Nice game, i liked

Having a lot of fun playing this. Some feedback: - A retry button would have been very nice. - Sometimes I lost sense of where I was. - Instakill is very annoying, and since there is no retry button, is veeery annoying.

But the horses have parachutes so 10/10

I like it, was fun to fly around. Went from easy flying to suddenly there being missiles everywhere.

Minor bug, I both won and lost, missile killed me, but I landed right at a stable door, so then the missiles blew it open for me xD

I like! A retry button would have been useful

Nice one.

@nebrazif, @yagovictor @raysi: Thanks! :) @elmismopancho, @stoffe and @raffaello: I didn't even have enemies or a win condition two hours before the deadline so I had to improvise. Thanks for the feedback! :) A retry button was really stupid to miss thoguh! xD

I love the aesthetic, unfortunately I kept getting stuck in the ground so I wasn't able to get very far.

Pretty fun game. There needs to be a quick restart button though.

Like that both the rocketman was unstable and the objective was to un-stable the horses. Was quite simple but for 1 persono over three days was pretty good.

Minimalism is the best thing in this game! Great job!

Nice Entry. Controlling the rocketboy feels nice and the minimalistic art style is great, aswell. I agree that a restart button would help alot.

Very interesting design. Are there only three horses at the end? Maybe in the end there could be a big stable with countless horses, which would look more like saving the world :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

@real-flamingicecubegames @surfa @markveligod @balduin Thanks! I have been making games as a hobby for 25 years and this is the first time anyone plays one of them. I will definitely join next jam too :).

cjce 2021-10-11 18:13

@xiyou !hanks! There are only three horses unfortunately. I didn't even have a working stable three hours before submission so I'm happy there was any horses at all to save xD. I'll see if I'll continue developing this game a bit and see where it lands ;)

Incredible interpretation of that theme! Love it. As others said, a restart button would be nice, but I'm giving this a high rating for the hilarious concept alone.

Don't close the game when I'm dead! Fun game! But there is one little problem. Why does the rocket launcher keep firing when I destroyed it? :) Good job!

grimaceoverload 2021-10-12 11:49

Cool idea. The level was a bit big and the controls a tad drifty, but it was fun.

harmadillo 2021-10-13 16:14

Nice game. Controlling the rocket man was fun(once I correctly read the instructions😊). Controls were responsive. Graphics were simple but effective.

cjce 2021-10-15 02:16

@holbinski @grimaceoverload @harmadillo Thanks! @axonny It does? xD I only had like 5 minutes to playtest so I guess I missed that one! I'll make sure to at least double playtesting for next time!

Nice! Unstable controls to un-stable some horses :laughing:
