Very fun and the little view inside the ship was such a nice touch. Congrats!

Submitted

Yay! I saved 22 citizens!

What makes it difficult is keeping the rocket balanced when landing.

This is a really fun game! It was fun getting used to the spaceship's controls and eventually being able to land consistently on planets! Great work!

Submitted

I love this! Seeing how those little guys bounce in the cargo made my day :D 

Submitted

I enjoyed leaving one citizen per planet alone to face their doom. :D :D :D

I wish I had a dash and a power up to collect multiple citizens at once. Or maybe have a shouting power to draw some of them towards the ship.

Great physics btw!

Watching all the citizens bounce around inside the cabin while racing against the three minute timer was hilarious and super fun!

Love the game, its lots of fun I really enjoyed watching all the citizens I rescued fly around the cabin

I had lots of fun playing the game, the sloppy control is really fascinating except for landing. Here are some of my thoughts.

  • The landing control is too hard, it kinda discouraged me to land and save more.
  • I did not know the usage of the container that shows citizens.

A bit hard to control in space but tossing the guys around was very fun.

watching the little guys fly around in the cabin was a super fun touch

Tons of fun. I'm super bad at landing the rocket, but still enjoyed it!

Submitted

Escaped the system with less than 1 second remaining. That was a fun one!

Submitted

It took a while, but as soon as I realized I could steal the guys, throw them in the hull, and then watch them bounce around as I flew, I was sold. Very cute and fun game.

The rocket is very challenging to control however I think this helps the game as there are minimal other hazards.

Picking up and throwing citizens is very funny :3

Submitted

the landing is a bit too hard, but the game is really solid. it feels complete. i also really adore the citizens flying around the rocket. i'm not sure that's how physics works, but it's incredibly cute

Pretty fun game! I sorta like space games like this. I was kinda confused about the "space to pick up and throw citizens" but figured out eventually that you have to be outside of the rocket. Landing the rocket is kinda tricky but i guess its kinda funny to see my rocket fall over and blow up. I only saved 4 citizens but maybe everyone else deserved to get left home. It was fun to see the 4 citizens i did save get thrown around inside.  Fun game!

A nice creative take on the theme. It was quite silly to watch the citizens flop around in the cargo hold.
