I’ve got a playable build of my game so far, available here:

In your amphibious ship you have to dodge bobbing icebergs on the melted moon of Jupiter, Europa.

Your jets are weaker than both gravity (in the air) and buoyancy (in the water) so you can’t help but move in a wave pattern… you use your up/down jets to influence the wave.  Pretty pleased with the basic feel so far.

Death is fairly common, so I’ve kept the retry loop extremely short, but not quite so short as my LD28 game where the players complained it was so fast they got confused about whether they won or lost.  You’ll go through a lot of ships. Fortunately the Science Team brought a spare…

I had the basics working a while ago, but there were too many ways to basically cheat.  I’ve closed the gaps, and now I think you have to participate in the game I want you to play in order to win.

Next up, core mechanic 2!  Hopefully they pair well together…

Ideally I’ll finish that tonight, and get a head start on tomorrow’s tasks of sound and polish.
