Interesting game. It took me a bit to understand that the blockers only rotate when you boost. Reminded me of the old school Lunar Lander games. I didn't mind the fixed angles on rotations after I got used to it, but yeah free turning would probably make it more enjoyable (though much easier)
Took me a little bit to realise that the ship always rotates in fixed way. Once I got a hand of it, I was doing much better. Pretty fun, but becomes very challenging quickly. Assets are well used, but I think there could be a bigger variety of them.
Yeah, I agree. The snap rotation makes this game soo much harder! I made it to second blue satellite and couldn't get passed it! Thanks for the game!
Really good idea to have the game running while on the tutorial: the player can test how the controls work on a safe space, nice! The gameplay was interesting, fun and challenging, but after the third level the difficulty spiked really fast. I couldn't beat the fifth level =(. I know it's hard to balance the difficulty of a game but I recommend to playtest with other people next time, just to see if it's too unbalanced. Other than that it was a very fun game!
I don't know why, but this game doesn't load and displays an error
Do you have the error message?
Yes
Ah, my bad :p Could you post the error message?

Thank you!
Pretty neat game, somehow reminds of flappy bird and somehow I feel that's what you intended. The use of theme is nice, the assets are used pretty cleanly and does not clutter much, so that's a plus. One thing I noticed is that controls are a bit clunky, but again if it's something like flappy bird, then it's probably intentional. Add some explosion animation and this is good to go to android store.
Thanks for the feedback!
It took me a while to realize the rotation snaps to the cardinal directions. Insanely difficult but I managed to complete all levels!
Thanks for the feedback!
Very challenging and fun at the same time, caught my self playing a lot longer than i would have expected, great work.
Great game! It is difficult but that just made it more fun. lol I spent a lot more time playing it that I meant to. The control of the rocket are a little awkward but I think it adds to the charm. I like how the rotation of the enemies is tied to the rocket to give a little control over them. Great job!
Cool game.. interesting to play and it is challenging game
funny and hard sometimes
Damn ! Soooo hard ! but in a good way !
I just lost 20 min trying to pass that freaking blue satellite in the curve.
Good idea, solid implementation.
I might come back for it later... show that damn satellite who's the boss ^^
Great job
Due to the snapping to 90° rotation and boost-bursts i see myself rotating way more than i would with smooth controls. Don't know whether that is on purpose, but over all it's a neat idea.
Fun and very challenging! I feel like more analog controls would make it easier, but the snap rotation makes it more interesting :) very nice.
Darn this is hard! But it's also very addictive :)
Could have done with more finer control on the rotating of the ship.
But I had fun getting through a few challenging levels :). Nice job!

With some polishing this can be a very addictive game. How do I know it? A friend of mine made a very similar game about 10 years ago. If you have a flash player you can check it out over here: https://www.kongregate.com/games/torreng/pixlander-2-infinilander :)

Phew this game is hard! It look be about 10 minutes to get through the first two levels and then I couldn't get past the satellite on the third lol. This is a cool take on a space lander type game. Rotating only in 90 degree increments makes you think about when you need to rotate and thrust a lot more. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the feedback! Do you think adding some more straightforward levels at the start would have been good?
Yeah, that would be good! Like something similar to the first level but less enclosed so you still have to practice turning but you have some leeway with overshooting it. Either way the first level taught me the controls, it just took a couple of tries.
Controls can be a little difficult, but it is fun to play even after crashing the ship a ton.
Thanks!
