@ratogodoy Thx for the notification! I fixed it!

man this is a hard one, only criticism that i have is that the pixels on the sprites are of different sizes, but the game is really fun

Infuriating 😡 ... in a **good** way! :grin::grin::grin:

It took quite a few attempts to get anywhere near a landing but eventually nailed it.

I liked the graphics and the sound effects fit with the style.

I got 78% on my 3rd successful landing.

Nice game 👍🏻

I found the controls a little backwards but was still a nice take on the theme. 81% fuel record!

Fun little game! It's been a while since I've played Lunar Lander style game, and it felt great playing it. I've managed to land at my second attempt with 65% fuel left and got it up to 70% on third. I think I'll try it a couple more times to get it at least to 80%. ;)

This game is a BLAST (Pun intended)! I really enjoyed the mechanics and the way you implemented the fall down to the landing. It was very satisfying to nail the pad!

As an aside, I also created a similar game, and it was really exciting to find someone else who interpreted the jam theme in the same way!

VERY NICELY DONE!!!

Joke's on you, I have been practicing in KSP. No one crashes rockets quite like me!

My record stands at 84. !> I think 85 is possible with a lucky seed, as I don't see a better way to come to a full stop other than do a full suicide burn starting at 450m

Good game. Hard but just manageable. I crashed about a dozen times and then landed with 77% fuel left.

AMAZING!! Though it took a while to finish, it was quite addicting. I would suggest adding some sort of measure of whether your current speed is slow enough to land successfully.

This game is really hard. I maybe won 1 in 20 and that with 45% fuel left.

What a blast :wink: What's the best possible you can get?

Actually managed to land it on the first try :) It's nice and controllable.

Then I tried to do some tricks and turns out if you point the nose of your ship straight down towards the ground and press space it shoots you up in space instead of down towards the earth :D

pretty fun, something like a speedometer or a more zoomed out camera could be nice. You'd probably need more hazards if you did add those things though.

Excellent game! Remind me an old game 'lunar lander'! Good controls (a must at this sort of games), Hard but not impossible! Great job

mikouaji 2021-10-20 11:38

Very nice! Made my first land after a few tries :D There is a little bug when you reach the end of the map, but noting game breaking :) I had fun!

Fun and simple game, felt very satisfying and fair to get a good landing. I felt like I was a space X pilot. Well done!

Nice entry here ! Best Fuelrecord: 38%

Perfectly sized for the time limit and you even had the time to polish. Congrats. Maybe you should have added more levels with some obstacles on the fall, moving platform or a platform not on the ground level ? Some ideas didn't think a lot about ^^".

Congrats again, it's a very good little game.
