I think the difficulty controlling it is what makes it fun. It might be more fun with a map. Also when I land on the moon the game should show some damn appreciation (even if I do land sideways)."},{"author_name":"Static_boy123","author_uid":"6108","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 10:12pm","epoch":1398722820,"text":"After a couple of tries I managed to be able to at the very least control the ship a little. While I am sure it could be a fun game, it just isn't finished enough, I wish you had spent more of your extra jam time to make things like better controls, and directions. I feel like this is a strong base, but not enough was done with it."},{"author_name":"skymen","author_uid":"33923","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 6:28pm","epoch":1398795780,"text":"I didn't understand the goal.
