Enjoyment wise, I liked it. I had fun accidentally burning up the people in my thrusters or flying through them, and then I had fun trying to avoid them. Would be interesting to lean in a little more into allowing the player to burn up more ppl by balancing that with something else, maybe distance achieved gets u allowance for more deaths?
Themeatically, I think you might have gotten confused between thrust and trust. The link between the intro and the actual game play also doesn't come across very well, so it's a bit of a miss in that regard.
Still, I had fun trying to fly my rocket and that did still put a smile in my face. Good job with the gameplay itself, I wish there was more to it :D
