I had fun playing around with the different rocket parts, but I lost interest quickly when I realized I didn't at all understand what the difference between the rocket pieces are. I would have liked to at least have some intuition as to the difference between each piece of a type (or even between pieces of different types). I still enjoyed trying out different combinations. Hopefully I'll have a successful launch soon :P

It was really fun! I loved messing around with the different parts, panicking to get everything in it's place in time! Good job!

Great humor, but it's way too difficult to build a rocket in just 10 seconds - I can barely drag and position two pieces out in that time!

Took a few tries but I had liftoff! Chuckled at my horrific creations, some of them just did somersaults in the air haha.

Great game, the music is kinda disturbing and building a rocket with those weird sticky rocket parts is quite hard.... So i guess you can't build a rocket in 10 seconds after all, at least i can't :sweat_smile:

Nice job! I love the humor in this, the writing was really well done! I also love the panic-inducing count down while youre struggling to do something meaningful. It was definitely really tough and I had troubles getting it to stick/stay down on the platform allowing me to get another piece. But I managed to get something that flew for a bit haha Nice job!

The dialogue from the boss had me laughing. Very funny idea for game. The UI and tutorial were also very easy to navigate. gg

This game is super cool. I particularly like the red button minigame. I love the backstory behind this game too.

The boss is a crook! I got it to space but he said I failed! It took 8-9 tries but I figured out that you don't click to place pieces but instead carefully touch them against the pieces already placed out. Frantically building a balanced rocket before the timer actually works perfect for the 10 second time period, even after the 20th play through. Great game!

Fun game, building a ship in 10 seconds requires some serious dexterity :laughing:

Very addicting. I had to keep trying until I got a success. The dialog is very well written. I like that you have a little button minigame but while your spamming it you have to stop early so you don't skip the dialog telling you how many times you pressed it. Physics work well. Reminded me of Happy Wheels meets Kerbal Space Program. I had fun playing. Great job!

I clicked 61 times and got a raise, but then I got fired reapeatedly for being unable to build even the one rocket ... Challenging and fun, but I am unfortunately no rocket scientist.

It's hard, but i managed to finally send one into space. The idea is cool and the result are funny! There seems to be some lag when I use the wings (at least the last wing I did full last I dunno if there is a stat difference). Cool game guys and gals!

The idea is really fun, and I had fun trying. It felt a bit buggy, but it is kinda okay for the game idea.

Fun writing. Building rockets was basically impossible for me due the time limit so I didn't get to really experience the game very well. Practice mode without the time limit could have helped to first design what you plan to build and browse the different pieces.

It is definitely a little too difficult to build anything vaguely useful, but it was a lot of fun to watch my terrible rockets twirl about the place. Well done!
