Ha, this is a fun idea. A really complicated. It might take some time to figure it all out :P

Rabbits...26 Aug 2013, 04:34

I blew up a few times but finally got it, some of the checks are pretty funny

This remember another game with a rocket (10 seconds to launch) , both have rockets and keys to touch before launch.
This is hard imo :) but kinda good looking!, love it

senseidav26 Aug 2013, 19:02

The idea is good, also there are humor in the entriesm whose are totally optional.. But with several tries, it´s a little hard to launch the rocket.

PackSciences26 Aug 2013, 19:58

Finally finished it

lesterpig27 Aug 2013, 09:11

Nice game but quickly ended ;) Graphics are really amazing !

Colapsydo27 Aug 2013, 09:12

Graphics and animations are awesome (like the antenna bobbing after the launch). Checklist has some nice ones. And what a relief when the rocket is off :)

Gaspard_27 Aug 2013, 11:27

Most of the game is optional:the checklist!
Totally worth it!

Sh1rogane27 Aug 2013, 11:28

Funny game :D

CustomPhase27 Aug 2013, 11:29

Heh, pretty interesting. The most important thing is kitties though :)

Surrealix27 Aug 2013, 11:51

Well that was easier then expected... although I managed to blow up far too many rockets first. I had hoped to see some cute kittens! Groovy.

nSunauthor27 Aug 2013, 12:12

@Gaspar :
Actually, some items of the checklist has no effect, but some are fatal. Each wrong reports need some amount of time to resolving. If a wrong report is fatal and not resolved when rocket lift off, it explode. That's the idea, but i laked of time to equilibrate this feature...

Lyonsbanner27 Aug 2013, 14:55

I managed to launch the rocket after 5 trials. Very fun. :)

nSunauthor27 Aug 2013, 21:57

@Gaspard
I'm sorry, you were right. I discover that the checklist has no effect as I expected. Cause : a mistake in my code.
It will be corrected soon, next the post-mortem version.

lcass28 Aug 2013, 13:15

so hard to play.

pereubu28 Aug 2013, 15:05

so so so so fucking cool idea ...
I just love it <3

SneManden28 Aug 2013, 15:55

Haha, very nice game! Got to space at last. Great humor!

futuristteletex29 Aug 2013, 07:36

interesting.. ^ pretty fun!

Yngar29 Aug 2013, 11:28

Some audio feedback would be nice. Just a simple countdown would let you know how much time you had left so you could focus on the reports and time the launch.
Cool idea though and well executed.

Arrow-x29 Aug 2013, 11:34

great art and a very good idea

Zephyr8930 Aug 2013, 06:57

Why oh why are there so many keys? It's not like its rocket science, is it?

nSunauthor30 Aug 2013, 15:52

@Yngar :
Finaly, I made a new post-mortem release with sound-feature.
Thanks for the feedback (Previously, I had given up to implement sounds)

Mlle Eole1 Sep 2013, 15:41

I burst ...in laughter !! x')
Great entry !! :')

Jellycakes1 Sep 2013, 18:03

Really nicely done. The checklist was pretty hilarious, which distracted me from being an astronaut. I failed so many times but it despite the simple controls, it was really entertaining. Really nice job on this.

DreamTeam1 Sep 2013, 18:03

HILARIOUS! I finally got into space after 5 aborts. Very innovative approach to the theme, and it sucks that you couldn't get audio into the compo entry.

UnixXNova1 Sep 2013, 18:04

very fun :D

nolann6 Sep 2013, 13:43
