I REALLY liked this game! Hooked me for a good 10 minutes! 8/10 would play again! (Seriously though, pretty damn good.) Perhaps you could check out mine when you get time? http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-29/?action=preview&uid=36494

Managed to beat it after many, many attempts. Had to adapt my strategy quite a bit.
Great game, nice mechanics and sound!
Very cool concept. Great controls. Amazing graphics. Just wish there was a bit more to do i.e. levels, etc
This is really excellent. It's an old concept which you've managed to make fun all over again. It's the kind of game that can be unforgiving, but it's made well enough that you realize it's just you that sucks at it, so you keep on trying. I still haven't landed it, but you better believe I'll be going back to do so! Great graphics, great audio. Great job overall. One of my favorite.
Enjoyed it quite a lot, well done. :)

Nice graphics and audio, got that retro feel. Took me a couple of attempts to beat it (if you let your rocket fall and then hit jets at the last minute you have a pretty good chance).

I really like this concept and how you put it together.

Took a while to get hang of controlling the ship, but after that, it was a lot of fun! I'd love to see the idea expanded to include levels in the form of other planets/moons too :)
God that's hard! Great implementation though
Wow, this is very addictive. Far more difficult than I was expecting, but that's part of the fun!

Way too easy for an experienced thrustplayer, but this was so lovely and atmospheric I played it repeatedly. <3

Too hard, and the randomization of the layers' direction and speed gives an uninteresting luck component.
Still, appreciated it a lot because it has to do with space: I am making a solar system of games. I already have Mars and Neptune, and now I have Jupiter.

Wow. Way too hard for me. And I love space stuff so I can't give an objective feedback ! I felt that hitting the border of the screen didn't make much sense ;)

Really difficult and great in it's simplicity! I tried so many times but couldn't manage to land, feels impossible when the bottom layer is a high speed layer. Great job!
