Making of:
- This game was made in 15 hours with Love2D on a Mac Book Pro
- Every line of code (around 1000) is made from scratch
- I'm 43 years old, and my real work is to produce video games...
- I'm a big fan of retro gaming, so the game is inspired by retro games

The game looked very nice. The controls also feel right and fitting multiple small games on one screen of course fit the theme but wasn't that special. Oh, and it did seem like I wasn't able to collect fuel...
To collect fuel you have to destroy the fuel tanks :)
Love the graphics and the sound effects. I also like how this is basically an entire adventure, condensed into one screen. Great work!
Try to develop the idea!
The switching of vehicles was a nice touch, although the on-foot seemed the easiest, yet was at the end? Might have been a better fit at the start. Still fun though, took me quite a lot of goes before I managed to finish it.
Good controls !
We want more !
Took me a while to figure out you pick up fuel by dropping bombs on it ^^ Also that my missiles would lap around the screen. Really interesting to change character: I didn't think a shooter could work with the theme.
Really like the game - it was difficult but fair, so I wanted to keep trying. It's "take off" by the way ;)
