Very solid and complete game you got here! Good gameplay loop that is natural for anyone whos plays games, varied obstacles and a clear indicator for how long you got let. I think you could interlace the obstacles with each other as you progress between areas, might make for some interesting challenges there. But overall, well done! You should be proud :)

Developer

Hey! Thank you for playing! Yes having some overlapping obstacles with their different movement would have increased the challenge and been a little more interesting I agree!! Thank you for the feedback and kind words :)

Really nice game, I missed a few fuel pickups but still made it to the moon!

Lots of nice touches.  I like the clean title screen, the "out of alignment" death message, the rocket's trail, and the aliens lining up like in Space Invaders.

Thanks heaps for checking it out!

Yeah I did play around a bit with the fuel so that it was barely possible if you miss one or two in between  for some added stress :')

Appreciate the feedback and kind words :)

Some nice art and some a good progression of difficulty introducing a new obstruction types through stages.

I think you could have benefited from mix and matching some obstructions at the same time to spice the gameplay up, but otherwise it was a fun time.

Great work.

Developer

Thanks for playing! Appreciate the feedback, I had considered including birds into the satellite area with some cross over but ultimately kept them all separate, but you're right that it would have provided some more interesting gameplay for sure!

Thanks again! :)

Glad to see a fellow space/rocket journey! I had a great time with this one, the pixel art was perfect and I liked the varied obstacles on the way up. Nice job

Developer

Thanks for playing! Hahah as soon as I saw Journey as the theme, space/rockets/aliens came straight to mind :') Appreciate it! :)

Honestly, a perfect game for the genre. It's the right length, the right speed, the obstacles are varied enough without being too difficult, the art looks good without being distracting, the controls feel very natural to use. 10/10 job well done.

Developer

Thank you for playing and I appreciate your kind words! I think I scoped quite well this time around :')

So although it is simple, it feels complete to me and it sounds like it felt that way to you too so I'm glad you enjoyed!

My rocket died to an asteroid. have you considered adding more health / lives? :) I really like the art direction and solid controls.

Developer

Hey thanks for playing!

To be honest, I hadn't considered introducing health just due to the length of the game being so short! If it were to be made longer, I'd probably add health as I know the restart is a bit frustrating :') Appreciate the kind words :)

Solid little game! My cosmonaut unfortunately didn't make it.

Developer

Thank you my friend! That's okay, it's no easy feat to reach the moon!
