Fuel Needed is an Action Arcade Side-Scrolling game in which the player is tasked to navigate through caves or planet surfaces full of obstacles in a spaceship to reach a platform at the end of the level while chasing after an alien and managing their fuel supply.

The game is making use of physics such as gravity and velocity to build momentum to thrust the spaceship through the air. If the spaceship hits an obstacle or a wall, it gets destroyed. If the spaceship runs out of fuel, it cannot thrust anymore, with the only way of replenishing being by picking up fuel canisters.

The game can be played solo, a race against time to complete the levels as fast as possible, or local multiplayer with the option of playing versus, up to 4 players race through the same levels as the solo, or co-op mode, in which up to 4 players control the same spaceship, each with their own controls.

The levels will take place on the Moon, Mars, Europa and Titan. Each world provides unique aesthetics, challenges and level designs that will take place in narrow caves or on their dangerous surfaces.
