How does your game fit the theme?
You have to venture deeper and deeper into a planet.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote the vast majority of the code during the jam and I made all the art during the jam.
The music and sound effects are not made by me.

They weren't lying when they voted this game #1 in fun, great work! I've seen games in this genre but yours has the best handling/control I've ever seen.
Great work!
Wow, I really wasn't expecting it be as enjoyable as it was. The controls were smooth. I liked that different parts had different durability. The graphics did the job. The sound effects and music were really great. It would be nice if the music tracks would transition more smoothly between each other, but that's just a detail. Amazing job!
Amazing game, had a blast playing it! Well done :D
Great Game!! One of my favorites of the whole game jam!!
Thank you! I loved your game as well
Thanks!!! :D
Hey! I made a top ten video of the games from this jam. (Spoiler alert, this game is in it)
If you like the video, please feel free to share it :)
Check it out!
Thanks man!! It was so cool seeing my game in your video!
Very fun! I had a great time playing it.
Well done! A nice classic arcade game, but very hard. I always like a good challenge.
Wow, this game is great. really good.. I played until the end. 5 start on all.. continue like this.
This might well be a perfect game. Wonderful job!
Great job, perfect game all around, no complaints :D
Amazing game! I spent so much time playing, great job!
This feels like one of the quality flash game days, 12/10
This game is amazing so I am giving it my full review.
I started out SUPER clunky with the controls. The very first level took me probably like 5 or so tries to complete. But the thing is once you get it, you pick up the controls so easily. Good game design. After a while I was zoomin around like a pro. Each level got only a bit harder than the one before it, so I could learn really well. Good game design. The mechanic itself is so simple, so it is really easy to grasp - but all of the work around it (good level design, the fragility of the ship, no penalties on crashing) complements the core movement mechanic perfectly. Good game design.
I'll be honest, when level 3 said "end of flight training", I assumed that meant the end of the game - a lot of game jam games are about that size. But then the moment I beat that, the game was like "the tutorial is over" and I was like "WHAT?" The color changed, and now there were checkpoints - the tutorial took me directly into the game. Good game design.
Each area implemented one new mechanic - the wind and engine dead zones were so awesome. Good game design.
Finally I thought I was at the end of the game and then the FREAKING LAVA SHOWS UP! The "Final Boss" of this game is appropriately much harder than everything that came before it, AND it requires you to use the skills you developed with each level's individual mechanic all in one. Good game design.
5/5 in all categories. Good work guys.
Wow thank you for writing such a detailed review! I'm really glad you liked it :)
Nice game, I liked it. The game mechanics are good)
Voted! Good job =)
I really liked the gameplay and the music, there is an impressive amount of content for a jam game!
Great design and well made! I really enjoyed this one as it reminded me of the old arcade game Lunar Lander. Making that a level game was a stroke of brilliance! I unfortunately don't see how it follows the theme, however, but otherwise its a great game!
Truly enjoyable and compact. I didn't quite get the sense that I was delving deeper into a planet, but the levels are all unique and fun. A great game and perfect for a jam.
Extremely fun and addicting! Awesome entry!
