Space Delivery by aligator

[raw]
made by aligator for Ludum Dare 53 (COMPO)

A big shower of asteroids destroyed the moon base.
You have the order to bring much needed stuff to the moon.

However - there are still the asteroids on your way to it...

Controls: Arrow keys

Spoiler:
There is no moon...

It is not exactly what I planned to do^^

Game mechanics: * the higher you get, the less gravity - (up to some point) * the slower you are, the less power you need

No it does not make any sense.

Interesting game! Love the dubbed crash sound. But can I start next round without submitting my score?

Thank you!
Now you can ignore the highscore.

You've got a good base here but for me it was impossible to react to the asteroids coming my way. The highscore system is cool.

Fun game. I felt a bit more lucky than skilled on my best runs though. I always enjoy a good custom explosion sound as well so thanks for including one!

Simple, uncomplicated, and simply fun! I managed to get myself on the leaderboard!

Fun little game, but very random. Maybe capping the top speed would make it possible to react to the astroids in time?

Okay, I'll admit it - I kept crashing back to earth just to hear this awesome crash sound. It just cracks me up :grin: I liked the simple gameplay and how floaty the rocket felt. I feel quite cheated by the lack of the moon!

I had fun with it, but it did feel very random. My highest score is one where there just weren't any asteroids in the way -- I almost wonder if it'd be good to guarantee that an asteroid spawns in front of the rocket pretty early on to force players to actually steer.

I never really did figure out the steering, even really subtle movements threw it off and I'd never be able to find my balance again. So my best runs were just the ones where I was lucky with asteroid spawns.

Love the sprites and sound effects. The gameplay feels ultra-realistic, but also a bit luck based. Impossible to break the highscore without luck. But other than that, good job!

One of the few games where I kept trying to break my record.

Big fan of the slightly chaotic controls to the rocket - makes it a lot of fun! The booster effects are nicely put together as well.
