This game is really weird and challenging but slightly fun (maybe). I am so happy to finish this, I wasted 13 hours on getting rotations to work and happy I go them to work. It is not the best game in the world, not at all what I thought I'd make, but it's something. I'm very surprised that I finished even with this annoying wastage of time. I was getting to the point close to giving up. Anyways, it is pretty simple. Fly your ship with the left and right arrow keys. Each move one thruster and guide your way to collect certain objects and avoid others. The levels explain. Except, if your confused, the weird swiss flag this is a extra fuel upgrade and is supposed to look something like this (https://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://www.bordercenter.org/chem/images/gascan.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.bordercenter.org/chem/portablefuel.cfm&h=287&w=300&tbnid=3dNl9_1MEmxWBM:&docid=wMOoF6KF4IQr1M&ei=M3ZvVsmPE8nXeNTAl4gB&tbm=isch) with a plus.
The reason why it's called "The Rocket Mistake" is because it is supposed to be like a rocket lost a thruster (that's why it's hard to control). Anyways, thanks for reading this and playing!
Don't be too hard on yourself. You learned many things in the process of making the game, right? You finished a game in 72 hours after all - that more than half the people who start the jam can say! I'm giving you 5 stars for not giving up.
Really nice considering you only used java and no libraries (I know what that's like.) You should really look into using a physics engine like JBullet though. It would have saved you time on your physics.
Fun little game dude! Controls were a bit hard to get used to but I got there in the end and it was quite enjoyable! (Since hard controls are the point, I say you did a good job there!)
Controls were unresponsive, especially the small amount of spin per fuel unit. The collision boxes were off, too, and pressing left at the title screen is VERY laggy. I did enjoy the music, though, that was nice :P
