As a proof of concept, "The space race" is a shaky foundation to what could be an excellent arcade style pick-up-and-play. The game at its core does have a fun and simple gameplay loop. However, its current controls are very floaty - they need to feel more reliable. This causes many deaths that feel uncontrollable. The lack of a brake feature also contributes to this. To flesh this out into a greater game, I would do the following: Add a scoring system and multiple levels to incentivise replays; ensure that the hitboxes are more accurate to the in-game sprites for less unfair deaths and finally, reduce the speed of the boosts or make a larger map to accommodate them.
To conclude, Shadow2546's Space race is a rocky start to an experience, if given the right tweaks, that could be a simple fun to game to de-stress or have a short enjoyable time.
