Well done! I want to come back and try this more later, I have to run right now. But impressively polished!

Well done! I want to come back and try this more later, I have to run right now. But impressively polished!
Fun! Reached 3669 ft
Very nice, enjoyed it a lot and love the graphics!
A well rounded little game overall! The loop is challenging with a handful of elements. Most things work as expected. Nice.
I feel like I want more points of references that are closer to the ship so you can deduce your current momentum and speed, you can very easily feel like you're not moving. So like particles or stars around the ship would really help.
Cool :)
I think the game is a nice little package. My only gripe with the game is the viewpoint is way too narrow, by this I mean it is fairly hard to judge how far the refuel and pitstops are from just the icons.
Funny game. I like that you can fill up the rocket :D Nice gamedesign and lightning :) Good job.
Hey great job! I feel that you need to give the player just a little bit more control over their ship though, I found it almost impossible to hit gas cans without random luck and basically just resulted to going straight up, hoping to hit one by chance and if i ran out, i would just let it go straight back down and would hope to land on a gas station. I was able to exit the atmosphere, but not much mroe than that.
This idea was awesome! The gameplay is a little annoying, but changing it destroys the game magic, like Flappy Bird.
However, the chance of barrel/fuel pit to appears MUST became lower after the heigh increases. After I mastered the trick, I went from 37XX to 14707 in a single game.
Fuel navigation a little bit useless. It's always point to item below the rocket. :')
My record was 4624 :D nice little game. The control was a little bit hard. It's more luck than skill to get barrel. More music would be nice, too. For a compo game it's good and the graphics are nice. Well done!
Nice job!
I really liked the audio clips for the "New Highscore" and the "Game Over" one. The Art Direction is nice. The feel of the Rocket is pretty nice, it requires a bit of effort & meddling but it's fun.
Capture.JPG - Great fun. I saw the stars :). Fell to fast to get going again :p
Fun game!
I like the low-poly graphics, they are very neat. But a little more of work on the particles and the controls could have given the game a real bonus :) Nice one though!
The game looks pretty good. The audio was funny, I just found it a little hard to collect fuel.
Nice game! Controls were a bit hard at first, but fun game overall!
Very fun game ! I played it online and I can guess it's very good on mobile. Well done !
Nice, your game is fun ! I reach arround 4100 points. I enjoy the music ^^ At first I thought there are collisions with the platforms.
Really nice graphic! I like the idea and the number indicated height is so important, but I would like to have another background because sometimes I did not know if I am going up or down. It is really challenging to control the ship with the physic. It is really nice! Great game!
Those are very impressive graphics right there, the low poly art style has been implemented really nicely. These visuals make the overall experience a lot better! Really great! Plus, I really like you have given an android link, that is really convenient for people visiting the site on their phones!
Wonderful graphics and music, especially for a Ludum Dare game. Also, the fact that this is on android is pretty impressive. Unfortunately, it's either quite hard, or I'm just very bad. Overall, gods job :)
ive enjoyed it)
Pretty game with nice graphics. I like the mechanics. After the third try I went from a few hundreds to over 6000 feet. Would be nice to have on a lower volume in the background some fun music. And it's fun and challenging.
Nice job. I think a slightly more pulled out view or a smaller ship would work better for me.
I found this through itch.io. You should add a link to this page on your game page.
The controls were really challenging to navigate due to the momentum of the rocket, it seemed that barrels were the way to go and the refuel stations were impossible to land upon in midair. Would benefit from a wider view as I couldn't see very far and was course correcting too often. In the end, my strategy was to just ascending as fast as possible and rely on luck on getting a fuel barrel in midair.
Waiting for the drop when you run out of fuel is quite tedious (and even if you pick up fuel along the way falling down its impossible to course correct) and it seems to punish players who make it further by letting them wait longer.
Nice poly art style and music though, great job on that!
Cool graphics! Idea and the number indicated height was good, but I would like to have some more better physics and gameplay
Overall the game is really good
That was really fun, the rocket can be unfair because of the power decreases at constant rate (would be better if the depleting rate of the power is based on the actual speed of the rocket). The graphics are pleasing to the eyes (except on the flashing ones). I should always find a gas station just in case I lost some power then I fell to it haha. Good job. Results:
