Really fun!  Even though the launch pad idea is really prevalent throughout the jam, this game still stands out because it was so well executed! Way to go!

hah, you managed to make a jankier kerbal space program lol

it's pretty fun to see how high you can get

I think just 2 boosters with no fuel tank is way OP and earn me most of my money

the buy button is weirdly unresponsive and I have to click it a couple times to register

I can hide the info box after buying a thing so I can't see or click on what's under it

I can't stop playing this — I've already put about an hour in. Building a rocket against the clock and watching it wobble its way up is so addictive. My best is still only ~3,000m though, and I saw someone in the comments hit 30,000, so there's clearly a lot of depth here I haven't cracked yet.

Which is sort of where this idea comes from: what if auto-alignment were a post-clear unlock? Keep the timer and the random part draws exactly as they are — just let players who've already beaten it line the modules up perfectly, so they can finally find out how high the thing can actually go. It'd give people a reason to come back after the ending, without touching the wobble that makes the main mode work.

It's so good to hear you're having so much fun! Yeah we were as surprised as you were when we saw that 😆

That's a great idea! Would love to do that after the ratings are done :D

Fun game. Little confused about the three upgrades in the bottom right that all have the same description? Could definitely use a bar that shows your current Fuel and Height.  Found myself getting a bit annoyed at trying to align blocks but I assumed that's part of the game so I didn't get too annoyed by it. :)

HILARIOUS game!

Took me 15min to find the "add 1 second to countdown" upgrade, but MANNN some of those rockets just killed me! It has so much potential.

My launch record: 32,242.94m

I had a lot of fun blasting off! The upgrades were cool and creative. I'd love to have the ability to add and delete upgrades in my pool. People could make builds like all thrusters and a black hole. It's funny that you explode everytime you touch back on the ground. Great job!

Great idea and really fun, but it feels like upgrading can hinder you by putting too many things in the pool. Maybe have to be a bit pickier about what upgrades I pick!

The upgrades menu was hard to navigate.
