I looooove this idea of managing different controls! It suits the theme of managing a complex and delicate spacecraft. I also like the visual direction of the game. It gave those tech vibes that suit the spacecraft. The music is also nice. 

Some constructive feedback: 

- I think the difficulty is a bit hard! But that could be me. 

- I love the idea and theme of this game, but I would have loved it more if I got the feeling I was actually diving fast into an atmosphere. 

- Music is great, but I missed other sound effects. Not only for the vibe, but also as feedback. That could be really fun in this game. Some alert sounds and interaction sounds (propulsion or button sounds)

Unique idea and it's done very well. I did find it very difficult and agree it could use a bit of balancing. But otherwise I really like the idea of the managing all the different inputs and the art and style are also very nice. Good work.

Nice game. The simultaneity of mini-games is a cool and novel idea.

A bit tricky to navigate, but you get the hang of it quickly. Nice game and idea.

Wow, different and well made mechanics. Polished and completed game. But it was a bit hard for me :/

Overall good job!

Can you try and rate my game ?

Hey love the concept and theme! Nice art too. It struggled on my browser.

Not a bad concept, I just think it needs a lot more balancing. The initial part where you keep the ship level is fair enough, but you quickly add on the WASD key part a little too fast, and it's really really hard to right the ship once you start drifting down. I didn't even get to figure out what the mouse button did because as soon as it popped up I was dead. The artstyle is nice though, and the music fits just fine, just needed a few playtesters on it and some tweaking. Still a good effort! A review back on my game would be appreciated in return!

You have a game breaking bug where the game won't start like Josh011 mentioned. I just get a slider bar and a button saying "Click to go for rock bottom" clicking or changing the slider doesn't do anything. Let me know if you fix it and I'll try the game again!

Frankly speaking, I don't have a fix. It seems to just happen for some systems, and not for others. I have no idea why.

Bug's fixed!

Just tried again! I enjoyed the challenge and found the controls interesting. So many different aspects to control at once made it have a really high skill ceiling, which I enjoyed. The music was great too! My only recommendation is allow a little more time for recovery so you don't die as easily, the controls provide enough of a challenge so give the player a grace period to correct allows them to really adapt to the controls.

The only screen here is a button saying "Click to go for rock bottom" that doesn't do anything and a slider, you might want to drop a quick bug fix if you're able to

Bug's fixed!
