengths.
Fun game!
