JOHNNY ROCKET — From Rocket City's itch.io pageJudge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous.
- I absolutely adore this submission! The concept of a man surgically enhancing himself into a rocket with legs that fights aircraft with blunt force trauma is hilarious, and the comedy is executed brilliantly. Notable places for improvement: - Speed boosts would probably be more useful as consumables than instantly applying on pickup, especially against those pesky Fighters in Level 1 - Checkpoints would be a lovely addition given the length of the levels, particularly in Level 2 - When crashing out on the ground the recovery is a little finicky, might be helpful if it gave you a little boost upwards to stop you from immediately crashing out again. - Environments could use a little work, but they more than serviceable Overall the game is very funny, and fun to play (I spent longer playing this than I probably should have). The controls are responsive and intuitive, the humour is on point, and the variety in enemy AI adds to the whole experience. Also I love the added flair of firing a rocket into the selected option on the main menu! Really hope to see this again with a full dev cycle in the future! <3

Struggled a lot hitting the fighters, but really well made given the time restriction. Enjoyed level 2 a lot more, the valley was very satisfying to fly through, congrats!
Really liked the game, had a good laught and fun!
Some staggering and snap when stering to the right, but besides this, no problems!
Also, loved the main menu!
Pretty fun game, the fighters were hard to hit but i would buy this on steam
Wow, the visual humor in this is great, made me laugh out loud.
Nicely put together and great game mechanics. Fun submission, loved it!
