Very cool! The light mechanic fits the theme well and makes controlling your speed more challenging and fun. The limitation is used perfectly, I would say speed is definitely key with a timer counting down, and it forced me to make some dangerous maneuvers through the asteroids.

Use of the limitation
DATA_RUNNER is a race against time to deliver data to different space stations. There are asteroids that litter the way that can only be revealed by the spotlight on your ship. Controlling your speed is key; too fast and you wont have time to evade, too slow and the data will expire.
