Wow! I learned quite a bit from watching you play, and should have probably included some sort of basic controls somewhere in the game with a brief explanation of what is happening. The part that wasn't explained (and not visually represented either) was that you accelerate faster when you fire. 

Thanks for playing!

No obvious way to quit? Pressed esc and nothing. Fun game, lots of spinning around the enemies to get them to stay in one place while you whittle them down. Could have been zoomed in a bit more I think, the mines were very hard to see.

There is an unavoidable crash in sector 9 (about 5 mins into the game). https://jwiggs.itch.io/drift-velocity-2 is a link to the fixed version if you want to challenge yourself to get to the 25th sector which is basically impossible without a masters degree in astrophysics, two PHD's in rocket science, and a Nobel Peace Prize in having nothing to do.

It's a really fun game, with smooth controls that feel good. I don't know if I got really lucky, or if you just didn't finish this mechanic in time, but all of my applications for upgrades have been approved. Good game regardless.

So that's where my luck has been going! All of my applications get denied! XD Thanks for the feedback! It was really hard to get the "out of control" feel while still making the controls feel nice.

Super fun and addicting, although around stage 8 there was an error that made me lose my progress

Yeah unfortunately, I only caught this half an hour after the jam. There's an alternate link on the game page if you really really want to keep playing though. There are still like 6-7 really cool enemy ships that spice the game up after that point.
