YES i finally found it!! remember seeing this one in progress and wanted to play it so bad. The voiceacting is a nice touch, the cinematic bars on launch just to see my goofy pile of parts launch itself directly into the ground was truly delightful. The art is incredibly charming, and it got surprisingly tricky as I tried to make better and better rockets. Money increased pretty slowly, but that's not a big deal. I had fun with this one. I can see lots of possibilities for future updates with more parts and upgrades and stuff. Reached the moon... now i want to go to mars lol. Good work!
If the game gets into top 500, I will definitely do a continuation on steam, even though my goal is 1000. It will have name of my failed steam game ClassBoom to save 100$ fee, also its kinda of the same genre
ooh best of luck!! i'd happily play an updated version 💜 🚀
My character doesn't seem too happy to be on the moon, lol. Does he have a way to get back? XD
Joke aside, that was so charming. At first,I thought it was just gonna be like one of those rocket building flash games in my childhood. Adding the "claw machine" mechanic made this more unique. I can see a more polished version with special parts needing to be in specific positions for the physics to work.
he doesn't. But he doesn't has to pay taxes though)
I am very proud to have succeeded in reaching the Moon. :D
Nice game ! It was very fun !
Very fun game! It took me a while to understand how to make money, I struggled with that for most of the game but then one of my rockets almost reached the moon and I got back an absurd amount of money. Also the 'R' key seems to reset the money too, I don't know if it is intended. Still I managed to get to the moon at the end
Yeah. R is restart button, it also resets money to avoid soft locking when you can't build a minimal rocket. Glad that you enjoyed the game
so silly and fun
The art was great. The countdown was also really funny and sold the suspense as I waited for my definitely aerodynamic and not at all slapped together rocket to take off.
I did find it struggle to get to the later stages as it seemed a bit grindy to get the money to get anything substantial. But I did enjoy the art.
Yeah, that's the part for real rocket scientists, which I mentioned in the description: "The game is for real rocket scientists but is fun to play at any skill level." I'm glad you had fun
Love how well it is polished in such a short time. Pure happiness!
very simple and very enjoyable!! I liked it.
I think this is by far my favorite game ive played yet, i've been playing for 40 minutes lol. When I first played it I didn't know you could use A/D to move the parts. I beat it by perfectly timing all the drops. So then I had to play again after that. And now I'm spamming parts and crashing the game. Amazing.
My only complaint is that you can't watch your ship keep going after reaching the moon. Nothing even needs to be up there, I just wanna watch it fly!
Ha-ha. Thanks for playing. I prefer timing drops, but I already made the A-D movement and I didn't wanted for it to be removed. But I've decide just not to mention it. And yeah it's pretty disappointing, but it would be even more disappointing if you couldn't reach the moon entirely.
Very cool game. I like how you can add as much parts as you want
You can, but should you?
I guess only if you like it to spin
Took me a bit to realize that the arrow marks the correct placing position. Good work, was fun to play!
It's the up direction. You can place parts in any orientation, though that may impact the direction the rocket goes
The immersion is creasy, really felt like I was right ther in the cockpit with them
You can build two cockpits and be in both at the same time for doubled immersion ;)
Best game i´ve rated so far. Love the "voice acting", story and gameplay. Great game!
"voice acting" was a random countdown sound I found. I just pitched it up. I even forgot from where it came, but it's safe for work. I think
