Theme interpretation
Within a day, the theme gave me a ton of ideas with the environment of space in mind. Nevertheless, I decided for my game to not only expand beyond space, though into fictional environments as well.

The game was fun there was lots of cool details like who the trees would fall and the particles.also the music worked really well with the game the controls took a while to get the hang off but i got there in the mind. Good game!
Music isn't my strong suit but I'm glad you liked it, thanks for playing :)
This is like one of those really good but really frustrating arcade games. The core mechanic is quite unique and fun, and those birds are absolutely evil. It feels like such a full game due to the mastery of the core mechanic being the main focus of the game. Fantastic job!
I really appreciate it! Thanks for playing :)
I love it.
good job
Thanks for playing!
Actually a pretty fun little game. Lots of juice and effects, and it felt great wobbling and wriggling my way upwards. Only managed to beat the first boss a couple of times and got a high-score of 2227. Don't know how good or bad that is in the grand scheme of things but from the screenshots it looks like there's a even lot more content than I managed to get to. Great stuff.
Seems like you did pretty good in comparison to others :) Thanks for playing!
Game is pretty fun but also somewhat frustrating with the controls. The rocket doesn't seem to go up unless you also force it to go sideways. Also the control invert when you go out of bounds and teleport? Was that an intended feature?
The idea is to learn to maneuver your rocket through obstacles with the simplicity of two buttons. The out of bounds teleporter was intended, though meant as last resort, as it can severely mess up your rocket's balance. Thanks for playing!
This was a fun little game. I only got a score of 405 though. Even the trees on the ground killed me xD
Haha, better luck next time. Thanks for playing :)
What a funny game! Bosses look interesting and the mechanics are simple but challenging.
Billy can be kind of creepy sometimes, though...
But this is an overall outstanding game!
I wanted to make the game easy to pickup but hard to master, though maybe I did make it a bit too challenging :) Glad you found the Billy Easter Egg, thanks for playing!
Really fun game, though Billy did look scarily angry when I knocked the rocket into him!
It was a last minute Easter egg :) Thanks for playing!
HAHAHAHAHAHA! So fun! Loved knocking the trees over but the darn bird clipped me every time.
Haha, thanks for playing. Better luck next time :)
This is a very unique game. I found myself wishing there was a way to recover if I missed the star, like let off the controls to go back down without falling all the way down. The rocket graphics and sound effects combine really well, making it seem like you were controlling a real rocket. It was fun to play!
Thanks! Funny story, I made the rocket sound effect by breathing into my mic, and then adjusting that sound in Audacity.
Fun game! It was a bit difficult though! After getting a score more than 600 the second time before dying, I was done. Maybe I am just that bad :D
It was meant to be a hard game, no worries. Thanks for playing!
Very fun game, you made god work with the effects, shaders and particles
Thanks so much!
Like the pixel art and frantic music. It was difficult! I got the hang of the controls eventually but couldn't get around those birds, maybe if you zoom out so you can see more it would be easier?
I got the same feedback about zooming the camera out from one of my friends during beta testing, though I decided not to change it to keep the difficulty of the game hard. Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for playing!
it was really fun to play into your game.
but i was unable to finish first level :P
Haha, thanks for playing though!
you mastered the juice!
Thanks for playing!
