Wow! Surprisingly addicting. The learning curve is pretty nice too, not something you see in a lot of these games :) I got stuck and was going to screenshot to show you where, but the screen goes purple when I hit printscreen? I'm not sure why that is. Anyway the part where you're supposed to jump through a floating "ammo" and land on a single block and then jump again. My second blast / jump isn't nearly powerful enough to get me to the right place :3 great game overall!

The trick is to jump and shoot simultaneously to gain extra momentum ;)

Nice physics. Interesting idea but gets a little repetitive by the end.

A game based on rocket jumping, awesome!
Nice concept, the single ammo aspect fits the theme but did mean that there weren't any real puzzles - you always know exactly where you need to go.
SPOILER ALERT
zonnelly13 - you need to press jump and fire at the same time, makes you go a lot further.
END OF SPOILER

"WIN!!!" arkazon had the pro tip. Really great game! simple but awesome! super glad you commit something even w/ rl issues!
Played through the whole game (to the "WIN"). I would play more of this! Small visual feedback for picking ammo perhaps? Or maybe let it be, it has its charm :) Great work!

Super-fun mechanic! Definitely something you should build on, if you have the time!
Very cool and fun mechanics. And very addicting. :)

the take on the concept was awesome, jumping is a little hard though. Well done (:
Fun and original. A good start to something bigger, I'd say. ;)

Solid stuff. I've always liked rocket jumping in Team Fortress 2 so this was definitely a must play for me.

This is the best interpretation of the theme I've seen so far. Good job! I hope you follow this up with a post-compo version.

Why don't you use mono. Microsoft made this new OS called "Windows 8" and they decided to mob all the XNA devs by not supporting it any longer:)

I fell out of the level.
I really liked the rocket jump mechanic in this game. Horizontal jumping movement was a bit weird thou
Very good game! I liked it very much, played it for quite a while, unfortunately I couldn't finish it because I suck at these kind of games, but I loved it! :)

Pretty cool! I like the momentum thingy. My entry features the same kind of thing :]

I liked the mechanic, but it didn't get interesting until the last part (to get to "WIN").
Would have been nice if the ammo indicator was something visual on the character, rather than text in the upper left corner.
Could have used some audio.

I had a hard time to understand of things worked for optimal power but finally managed to play. Good game, I had a lot of fun ! :)
Nice game, thought I did get stuck :( I included this game in my Ludum Dare 28 compilation video, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/UY85Y9qNh3Q
