This is a really cool idea! I love the execution with the upgrades. I also really like the music. You did a great job making this! Congrats on reaching 40 reviews!!

Great idea, fun to play! After a while, the nosecone fell off. Idk if that is on purpose? Not a big problem anyway, feels a bit like Kerbals Space Program :D Good job!

The music is truly a stroke of genius! I originally thought it was just a simple 'fly as far as you can' game, but when I finally made it to space, all I could say was, “Awesome!! We successfully made it to outer space!!!”

Hey, I made the music for the game Waltz of the Seedling! I really enjoyed playing the game and I also loved the music and sound design! Overall a very fun experience!

Really impressive game! Everything felt very cohesive, which can be challenging in general but especially for game jams.

The music was very well made, and I appreciated how integrated it felt into the world and player actions. I also liked how none of the upgrades involved any sort of automation, most of them just lowered the skill barrier needed to use with the main mechanic. It felt very creative.

Only issue I have with this is I feel like the theme integration could have been done slightly better. For example, if the QTE bar was a circle instead with the input bar spinning around it, or if the planet slice was obviously circular (it might be circular, it's just hard to tell with the camera angle) so it looks more like you're orbiting a planet, then this would have fit the theme a bit better without changing the gameplay that much. I still think it fits the theme really well, just that there were a couple of places where the theme could have been seamlessly integrated and it wasn't.

I enjoyed this game a good bit! The music and color scheme immediately reminded me of Outer Wilds. The first time I got the spaceship to go far, seeing the terrain dip away and space creep in from the top was very satisfying. I appreciate that the store would only appear if I had enough money to buy something; good UX by not overloading the player!

I did feel like there was some lag between when I pressed spacebar and when the game registered it, causing me to fail a few attempts. I also wanted to be able to reset the rocket without penalty immediately after an attempt that I knew would fail; I technically was able to, but I think the money awarded is calculated based on the rocket's location when you press R, not necessarily where it will land, and so I would lose out on whatever money I would earn by watching it play out. Also, I'm not sure if anything happens when you win? I definitely made it into orbit, but it just went back to the launch pad and gave me money.

This game caught me completely off guard!

It gives off a total Outer Wilds vibe with a very unique aesthetic. The music completely immersed me right at the start, and I found the pacing to be highly rewarding! This is an extremely well-crafted and well-thought-out piece of work. Huge congratulations to the team!

I just wanted to leave some constructive feedback based on my experience:

• Sometimes, when spinning really fast, my rocket would glitch out/flicker either outside or inside the map.
• It would be cool to have a distance counter (in meters) to know exactly what your high score/limit was.
• I wasn't able to finish the game (launching the rocket out of orbit) even after buying all the upgrades and hitting all the blue points until they became a tiny, almost impossible-to-click line. It would be interesting to include some kind of visual indicator showing how close you are to beating the game.

Thank you for the opportunity to play this, it gave me a truly unique feeling. You can really tell you put your hearts into making this. Congratulations again!

Really interesting idea, chill and fun game nice work!

I had a lot of fun playing this, I definitely think it could use some polishing but I found it pretty engaging and a fun concept overall.

Some notes:

- Would be great to see the distance traveled as I'm traveling, bonus for seeing where my previous ships landed~

- Totally my personal opinion but I think you can fold the meta-progression in somehow better than just having a store, which would incentivize lots of low quality runs to get better outcomes

- Might just be the browser, but using spacebar felt a little imprecise, sometimes it'd register a couple frames lagged after pressing.

Cool idea I hope it gets expanded! Also thank you for the extensive feedback you gave to my game, I really appreciate it!

It was a very fun and relaxing game! I liked your interpretation of the theme and I really liked the art style also. It felt satisfying to get more upgrades and launch the ship further and higher. Great work!

Loved it, very relaxing!

Never expected this coziness from incremental game, space theme and that killer guitar really fits together, I feel very relaxed when device breaks out to the space! Kudos to sound designer specifically.

OrnagePainting had suggested this game to me discovering you guys and I will definitely add your game to Spincremental Collection. I would also appreciate if you want to help my personal campaign of finding more fun Spincremental games (clicker and incremental genre)  and highlighting them, you can comment your permission or suggest games in this post. You can also reply from here if you want, please don't feel any pressure :)

Cool game, fun and chill! Great job

One of my favourite games on this jam,I maxed all stats

Fun relaxing game! Had a slow start but I stayed till I achieved all upgrades. Would be nice if there were more to see in space. It also has a couple visual glitches when you get far from the starting point, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it. Love the audio btw

Hey Lovely work!  This was a fun to play!  I especially enjoyed drifting through the upper atmosphere and floating around.  I played and maxed out everything, doing my best to see everything you made.  I like the changing environments and mountains that you eventually vault over.  This adds a nice bit of reward flavor to your launches.  Your early game camera work is also quite good.   Here are my notes overall:  With a number get bigger game like this one it is almost vital that the player gets to watch number tick up in some way (during the launch).   That would be my number one note.  As for player reward flavor, once you achieve higher and higher thrusts, you see less of the evolving landscape, and while making it to space is beautiful and very well captured (great job on that by the way) it would have been nice to have been greeted with some little aliens, space ship, planet. Something like that to add to the reward of making it as far as the player has.  Same goes for empty areas of the lower world within the atmosphere as well.  There are also a couple of visual glitches once you achieve very high velocity.  Trees spawn briefly in space, and the rocket mesh can permanently deforms slightly, and also appeared to get locked on the wrong axis, by the very end of the game.  Great work overall.  This is my first game jam, and they are very hard and obviously all of our games are not complete, and polished and that is part of the point!  I have found some major slip ups in mine I haven't told anyone about, that I will be fixing  :)  Im glad to have been part of the struggle with you! And hey LOOK we made full games!!!! Great work :) 
- also come find me @ BisonHatStudios on insta tic toc or youtube - I will be posting about my experience wit the jam soon 

This was a fun little game!! The music was really nice - it was different to what most games have, and that helped it to stand out!  I loved the low poly aesthetic :D The small details, like the fossils in the ground, really sold the game to me!! Loved it!

My only critique, like others have mentioned, is that an ending screen would have been nice. Good work!

Fun game, it had a slow start but it got fun the more I launched! I can see this game being more polish for sure!

A really fun game overall! I was a little confused once I got into space then just instantly teleported back to the launch pad. I think having a win scene or something a little more clear telling us that we have won would have gone a long way. All together a great entry. Good job!

I really enjoyed this! Very relaxing to play, it would have been nice to have a tiny cutscene. for when you win, but it still is very enjoyable. The audio design, although I find it a bit raw, I liked the music so much! It reminds me of Outer Wilds
