This was definitely an enjoyable experience all around. I love the dual purpose armor/currency, the adorable artwork (especially the sky swapping), and the wonderful name. Great job!
On a side note, how is the game supposed to end? I picked up an upgrade and then the next run I immediately won. Wasn't sure what I had done.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I love seeing dual purpose design in games. I see a lot of it in board games. I'm glad I was able to pull off the "turning enemies into pickups" thing in this way, too.
The end is at 330,000 ft. For earth, this is known as the Kármán line, where the earth's atmosphere ends and space begins. It was fun to try to build exponential progression to make it end so quickly. Yeah, the "more horsepower" upgrade doubles your ascension speed each time. I think at around 8 or 9, it makes you win in a few seconds. Unfortunately, there's a bug where you don't get to see the final background because the first few get skipped too quickly and causes it to mis-assign the backgrounds. Sloppy programming! Woops!
