Theme interpretation
We took the theme literally, our game involves shooting a spaceship out of a cannon to try to hit the moon.

Nice one. Love the graphics Sound fits perfectly. It's easy enough to get started and has this grindy thing to it that kept me going. Good Job
Wow, loved that game, I've been playing for... hours? I don't know. I reached the ruby asteroids but fools gold raises the difficulty a lot. Nice game design, graphics fit very well and sound is great. First it was hard to hit any asteroid, but late in the game the harder is not to hit any of the lower layers before getting where you want. Congrats on a great game ;)
Cool game, I loved all the mechanics.
I think you could polish some transitions for a post jam version (some of them take too long and kind of ruin the momentum).
I really enjoyed playing it, congrats!
What do you mean I can't have 2x big bertha?
The cannon moves in a funny way. It's quite an enjoyable mix, mining gets quite repetitive though. The fools gold is very annoying, because the detector gives just a slight glow and instead of mining I need to keep staring at the screen and wonder if it's safe to mine or not.
It's also quite annoying when I hit the lowest asteroid just after launching and there's no way to avoid this.
Heh- I liked the conceit and the clever mix between launcher-lander mechanics and strategy building game.
The earth model was super cool looking! Progression felt kinda slow in the game. Having to use fuel throughout multiple runs was pretty interesting! Good job!
Wow, absolutely incredible game! I played for what felt like hours trying to get to the moon but ran out of fuel in the end haha. Oh well, I really enjoyed it. The progression is really well balanced and well planned.
A couple of points of critique:
Overall really great game, 5/5 from me. Hope you keep working on it and add more polish!
I really enjoyed playing this - thank you for making & sharing it! Upgrade strategies were interesting & well balanced and the difficulty progression was very good (e.g. upgrades that make the game harder but more efficient). Altogether satisfying & fun.
Good Concept! It took me a while to understand all the mechanics, but once I understood them all, I really enjoyed the game. Nice one!
Damn this is really tough ahaha I like the concept though!
I like the space mining concept, and you've added a lot of stuff to the shop which is impressive. The space flight was difficult to get used to, but maybe that's just me.
