Rocket Barrel by Johnnyc1423
NASA's funding has been cut, all the rocket fuel has run out- but they do have warehouse full of barrels of gun powder. Go to space.
Left click to launch from barrel to barrel!


This is the first game I have ever made without following a tutorial, any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Fun game, but it might go well with a quick description regarding what to do - I spent a few rounds just clicking the barrels as soon as they appeared, thinking I had to collect them all.
Good job, and nice entry! :D
Keep making games!
But this is unique! Really lovely game. The graphics are pleasing and the sound fits well. Good going. Congratulations and good luck!
It's a bit like Doodle jump. I had fun for five barrels or so. :p
** Innovation **
I've seen many things like that before..
** Theme **
For me it's not that you get the Theme just by putting it in your story. The gameplay should somehow match the theme..
** Graphics **
Did you watch the Barrel tutorial of Brackeys? :p
Graphics were okay. Liked the planet in the background (:
** Audio **
Liked the background music. SoundFX were okay.
** Humor **
-
** Mood **
Mood was okay.. Music and planets made the mood..
** Overall **
For me it was kinda easy and monotone. But I had fun for some time. Good Job (:
I love the setup.
It did feel a bit slow though.
Suggestions: The hitboxes seemed a little strange. The were forgiving, but maybe a little too much. Some variation in the barrels would have been nice too. Some that move linear, some that move more quickly, in a circle, quadratic lerp, etc.
Bugs:
None found. Nice!

Cute little game, I wish there was a bit more variety in the barrel types / jumps / angles, etc etc. It was interesting to see the various stellar objects in the background, a little motivation to try to get further :)
Nice job!
