Nice work. I love this type of game and combining/testing fuels was great!

I couldn't put this game down. I think that says it all. Fun, great humour and the flat earth ice wall was icing on the cake!

This is such a good game! It really reminds me of those classic flash games like hedgehog launcher and shopping cart hero. I loved it so much that I bought all the upgrades! However once I got past about 104000 I got a fatal error hahaha. Thanks for making something so fun, I hope you're proud of yourself for this! :grin:

Apologies but is the framerate supposed to be this low? I have a G-Sync monitor, and turning off G-Sync doesn't seem to help. A shame because this game looks cool.

A bit laggy in my end but still enjoyable, gotta love the idea

We are looking into framerate issues. However in the meantime you should be able to cap your frames via console.

Quite a fun little game, well executed. As I started out I was doubtful that it would keep my interest very long, and then it was a half hour later and I was pushing the 100,000 mark. The various upgrades were interesting and always felt impactful, although the catapult’s effect of starting you pointing directly down was a bit annoying. I loved the design of the background images, especially the first zone transition, and the rest of the graphics worked well for the game. Good music, it would have been nice if re-launching from the end of flight screen had not started it over, I would have liked to hear the full thing rather then the beginning over and over.

Overall a very fun game, eggcellent game jam entry!

A really fun little game, and I played it for way too long. Well done.

Its a fun game, similar to "kitten cannon" or one of those flash games from mid 2000's
I enjoyed the customization aspect because it gave you more personalization and really expanded what you could do. My favourite power up was just straight up power

I just lost a decent chunk of my evening to this game, so congrats on really hooking me in! Takes me back to some old school flash games (Burrito Bison anyone?) Really great work!

I really enjoyed the upgrade progression. The start felt a little slow, but when I combined the red and blue fuel things really took off.

I'm still a bit confused about the ending though :sweat_smile:

Um I think I might have played this game for a bit too long - super super addictive.
Feels super polished and the trial and error gameplay was super rewarding and fun - finding the best combination of fuels took a good few tries (after figuring out you had to drag the fuels into the bottles), but I stand by the 1 red 2 blue strat!
Love the detail put into the background and obstacles - along with the music really added to the atmosphere of the game.

It's too bad the game crashes once you get past the 100000 mark though :P

Pretty amazing that you guys were able to make this in 3 days - had tons of fun playing it!
