Voidfire

Mini-Jam # 198 Speed - entry

This late entry took extra time due to extraneous issues and a bit of extra ambition.

Voidfire

Seeks to engulf and consume all that it touches.  It has followed you into an endless hyperstream, from which there is no escape.  Your only choice:  Flee, as long as you can flee.  Give your crew and yourself a few more precious minutes.

Seek out the three fuel crystal types.  Magenta colored is the fastest, and Yellow is the slowest.  Toggle between or select which fuel type to burn, while you dodge debris and voidspawn.  

Controls

• UP, LEFT,DOWN, RIGHT (arrow keys and W,A,S,D)
• Swap fuel types with Q and E, as well as ctrl and numpad 0 (for fellow lefties)
• 1, 2 and 3 above the (wasd) also select a specific fuel type for usage.

The Voidfire accelerates very slowly over time, allowing you to build a considerable lead.

This isn't very balanced yet, and it's effectively a test-bed for another game under development.  Updates might happen, but the focus will most likely be on that game, instead.
