The bar which shows how close you are to exploding was a bit difficult to notice, so maybe make that bigger, but that was not bad. Nice choice of distorting the screen to show off how close you are to exploding, makes it nice and clear.

At the risk of making the comments section sound like a broken record _this is really fun to play_.\n\nMaybe you could make it more visceral when something, like not landing on your rear, makes your red bar go up?\n\nOne other thing I noticed is that the reported number on the highscore screen and the 'new high' don't always match up.

That would explain why some people had a more enjoyable experience about the shaking\/motion blur, thanks for the feedback\n\n@remco Ahah nice catch! Happened to my brother as well after tons of gameplay. It's such a weird bug, one that only happens once a year. Good job catching that one!

It felt like the flash games of yore, where you'd sit in the computer lab with your friends all trying to one-up each other. The graphics and the music were all good, though the shaking with the blur was a bit much sometimes. It's a great game by itself, but I could also see this turning into a bit of a precision platformer with some well designed levels, so the idea is versatile.

This is a great implementation of the theme. The music is fitting and the sound effect for getting points over the old high score is fantastic. There were a few strategies for movement that I found. One was always pointing away from your launch point since you will, more often than not, will hit a vertical platform. Another was just waiting for the rocket to gravitate to the left in order to line up a better shot. A surprisingly tactical, platformer-esque, game.\n\nI found that dragging the tip of the rocket against any object was a bit too sensitive, leading to damage that felt undeserved (e.g. when trying to fly low against the ground). Some of the platform spawn patterns can be pretty unfair as well, with the window to pass through being extremely tight.\n\nA really fun game with great graphics, overall.\n\n![Capture.png](\/\/\/raw\/3a8\/41\/z\/47a40.png)","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":748620,"author_name":"felixwentzel","author_uid":"felixwentzel","epoch":1633639397,"text":"Theme well executed with fitting screen effects (can there be enough screenshake?!).
