Obsessed with this one, it’s simple but super entertaining. Good job!
Frook Congress ! Short but presentation is so good and fun. Tilting is a biiiiit fast I would have liked an increase in difficulty to finally arrived at the difficulty level we have all game. And also a faster respawn of course ^^
THIS GAME MAKES ME SO MAD. I WANT TO DESTROY THAT LITTLE SKRUNKLIE SO BAD YOU DONT UNDERSTAND.
okay but for real! This game is lovely. The theme is amazing. Intro sequence is hilarious. Concept is perfect. The use of the limitation is simple but its executed so well and implemented in such a hilarious way. I swear, the gravity on the tilt is so infuriating but its so hilarious how bad I am at destroying the moon. I was struggling to not laugh, but when I finally reached the Moon's smallest stage I broke and I could not finish the game. That little graphic of the moon is so pathetic. I love this game. My favorite detail is making the moon tremble as you aim your tipsy little rocket straight towards its doom. But then I overshoot and send the rocket at full thrust 90 degrees to the side.
Fantastic job.
this is so fun!!! I love the concept. I kinda wish it would restart quicker though because I suck and had to try a lot lol. 10/10
Spite 100.
That'll show congress.
Thank you John Sciene.
Haha nice, bullying the moon simulator
good job, can u see my game?
I think this might be my favorite, the humor actually made me laugh, everything is perfect, I hope this game sends congress a message once and for all, we are not to be trifled with
Thanks JML! Just wait until they find out about our next project. Pluto's had it too good for too long...
Juicy and fun graphics!
Thanks!! I'm all about that juice factor.
This is so good! Felt like finished game. So fun!
Appreciate the kind words!!
I was laughing before I launched the game... And then I saw the polish, and I though "so much work to make this little joke of a game, impressive!" John Science got me. I love the details, like the moon flying from its position in the menu to its place in the sky when the game starts and the bottles when the rocket appears on screen. If I had one negative thing to say, it's that it is way too hard for me, and just because I feel like I maybe missed a joke at the end. I would love to see a full playthrough on YouTube :D
Such a thoughtful review! Thanks for taking the time to play, Gatlink! And for the record, John Science loves you too. I'll try to record a playthrough soon (and there's NOTHING Congress can do to stop me).
I don't need anybody else to love me as long as John Science loves me.
Intresting name
is this game perfect or am i just tipsy?
From the "turnip boy commits tax avasion" title, the funny gameplay mechanic, the bottle particles, the sad looking moon,.. so much fun :)
Rest assured that day drinking is welcome and encouraged for all NASO personnel! In all seriousness, it's so nice to see people appreciate the little things that made me happy when I was working on the game. Thanks for playing!
Where can I get an interview for NASO? I'm pretty sure I got a degree somewhere..?
Probably not on the moon. Just a hunch.
Amazing artwork and sound design, the humor was on point too. The controls are a little hard but you get used to it. Well done!
Thanks for giving it a go! You know what? Just for that, I'll put in a word with the boys at NASO to leave Earth off their growing list of celestial bodies to blow up! For now.
Cool idea and implementation, it takes a bit of getting used to the controls at first, but it’s not a problem
Thanks for playing! It's definitely not easy to guide a rocket while inebriated, but our brave NASO technicians are giving it their all.
The screen shake when the rocket hits is superb. It goes well with the sound effect. Really great game. I hope NASO doesn't discover this game 😏.
Fortunately, all active members are serving life sentences for crimes against humanity, so I shouldn't have anything to worry about. (Game feel is definitely important to me, I'm glad you liked it!)
what fun! I really enjoyed the game
Thanks for playing!! Glad you had fun with it!
