Very good looking and feeling, super fun, but i did encounter one bug. After a certain amount of retrys as soon as it started over the ship would steer all the way left and fall off, making it impossible to get past the first platform.

A really well polished game. Nicely done

Nice game, simple but effective. I like making giant ramps for myself to launch off of.

Nice idea. I tried to hit the platforms so they became a ramp to the next one. It was a simple gameplay loop but surprisingly fun. Great job :)

Cool game, but I guess I missed it -  what makes this fit the "out of control" theme? Was it the tilting platforms???

Submitted(+1)

I like the nice, clean visual style.

Not the first time I've seen the concept but very smoothly executed and lovely visuals - really impressed for such a short space of time!

It's a fun little arcade game. The visuals are very nice and it adheres to the theme. Although I have to say it's a bit generic. "The ship can't be stopped" is common to all games of this type,

Controls are a bit slippery, and I didn't realize the goal was to be in the air (thought it would be a Race The Sun-type game), but after the rocky start it's a really nifty little arcade-style experience. I bet my brothers would enjoy this game...!

this is a solid little game! the tilting platforms is a fun twist, it'd be cool to randomize the lenght of some of the tilty boards and see how that effects the game. really fun!

Jesus Just the feel when you manage to jumo really far feels so good. Well done :DD

This is really creative and I had a lot of fun tilting a platform upwards at a steep angle and then launching way into the air. Sometimes it glitches out a bit and if I restart, my character will suddenly fly off one of the sides even though I'm not pressing any buttons, but otherwise really fun to play! Give my game a try too :)

Looks lovely and I like the little mechanic of only scoring when you're in the air, so as to incentivize people into going for the big air boosts.

Fun game, I enjoy the platforms, makes you have to adapt, and if you get lucky they send you flying! It also looks really cool, you should give the game a cover image to show it off so more people will play it. 

Developer

Thanks a lot! Didn't realise we could edit the cover image after submitting, but we've put something up there now. Lesson learned to leave more time for submission next time :)

I love the style and the realisation, it is really neat and nicely done. The mechanics are easy to get used to, except I didn't really get to use the boost (I just don't think fast enough). 

It is brilliant that the source is available, thanks! We are going to do the same, but need to make our game look better first :) 

Developer

Thanks for taking the time to play and review :)
