Loved this one. Also loved the little intro that teaches the controls, very nice! It's fun, has good theme, and is easy to play. Audio is great too; the reverb, the control tower chatter in the background. A great entry for a jam!

Thank you!
I usually run out of time before even thinking of adding a tutorial so I really wanted to make sure I got that done this time—it helped that the idea for it hit fairly early on.
The radio chatter was, in contrast, a very late addition. I thought that I would be shipping with only the fart sound effect, but then I found out that NASA has audio recordings archived and free to download and use, so the chatter is actually a recording from an Apollo mission in the 80s, chopped up and mangled to be incomprehensible and static-y.
Could I have just manufactured my own sound in less time? ...yeah probably, but it wouldn't have been as authentic! And that matters, I guess! Hahaha.
Anyway, thank you for playing and for the kind comment!
