It's a cool game, although I didn't get to check out the upgrades as I zoomed straight to the moon by holding spacebar. Wasn't sure how the starting fuel in my tank got me all the way there, guess I was getting fuel from something. I'm impressed by how everything for the game was made from scratch, those cutscenes were nice looking and silly.
This was a cute little game! As someone who loved those Armor Games penguin flyer games, I was excited to see what was in store for me, as it seemed to be going for a similar sort of feel. The visuals were really lovely, the cutscene had a lot of time and care put into it, and the narrative fit the style of the game perfectly. I will say that for some reason, either through a bug or something else, though, I never seemed to run out of fuel. I made it to the moon without having to stop, even though I hit quite a few obstacles on my way there.
Aside from the bug, I enjoyed playing!
The game has a cool feel, but to me, there are some flaws. The introduction is non-skippable and extremely long and the game has coins I didn't understand what I would have had to use them for.
Ah! A skip button would be a good thing to add. I didn't think of that. The coins are for buying upgrades to your jetpack in the shop. However at the moment it is too easy to win without upgrades so they should be more useful when we release the second version on Sunday. We are going to make it harder to win so you have to upgrade your jetpack! ;-)
Finished a playthough, the art and sound design were great, but the game seems beatable by just holding down the spacebar as the obstacles don't seem to appear fast enough? Also, the seagulls could use a smaller hitbox as I kept bumping into them while not touching them. The story was great and I appreciate the effort that must have went into making that cutscene.
Thank you for playing. I am happy you were into the story and artwork. We did put a lot of work into the cutscenes too. I will make the hit boxes on the birds smaller for sure and make the game play more challenging. Thank you for giving us your feedback. We really appreciate it!
Artwork and Story were just brilliant. I laughted to much! Gameplay looked beautiful, but i won right away first and second run by just holding boost and go up. So maybe is room for some more skillfullness. Overall: Super nice! xD
Thanks for playing. I agree about it being too easy. Definitely going to make it more of a challenge for the second release. I like the word skilfulness. I will have to keep that in mind while balancing the fuel consumption and enemy placement/ spawn rate.
I have to say, the content and narrative made me laugh so much. I really loved it for that too. Game play, I did enjoy but there were a few barrels that I couldn't pick up even hovering over them. That and I seemed to be able to just hold space without losing fuel. Overall it is really well made, great job!
Thanks for the feedback. I am glad you liked the story! We thought we would have fun with it. I have gotten lots of feedback about the pick ups and the game being too easy to win so we will make it more well balanced for the second release. Thank you for taking the time to play and let us know what you thought of it. :)
Fun game, loved the art work! might have used a cheat code to get to the moon haha
Haha! That's cool. I figured it might be a good idea to include a cheat code or two to help people out. Thanks for playing.
