Dear [TODO: Insert name of vict - err - brave pilot here],
You have been selected for our space program. You will bravely pilot a vessel to the stars, and science programs on board will get us the necessary funding.
Unfortunately, due to budget cuts etcetera, we have been forced into a compromise: You only get one button.
We also got a note from 'The Programmer' - whoever that is - so we thought it important to include this too:
Unfortunately, I only had 1 day of about 8 hours, and I overestimated a tad what I could do in that time. Again. So the result is a fairly reasonable sort-of flight simulator... aaand... that's about it. There is a basic scoring system, so please post your scores anyway :)
Time permitting, I'll do a post-compo version with all features: - Menus which will highlight options automatically, where you need to use The Button to select them - Upgrades, paid by earlier mentioned 'score' (Which I'll probably rename 'Money' then) - Better flight, with more lift, more drag, and better textures.
The best I got was about 200+. Would have been better if there was some prompt to the player once the rocket lands, a simple "Try again!" would have better pulled it together as a full game.
@occash I wanted to pull the one button idea through to the menus and everything, so then it'd made more sense (and be funny and annoying!) You'll see when I get time for the post-compo version!
Thanks for the nice compliments all, I'll try to find the time to flesh this out a bit more, make it look better, and chuck it on Android store or something!
