THERES AN UPDATE THAT DECREASES POWER CONSUMPTION. IDK WHAT YOU MEANT SPECIFICALLY TO BE HONEST, BUT IT SHOULD MAKE THE GAME EASIER.

It doesn't behave that way for me. The rocket will slow down eventually, though if your velocity is super high it could be pretty futile. It just takes time to cancel out your current momentum with reverse thrust. Boosting in the opposite direction should not immediately amortize the velocity because the rockets thrust is often not powerful enough to immediately do so. If you were dropped off the back off a truck at highway speeds on a bicycle facing backwards to your direction of travel and started peddling it would take some time before you were able to slow down and eventually start moving in the direction of your facing.
Glad you enjoyed it. You can change the resolution of the game in the settings.json file though it will probably make things looks a bit off because it was implemented last minute in a hacky kind of way. Achieving resolution settings in pygame is non trivial AFAIK but I would like to have a system like that if I participate in another jam.
