Interesting idea. I like the concept of needing to balance fuel and cargo to ensure that my rocket reaches the stars. The music was soothing if not a bit repetitive and I enjoyed the effect when my rocket came crashing down to Earth. Personally, I felt more reward in watching my rocket come crashing back down rather than making it into space since I got to watch the rocket plummet and explode vs. just sort of stopping in space when I succeeded :laughing:

My main recommendation is to let the player hold down the button to increase fuel (or allow me to buy fuel in larger quantities). I wanted a lot of cargo and a lot of fuel and my finger got tired real quick when I had to keep mashing my mouse button to add one unit of fuel over and over again. Other than that, well done!
