Carry humanity from dying planet into the bright future! Supposed to be something like that, but I joined compo on the middle of the last day and spent all the time on ROCKET SCIENCE instead of the actual game.
Sad that you only had half a day on this one. For what it was, it was very cool. Would be neat to add in more astral bodies to float between. The rocket definitely needs more boost... Even my exhaust couldn't change direction ;)
Controls were hard to manage. Whilst the mechanics seemed to be more based on reality they lacked fun and responsiveness to move and pilot the ship around to explore, if the controls were based on actual rocket science then putting in a proxy for gravity so it would have made it more fun to play.
For the time you spent on this it's really cool. I'd love to see where you would have gone with this because there are some really great details. The camera zoom out to reveal the full planet is really slick and a great effect. That initial zoom out is fantastic 2D camera work
The aesthetic is a really well put together one for a gamejam as well, and I could see it working very well in a more fleshed out game.
Looks super slick. I tried landing on the other planet and fell straight through it instead. With some real gameplay and gravity this would be really cool. Good job!
I'm interested in macroquad/miniquad now, I'll check it out at some point!
BTW, is there a reason the assets aren't in the repo? I like to download games, as a reminder of what games I played during which jam. But I can't run the game without the assets.

Nice to see another Rust game :)
However the code is the worst mess I ever made, be aware!
