Not really sure how I was supposed to play this game.

I couldn't controlling it. I always ended up spinning around.

Kind of fun, but I really struggled with the controls. I just couldn't get the rocket to go in the direction I wanted without it spinning round endlessly. A little fine-tuning of the steering would make a world of difference.

Oh well, it's pretty unbeatable.

The steering is good when you get used to it (which is the point! :D ) I would like to know where the moon is when I start, though. :) Overall, awesome!

You, sir, have been playing too much KSP.

Cool idea. I think the difficulty controlling it is what makes it fun. It might be more fun with a map. Also when I land on the moon the game should show some damn appreciation (even if I do land sideways).

After a couple of tries I managed to be able to at the very least control the ship a little. While I am sure it could be a fun game, it just isn't finished enough, I wish you had spent more of your extra jam time to make things like better controls, and directions. I feel like this is a strong base, but not enough was done with it.

I didn't understand the goal. I didn't understand how to play too :(. Too bad there is not an in-game explaination. It could be a good game though

Interesting!

I found it almost impossible to fall into orbit without hitting the starting planet, and once you hit the planet I found no amount of throttle could get the rocket to take back off. How does this relate to the theme?

Confusing game, could use better instructions and there's no audio playing which could be included to further improve the atmosphere of the game.
