Game

Your mission is to rescue a ship that has crashed inside a crater on a very, very distant planet. Inspired by classics like Lunar Lander, Crazy Gravity and Donkey Kong 3

The main mechanic is to rotate your ship and accelerate. But be careful, you have a limited amount of gas and any touch will cause the ship to crash.

COMPO Note: I couldn't test the game properly, so be warned that some parts may break =(

Commands

* A and D - Rotate the ship
* Space - Acelerate
* ESC - Restart on the last checkpoint

While I love the classic asteroids style feel, I fear I will only see a successful run in your screenshots rather than being able to experience it myself. Because I suck. But was fun to play! Thanks for making this! :smile:

It's a really good consept, and the controls are smooth too (although it's a little bit too difficult.) The artstyle also fits perfectly

Challenging but fun! Fine work! Pretty sure I'll never get to the end, though. ;)

Really like the aesthetic. Controls feel good and the difficulty feels just right. Overall a really fun game.

Was a bit frustrating that the first base neither serves as a checkpoint nor as a fuel refilling station :-( I couldn't make it much further than that...
