No knowledge of 3d programming? Unity? Blender? Until a week ago? First time entering Ludum Dare? This is a pretty impressive entry.

My only complaint is a lack of a sense of depth/perspective. In other words, I had a hard time knowing how close I was to the obstacles. I think there needs to be some kind of reference object+shadows so that you get a better sense of where the rocket is vs where the next obstacle is. Actually, just a "distance" meter might be all that's needed.

Very good!

It's quite hard to predict when you're near a circle or not, but still, good entry!

Nice game for a first attempt! I also had trouble with the perspective from unity, I guess its pretty usual as a friend of mine had the same problem.

This is a very interesting concept. Given some more polish it would make a hell of a minigame. The biggest problem right now is, as quill18 wrote, perspective. You could fix that by casting player's shadow on the obstacles. Nevertheless, well done!

that's a great achievement for just starting with unity, nicely done

Good entry and good debut!

Nice work! That is a really cool visual idea. I think it would be more visually consistent if the player was just a circle rather then a 3D cylinder.

Web link doesn't seem to be working right now. :/

Link appears to be broken unfortunately, I'll check back on this one later.

Okay it works now :) Took me a while to figure out what to do, but it's a pretty cool concept, nice entry!

Also, I can't help but see giant Pacman's coming at me xD

Took a minute to get used to, then was a bit too easy to stay interesting. Might be more effective if there was a lose condition instead of being allowed to basically rack up a score forever. Otherwise, nicely done.

Pretty darn good for a first LD, and good overall. Could use some sound and a bit of more depth/perspective to allow for more gauging of how close/far the objects were, but it's still a pretty damn good job well done! :D
