Theme interpretation
Launching a spaceship to the moon is hard enough, but what if it was harder? Original idea was to combine a space launch with "Snake" but I think we ended up somewhere just as interesting!

Cool and simple game! Encountered few bugs here and there, but certainly a well-done game!

Nice game, it's quite hard to keep the rocket straight to the moon, but the gameplay feels right, sound is a bit harsh and graphics are clear and do the job. Nice work!

This played great, and the asteroid sticking was highly entertaining even as my ship repeatedly spun out of control. Only weird thing was I got a state where the ‘stuck’ asteroids were not at all connected to the ship.

Developer

Yeah that was an issue I never got around to solving before the deadline. Destroying the asteroids works by radius, and checking for orphans turned out to be extremely non-trivial without rewriting them into a different data structure. Thanks for playing!

Fun game, nice! I found the controls interesting but I can't believe that I was an asteroid collector! Strange idea!

Submitted

This was cool. I thought it ended up being fun and interesting.

I really enjoyed this game! Simple and to the point, nice art, satisfying sounds and interesting mechanic sticking rocks to your ship, protecting you from dangerous satellites. Love it!

Well done!

Really neat Idea, I liked how the asteroids got stuck to you just where  you collided with them =D

Submitted

Fun game! Thought the controls were just right. Wobbly enough to add some challenge, but not enough to be irritating.

Developer

Thanks, that’s exactly what I was going for. Turned out to be pretty hard to balance though!

I had fun playing this!  It was very interesting once you started getting asteroids stuck, as it threw you off but it was great that you could still do something about it, and you had to adapt to what was on your ship.  Nice work!

Developer

Yeah once they start getting stuck it can get insane pretty quickly. Thanks for playing!

Simple but fun! The ship controls felt a bit unwieldy at first but then I got used to it and it felt good. The pixel art is really nice especially the background. This would make for a great mobile game!

Developer

Thanks! I tried out a lot of different controls for the ship but wanted to do something different than a simple left/right or asteroids-type movement. Glad you liked it, thanks for playing!
