How does the game fit the theme?
In this game you control a moon lander, If you land on easy landing pads you score less but If take a risk and landed on a difficult pad you score more. Why landing on difficult pad is a risk? Because If you crash You have to spent some points to retry that level but if don't have that much points game will restart from Level 1.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
For Code: Most of the code is written by me but for some logic I used Code Monkey tutorials.
For Sounds: Pixabay, Code Monkey Free projects assets (like from Lua Lander).
For Sprites: I made them in MS Paint.
Fonts: Google Fonts.

Nice application of a simple concept! It was more challenging than I anticipated but in a good way. I had to get used to the turning with A and D, I intuitively expected it to have some angular momentum and require micro managing the rotation as if there was no damping. Also would have loved some good space music haha. Good job!
Impressive Game, simple yet fun , Good Job
Thanks for playing my game and leaving a comment 😊😊
Good Luck
Best game I've tried so far, simple visuals, great mechanics and concept.
Kudos for such a great game.
I am glad that you enjoyed my game 😄
I'm in my kerbal space program period right now so I really enjoyed playing this game x)
Really fun and the you did a good balance between difficulty and maniabilty. That was really fun to try to get those x7 bonus ! I love the visual of the flame, really well doned.
Congrats for your game ! :)
I am glad that you enjoyed my game 😄
Reminded me of monkey lander. Super challenging. Nice work!!
Yes, I have recently completed the Code Monkey Lua Lander Course. So, I decided to recreate that same same game to check how much I learned. That was FUN 😄😄
Thanks for playing my game 😃😃
Cool game! I really like the aesthetic and the audio really fit. It was challenging but fun! Good job! :D
I am glad that you enjoyed my game 😄

This reminded me alot of a mobile game I used to play a while back "Mars: Mars"
The game was pretty fun! Like difficulty wise, I feel it was balanced pretty well!
My only gripe is that if you lose you have to start from the first level, I htink it would me more fair if we could just restart that level
The art and sfx were also pretty cool!
Also, just a nitpick, when you touch the landing pad, you instantly win (unless you are too fast), I wish that when we land, we also had to be stable, like both landing legs on the pad and all
This would definitely make it harder and would need some more balancing, but it could be a fun little challenge that you dont just have to touch it and "barely" make it. You have to absolutely stick the landing
Overall a fun and great game with cool art!
Thanks for playing my game and writing your opinions. I would definitely work on your suggestion and fix those issues 😀😀
Cool game, nice visuals and a cool gameplay loop. However I find it a bit unforgiving, mainly on the landing aspect, as I was going slow yet I still died. I also quite didn't like going back to level one after each death.
But overall a pretty nice game, has some potential.
Yeah, I should have safe landing speed to be 6 rather than 4. But thanks for your Comment
Best of luck in JAM
This game is so well designed, it's simple (easy to learn hard to master), clever and engaging!
In addition to that has a lot of replayability and the "risk and reward" is perfectly implemented.
The only thing that I have to say it's that perhaps it's a little unforgiving, especially when the lander explodes for the landing velocity (I swear I was going slow...)
Anyway weel done really!
If you try mine, let me know what you think!
Yes, you are right I should have made it more forgiving but real problem is when you play your game yourself it feels so easy we think that it's obvious and player can easily figure it out how to this but Most of the time player find it difficult to understand. The solution to this is Play testing but I was the only one playtesing it that's players are finding it difficult. Next time I am gonna play test by some other people.
Thank you playing my game 😄 wish you good luck it the Jam 😃
Reminds me of kerbal space program, good Job! Maybe you should remove the drag because on the moon there obviously is no a resistance.
Yeah I know moon has no air drag and much less gravity like 1/6 of earth but In those setting lander was very difficult to control. So I increased gravity and Air resistance. After all making a game Fun is more important that making it realistic.
Thank you very for playing my game and leaving your honest opinion about it 😄😄
Very funny, I like it! Good mechanics, and scale of levels. Great job!
I am glad you enjoyed my game ☺️
Best of luck for Jam

Minimalistic and stylish, really made me feel like a professional astronaut. 🚀

Hi! 👋
We played this game and we think it’s really amazing! Great work on the story, graphics, and everything 👍🎮
If you have a moment, it would be awesome if you could also check out our game and leave a rating, not just a comment. It would mean a lot and help us keep improving it! 🙏
Thanks so much to everyone reading this! 😄
It's good to see that you had a good time playing my game and leaved a comment also. I would definitely check your game ☺️
Bro game has been disqualified for some reason I can't rate it :(
What is the reason? I still don't know.
This game is pretty fun but I ran into 1 bug. For some reason when I had 20 waypoints and it was asking for 20 waypoints, it didnt let me retry. This is a minor bug but I wanted to bring it up to be helpful. Great game tho👍👍👍
Yes, I know about that bug I am really bad at managing economy in games. I hope you still had fun playing it 😄
Very cool! Were you inspired by the CodeMonkey tutorial for this one? I love his videos
I once saw a code monkey video "Game project for beginners" In that video he showed 10 games that beginners should make. So I looked at those games and I realised that moon lander is already based on this Jam theme so I decided to go with this idea. And yes I have also completed the code monkey's lua Lander course 😄
Really fun game! The controls are really satisfying and the game itslef remind me a bit of "Monkey Land" flash game, definitely one of my favorites so far!
I am glad that you had good time playing game 😃
Very accurate control movement, like it.
Thank you very much for rating my game. Best of luck in Jam 😃
OMG you just broke my record of 13207 😅
Very fun, you captured the feel of moving in space very well and its a cool mechanic, loved ksp so this is great
Thanks for the Rating my game :)
