The art and audio were great, the only thing i think could have been improved is there's not really much of a difficulty curve as you get higher (it kind of just gets easier) and it only took me 2 attempts to beat.
Really good fun, controls felt smooth and the shop was certainly a nice addition. The background transition between the atmosphere layers looks great, as do the star effects. Congrats!
Thanks!
Thanks for playing the game! I guess you can use the clouds to dodge planes, It's always cool when a game mechanic interacts with other game mechanics and that creates some interesting situations :D
I like the drawings and the change of ambiance when reaching out of the atmosphere!
I think the gameplay loop could've gained from being shorter. And maybe having a way to collect coins on the way up? GJ anyways
Simple game but the artstyle and music is good.
Simple and enjoyable, but I didn't quite get whats the motivation to play again once you reached the goal - especially as I only got 4 coins which would require me to successfully play 2 more rounds to unlock my first upgrade (maybe I just didn't get how to make money :D)
Thanks for playing!
The coins you get at the end is determined by how many seconds were left when you reached the space station. So it motivates you to avoid obstacles even more. But I guess I didn't made it clear in the game so it's okay you didn't get it. Thanks again!
So simple yet polished!
10/10 would spaceship again
Simple in the best way. Fun little rocket game
