That's a neat game! Any game is always made better by the addition of jetpacks :P If you wanted to add another dimension to things you could have the characters use their jetpacks to move up/down. At the very least it would give the player something to do when an enemy shoots them, since it seems right now that sometimes you just get blindsided by a perfect shot in the first second of the round. Not frequently, by any means, but it could be a bit of a bummer if it happens late in a run. Overall though, I liked the game and the novel take you had on the theme, incorporating it into the control scheme.

Well that was quite some fun! So simple but yet so challenging and addictive. I giggled when I realized the 'Space' theme of the game =D I missed any intuition on what different stats do though. And having just one life was a bit too strict. But overall, really amazing and efficient game!

Not So Personal SpaceNice game! I find the shoot mechanics to be a little strange and unpredictable. If you want to add some more challenge, I recommend adding a feature where you can move your character with the WASD keys.
