How does the game fit the theme?
A daredevil meets a complete stranger with a human cannon. With a desire to reach a distant island, the cannon can be Murphy's only shot to reach it. And trust me, nothing can go wrong.

Nice job! Fun little gameplay loop, the glide mechanics were enjoyable. I think if you started with the glider it could've been better as you don't have much control at the start, but otherwise good job!
Well done! Played longer than I planned to! The glide mechanic is very satisfying. One recommendation would be to not show the instructions screen after every run. Can probably go right back to the store
Fun, complete game. Nicely done.
I love these kind of pure upgrade games.
Amazing! Gave me a real nostalgic browser game vibe. The flying gameplay is super polished and satisfying. Only wished I could see/anticipate the coming of bombs a bit before to nail more of them and get even more of that combo dopamine kick!
OMG, so interesting to see a game with the idea of people shooting themselves off cannons! I did one myself too!
Really loved the small story in the beginning for context too and the gameplay is great! GJ :)
I enjoy these types of games a lot! The cue story in the beginning is funny-I love the empty panels that simulate the awkward silence. The upgrades are fun. Nice!
https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-13/rate/3348291 ima see yours after school so can you see mine?
Very addicting game, came from the days of flash games (inspired by yeti sports or clone I suppose).
The addition of upgrade mechanic is welcomed to continue playing.
Great entry.
Very cool game !
I got little bugs, but nothing too concerning, like at the end of the game the trail is not there anymore (i don't know if it's because of my speed).
But overall, great game !
Yeah my leading theory for the trail is that the scale of my game was too big, so there was a loss in accuracy for the trail renderer. For the time being just pretend you're breaking the sound barrier lol
Awesome game! I shoot and shoot from the gun, it's so much fun. Thank you for not having hardcore and mechanics of losing, which are so boring! You can play this game for a long time!
Wow, this is one of the best games I've played on this jam, I'm not kidding. The game has incredibly addictive gameplay, great humor, and sometimes even good graphics. I liked it very much. Good luck with new projects. p.s. is it my opinion, or is the second glider better than the third?
Thank you so much! And I think the second glider has better flying stats, but the third gliders max speed is a lot higher, which allows you to use fuel more efficiently and get to the end.
What a great game! Reminds me so much of Learn To Fly!
Everytime you're buying an upgrade, the UI refreshes, which is a little annoying, but other than that, it's great!
*Whispers* I fucking love it so much
Took a LOT of inspo from learn to fly, grew up playing that and potty racer in class and such and hadnt made a launcher game yet. This seemed like the perfect opportunity. Glad you made it to the end scene too, it means more to me than you will ever know...
Overall the game plays quite well and I appreciated the little animation at the start to give some context to the game and theme. However I do feel as if the game would really benefit from some music, and perhaps some animations and particle effects for the cannon would be nice. Anyways, nice submission.
Yeah I had some music picked out, but decided to go for a peaceful, natural sound effects vibe. With that being said, the wind sound isnt the loundest. Appreciate you playing the game!
Quite fun. But there are not much things to do.
FUN GAME LOOP
