Nice idea! The controls felt a little bit awkward, that is all. Also, is there supposed to happen something when you're out of food?
When you run out of food, it sucks power from your shield. If it gets too low, next hit will kill you. This gets very important in level 34. (Unfortunately, there are only 3 levels in the current version)
Once I figured out that I can use F to collect those orbs things, I blasted through levels like crazy. Actually pretty fun. I did what Matt Rix did, hold the arrows and just spam F. :)
second level is pretty annoying, but some nice ideas here. Fuel might deplete too quickly.
I like the approach. I wanted to do something quite similar but haven't finish. Min is not top down though. I enjoyed this.

Pretty fun. I kinda wish there were enemies or something else to do, I ended up just holding the arrow keys and tapping f a lot. Cool idea though, really like the minimap and the physicsy feel to the whole thing. The fireworks are also a nice touch :)
