Fun! I completed it within 3 attempts, I wish it have more content!

Cool that this is different that most games (including mine) and there is some puzzle and thinking involved.

Thanks this is actually only phase one of returning to Earth but couldn't complete the other phases that would incorporate the other wild cards. But thanks for trying out my game. I appreciate it.

Everything was was awesome. One thing though, is the exit buttons are useless in godot web builds and accidentally clicking whilst awaiting the splash screen to end caused me to have to reload.

Developer

Yeah, still learning what breaks when switching over from to html. Ran into similar issues with resources and music looping etc... Thanks for playing and leaving a comment.

Thank gravity I was able to make it off the planet, I kept being worried I was going to need that screwdriver! 

Developer

I love the call back and pun. Thanks for playing.

Loved the main menu's twinkling star background. Reminded me of some old DOS games. Took me some trial and error to figure out how to successfully launch, but it was satisfying when I finally succeeded. 

Developer

Congrats on a launch. Glad you enjoyed it.

It's a nice puzzle game with charming music.

Nice concept! 

Congratulations on the submission!

I agree, Rayvin did a great job on the music! I'm glad you were successful.

I tried for like 20 mins! I can't figure out how to play :(

Also the game doesn't self explain much ,can you explain how to play :)

Developer(+1)

My biggest hint is you need to focus on the rocket system, fuel system, and weight system. Reminder the Maximum weight on the top right monitor. Thanks for playing though I appreciate the feedback.

Struggled for a bit on what to do but I eventually was able to get the take off to work.
Cool idea for a puzzle game even if I was initially intimidated by all the numbers, very charming graphics and I dig the little music loop. Shame you didn't get to finish all 3 parts.

I don't think the volume sliders were working for me though.

Developer

Thanks, I wanted to make it seem like you needed to do a bunch of number crunching but once you figure out the trick not so much. Thank you for letting me know about the sliders. I think exporting to html broke them. Too late to change them now.

A charming physics dialogue based puzzle game.
