Why do you need to press "M" to launch a rocket? To me it would feel more logical if you could "press" a button with a mouse click. Or even a letter close to WASD, zo you don't have to move your hand.
Also, there is a difference between the fuel meter and the launch panel. Why not combine it? Simply have a launch button in the middle of the fuel meter.
Lastly, the info at the top is handy, but it's hard to see what rocket has what number. Perhaps make it more clear or put it on the minimap.
Still, these are only small things. The game feels and looks really great! :)
Lastly the game might have done better as an above RTS style of economy game. In which you could see all 4 rockets at once and just pressed buttons to fire. It would bee a little less interesting but mechanically would feel more solid.
Beyond that good job would like to see were this goes.
Congrats for the entry ! Maybe you can checkout our game too ;)
Overall, the game was pretty solid.
