Such a programmer-style game =) I collected 5 fuel units and really had to sweat for them. Love that the rocket leaves trajectory lines - that was super helpful. Didn't get the purpose of the green circles though... I couldn't collect them, they just moved around.

@anya-voinova Thanks for playing! Green dots can be collected when you equip a certain item, that can be found in the giant rock at bottom right.

What an incredible game. I had a lot of fun playing it.
The concept and level design are brilliant.
Great work.

However, to get more votes, you should rate other games yourself (about twenty) to get more exposure.
I'll post on the site to tell people to come play and rate the game.
Good luck and well done.

Loved the SFX a lot! Also seeing the trails from past attempts is quite nice to see

Really love the exploration/metroidvania aspect of the game, which is really well executed, amazing work on that! Interesting use of rocket trails for later progression. Also, the visuals and audio set the mood quite well, nice job on this entry!

Dangerously addictive stuff right there, great work!

The past trails of your launches is a great QoL feature.
