The intro cartoon was a nice touch, and the game has a cool concept!
That said, I didn’t really understand the purpose of pressing Space, since there’s no way to actually control the spaceship. It would also be great to have visual upgrades, like adding a new thruster or bigger wings, to make progression feel more rewarding. While the intro was well-made, I think it might have been better to focus more on refining the core gameplay loop first.
Overall, it’s a solid idea with a lot of potential, and with some tweaks to interactivity and progression, it could be even more engaging!
The cartoon at the beginning is awesome... We didn't have time to add a cartoon.
thanks, when the jam theme was announced..immediately got a concept and the animation was a stepping stone
Love the relaxing background music ! :3
The upgrades give a tiny push, but i think it makes sense in this kind of games :3
Well made !
thanks 😊
Nice concept. At first I did not know that you had to restart multiple times so that you earn money for upgrading and use it to upgrade the ship. I feel like players need the tutorial for that or a notice.
I was also hoping to escape the gravity earlier and float around and upgrade the ship in stages, because it seems repetitive and long to me to lift off multiple times and upgrade the ship every time.
I love the cartoon animations, they bring a vibe to the game.
Cool to see a complete gameplay loop even if the concept is simple. Nice work. I wanted to see what happened at the end but didn't have the patience to make it to 20k.
Thanks for playing... Yeah I kinda made it long... This is my first game jam and I didn't know you have to actually make the game short.. My bad on that.. Haha
Loved the opening animation! A great way to start the game.
Thanks very much 😊 , i wanted something that’ll hook the players more 😊
As others have mentioned that it does take a bit of time to reach the ending, the animations are top tier, i did not expect to see custom animations so i was taken back! The ship does feel slightly rigid? if that makes sense, like having it wobble more would add to the experience but that can be just me haha.
Also congratulations on your first game jam entry! It's a well made game with a proven core mechanic! Job well done bro :D
Thanks very much 😁, I hope to continue participating in more game jams
It took me fair 40 minutes to reach the ending lol.
Overall the game is pretty cool, I love that it has a concrete and easy gameplay loop.
Overall great job!
The byline for the game is hilarious haha
Overall, fantastic application of the theme, and I'm loving the ending. LOL
😁 Thanks for the kind feedback, the animations were made by my cousin and I think the tool he used was Moho pro and yeah for the distance I have to rework on that😅 same with the progress at start....but let's see how it goes.. Hehe thanks again 🚀
Unlocked Flat Earth ending... Also the music was kinda relaxing...
Also for the jam I think you should have kept it to 5000 meters... Maybe 20000 when uploading the game on Playgama?
Because it is just kind of upgrade rocket to exit out of Earth and prove Flat earth.....
Also it takes over 21500+ meters to get the Flat Earth ending...
Thanks for the reply, yeah I thought of the meters... Initially I wanted to make it 100,000m 😂...but someone told me it's a game jam and I should keep it short... Then I bummed it down to 20k..but i never thought the 20k would be kinda long... Well experienced gotten... Make it short for a game jam 😁🚀.... For the ending aspect, I forgot to change it back to 20,000m....that's why you have to reach 22,000m to see it.. My bad on that one.. 🫠
But it's actually good and if you integrate ads you can actually mint money through Playgama ads
lets see how it goes hehe
