Great game, I love the rocket stacking and particle effect. The pink color choice is ... risky. A reset button would have been nice on one particular level.

That's wicked!
+1 for reset button, but I still love it.

samh 2015-12-14 14:51

“Escape” resets the level; doesn’t it work for you guys?

At first it was hard to control the ship, but after a while I learned it and it was fun! Art is great, I love the particle effect and the art! Soundtrack is amazing too and the idea suits both themes well! Amazing!

Watched the Youtube video, this looks ace and I want to play! Alas, my ISP (VM, I'm on 3G) won't allow zoy.org ... :(

samh 2015-12-15 01:34

@DustyStylus I’m sorry about that. I changed the WebGL link to an itch.io URL, if that can help!

You were kind enough not to implement death, thanks! :) Quite difficult, especially because the left key makes you rotate in the opposite direction, but quite fun to play!

littlethor 2015-12-15 17:32

DAT title!
And those controls ... haha fun and well made!

guillaumegwi 2015-12-16 10:45

Nice game, a little hard to control at first but once you master it, it's pretty easy :D

mattrified 2015-12-17 01:00

Fun game! That camera shake, lol! The music was nice and the mechanics were challenging but enjoyable once you got the hang of it.

tantumgames 2015-12-17 01:47

Cool camera effect. Hard but fun.

Thanks for taking the time to review and comment on GET IT OUT!!! Hopefully I'll have time to take it further eventually. There were good levels here, but I felt like the controls were pretty difficult, even though I understood that they were the thrusters. Having right turn you left and vice versa definitely took some getting used to. That said it was still a cool control style and the music was fun. :) Thanks for sharing and congrats on finishing!

mockthebear 2015-12-17 21:19

Cool, you used emscripten too!
I loved everything but the screne shake. I think its just too much. But everything else its awesome!!!

raphi 2015-12-18 09:41

Really nice game, good job ;)

kepons 2015-12-19 10:49

Very enjoyable. I got stuck into a wall at one point but it didn't really matter. Interesting yet great visuals.

blake_lead 2015-12-20 13:29

Super fun game ! I'm a fan. Congrats.

ponk 2015-12-20 21:54

Cool game ! Nice pixels. I like dat screen shake
Thanks for jamming :) ...!!

I enjoyed the game a lot. The music made me really have some fun with it and get into the silly mood. I got to a level however where you need to slip through a crack between the pink and normal tiles and then pick up a power up. Once you get that power up you then can't get back because you are too large which is frustrating. Also whilst your movement speed / force increases as you add parts, and you are adding mass, you never seem to fall as a realistic rate.

samh 2015-12-24 10:26

@Starspell that was a puzzle; you can press Escape to restart the level and try to solve it a different way.

miwuc 2015-12-24 16:24

Nice entry with potential. Controls are very hard at first, but you get slightly better at it with practice. It would be nice if power ups had more effect on the ship. As is, I didn't feel like they changed much apart from appearance/size, which only really matters in the penultimate level.
And the title is lol.

Very good game! One of my favorites this Ludum Dare. Teaching yourself how to fly the ship was frustratingly fun and rewarding. Great particle/screen shake effects, and audio to match. The L/A keys didn't work, but I made by with P/O and Q/W :-). Very well done!

imagossoftworks 2015-12-25 00:13

The controls were delightful. Flying the ship into walls collecting power ups was awesome. The few levels that begin to feature puzzles were great and I hope to see more!

Cool use of theme , the ship has pleasant and original controls, and game has a nice vibe and concept. Some difficulty is missing I think, maybe just adding time or damages could make it more intense...good job!

xanjos 2015-12-27 02:12

The controls take some time to master but this is a really well done entry with great usage of both themes.

matiz982 2015-12-27 14:27

Good job. I have fun while playing this game. I love this music and i will play it again!

loneshark 2015-12-27 19:04

Reminds me of when I first learned to drive stick

Funny little game. Add more levels and a fail condition (perhaps timer or loss of expansions) and I can see this as a money game (especially if you can make it mobile-friendly).

nassi 2015-12-27 19:17

Cool aesthetic! The controls took quite a lot of getting used to as they didn't behave quite how I expected them to behave. Would've been cool if there were more varying map like the one where you had to collect the pieces in certain order.

dayko 2015-12-27 19:18

Very cool entry ! The gamefeel is great it's really pleasant being in "control" of this clunky armored rocket, Congrats !

g12345 2016-01-04 00:32

One of the better games I've played this LD. Then again I haven't played thrust/gravity force for a long time now.

The first few levels were probably the hardest for me, and the final one.

Yeah, it's a bit short and easy but theres lots of room to enhance it.

It's a very challenging control method though and I still prefer the thrust controls.

You make me realise I should make a thrust clone too. Thanks! :)

kerdelos 2016-01-04 22:45

I like the ways pick ups influence the thrust and weight but the gravity does not feel real. The graphics are cute but a bit flashy. And I would bet from the title that you're french ;D
