Interesting, good job 😌
pretty simple little game! had a bit of fun with it. the start screen would do rather well with the controls just in the background, on the page had to awkwardly scroll past the game to figure out the controls. otherwise I would love to see a live readout of the distance travelled while you are sailing, this would allow you to figure out how well you're doing and less finding out at the end
It was way harder than I expected to reach outer space but I did manage to meet UFOs ! I like the funny atmosphere coming from the game, the fanfare when I launch into the air and the funny environment storytelling in front of the canon made me smile. Too bad the music doesn't loop in the web build because it's a great fit to the game.
Well done :)
Super addictive, and the game feel is great! The physics is nice too. It was funny to sometimes be in a situation where I thought my tardigrade would stop (because of obstacles or just my speed decreasing), but to graze a bumper and ending up regaining speed! I flew almost 15cm 😎 Great job everyone!!
I love the art! I really enjoyed mastering my strategy and timing haha. Great job hehe
Beautiful game! good job!
Great job! Super cute. I love that i get to choose a cosmetic, only for swap haha great addition to the gameplay :p
Fun and cute with a really well done presentation! I found the game to be hard even after many tries until I figured out right arrow and left arrow are not the same as A and D on the keyboard - and also learning that you can still move a bit once you land on the ground.
Ah, the classic catapult game. Reminds me of good times playing flash games. While there wasn't anything too innovative with this, it was still a great time. I managed to get to 295.43 on my best run. I absolutely have to give my complements to the art and sound of the game. Both were very charming! Nice work.
very chilling and addictive game
@cliff-coffee Oh right, A and D aren't mapped in the game. You can use the mouse buttons or the arrow keys. I tend to prefer the keys but you still need the mouse to pick an item, which is a bit of a UX problem, haha.
@neoawesomeon Yup, definitely some Flash inspirations here, particularly one game with a certain _yeti_... At 295 mm, you must have reached space! I always wonder if people will manage to see that second biome. There is actually an end to the level but it's a bit further still!
A very nice game, I've spent already too much time playing it :D. It's hard to master, but fun after you get a bit used with the controls (i.e. the right timing to use them).

I almost made it to the relaunch! This was a fun idea :)

got the hang of it relativly quick. Its a really funny short game I enjoyed playing. highscore.png
Very simple but also very fun game! Great job, played this quite a bit, but barely missed 300 :weary:
Awesome job!! The assets create a cohesive mood, and is fun to play. I know how short the jam is, but would've been awesome to hear more music, great fit!
Played on my phone #nobreaks. So close to being 100% phone compatible. Very smooth looking graphics. Love that it included water bears.

Simple but fun and very humorous :laughing: Good job!
Nice little game! :slight_smile:
Great little game that I replayed quite a few times. The graphics are consistent and fit the game well. Great work!
Simple but really fun! It doesn't do anything super crazy but trying to time the dash and braking to hit a boost or avoid an obstacle was fun. Being able to swap the hat in between runs was a really cute touch!
Tardigrades are also just really underappreciated animals so it was really cool to see them.
Nice and addicting, although it was pretty hard to avoid the obstacles. I got up to 248mm or so. Well done!
Simple but much more addictive gameplay than it appears at first. Great job!
That's a great title! The graphics are super cute and the mechanics feel polished! I'm so happy someone made a game about Tardigrades for this jam's theme, it's perfect <3
Thanks so much @ginxel! We were a bit stuck looking for ideas until Saturday morning when @helicule suddenly said "how do you feel about tardigrades"? I don't remember how we landed on "let's throw them in a cannon" but tardigrades definitely helped us find a game idea :smile:
Genuinely fun (and funny!) entry. The core gameplay was really satisfying with solid obstacle placements and suitable physics. Controls would have been nice to have been shown in game (it took a while to realize that one could also break), but other than that, not much to note. Great graphics, great audio, great humor. Connection to the theme was a bit hard to decipher without reading the description, but I guess one could sus out the animal's tiny size from the fact that the unit of travel was in millimeters xD.
After numerous tries, I made it to some sort of wall with pillows, is this the end? Screenshot 2024-10-24 at 23.23.54.jpg
Anyways, an amazing jam entry. I enjoyed it very much. Keep up the good work y'all!
@justmars Thank you! We had to put the controls in the description because there wasn't much time left to put them in the game, but at least it's fairly straightforward to guess how to launch and dash (braking is not always needed, haha). Next jam I'll remind myself to make the controls screen first so I don't forget until the end. And yes, you reached the end!
