The rocket design was fun and cute but can't say the same about any of the other objects *shudder*. The background music really gives the player a sense of urgency and everything plays really well together!
It gave a nice challenge but wasn't too hard. I wanted a liiiittle bit more air in front of the rocket to prepare and react. The fuel meter was a nice touch and a welcome change from collecting stars/points. And it really made you save those boosts for when you actually needed it!
