No matter how far we come as a human race, fast food will always be a desire. So here we are, delivering you the best fat meals in space!
Your mission is to use a spaceship and steer it towards your destinations where you, after a successful landing, will unload your food. After that you'll be prompted to go back and collect more food and do the same thing again.

There are 4 levels overall in this build, each getting a bit harder.

Controls are W, A, S, D on keyboard or left analog stick on the controller

This project was created by two people, SirBrokealot (Coder) and Coro_yy (UI/Graphics), in 3 days time.
It was realized in Unity and the graphics were mostly made in Aseprite, in combination with Photoshop on some occassions, as well as Audacity for the audio.
The sound is partially selfmade and partially downloaded from freesound.org and Beatoven (background music).

Cool idea! It took me a minute to get used to the controls, but I had a great time flying around. Also took me a minte to figure out how to actually collect the food! My biggest complaint would be how blended in the asteroids are to the background. I kept dying on level two and had no idea why! Turns out, asteroids. Great submission and great work!

Man, I am a *terrible* pilot lol. I like the little space diner art, and the house in stage 2 was great, made me laugh.

The game is too hard, maybe that's by design? The spacecraft goes out of control easily, I suggest adding a slight damping to the speed.

Fun game, but please implement 2D world wrapping! It's too easy to end up off the map with no indication of what direction you're facing or where you're headed.

With 2D world wrapping this game could be real good :)

Nice work!

Good game!

The controls were a bit wacky and hard to get used to as the acceleration is rather painful but after a while I got used to it. For some reason initially I had trouble picking up and actually delivering the snacks, but a restart fixed it? Not sure why or what might have caused it.

Overall I enjoyed it!

@kyboon it is indeed hard by design. We did some playtesting with friends. Most of them managed to reach level 4 after a few attempts. The last one is also meant to be much harder than the others, but it is doable.

@holdmeimscared happy to hear that :D

Nice little newtonian physics game here. Controls are challenging but that is part of the fun! I like the simple graphics but it could maybe use darker/bluish colors to match more the environemnt, maybe also somewhat bigger?

Congrats on the finished game!

Great idea (I love lunar lander style games) but I found the rocket had a bit too much momentum and I ended up disappearing off the screen a lot.

Nice game! Kinda difficult to control, I think the forward thrust could be a little bit lower, but it does add to the difficulty.

Great idea and love the detailing but the controls are a bit hard. Overall great job

Nice game, the physics is quite fun and the graphics are nice !
I went out of the screen the first time I played trying to figure out the controls, and even after a while, it's not that easy to land.
Good job on that one, finish a game is never easy !

Nice game, but very easy to lose your rocket in outer space

Nice game!

I can hit all meteroids perfectly, ngl. My measurement to glide into those little stones must be some unique skill I have :joy:

Great title, I would just tweak down the force a bit allow for more control. Otherwise it is great.

Im a fan of physics in games, so I enjoyed navigating the spacecraft even if it felt a bit slippery in the beginning. I agree with some other commenters that you can loose your ship pretty quickly lol All in all, cool game you put together!
