Play game
Lunar Landar's itch.io pageDid you learn anything new during the jam?
Basics of C# and Unity, quite a lot actually! Serializing fields, using Coroutines and playing with particles!
Aren't you awesome for creating a game?

Great job on learning some many new things! My main concern is trying to understand where my ship is positioned in the 3D space. There aren't clear in-game instructions on what I was supposed to do, but I figured it out pretty quickly. Good luck on improving your Unity skills.
Yay - you made a game in unity! Really glad to see you take on a new engine and get your hands dirty! This mechanics were really fun and the fuel amounts / distance made felt balanced, with each level introducing a new element of challenge / difficulty. As explained on stream, the primary improvement to making this "feel" good would be to work on the camera, to allow players to choose more ideal perspectives and help them determine the depth of objects / distance from perilous red orbs of doom!!
Thanks for playing, and thanks for the great feedback! it was really nice to see someone enjoy it on stream! :)
General
At first I was a bit confused with what my goal was since the only info I got was not the hit things but then quickly I found out I had to reach the yellow platforms while avoiding the red things. Also the unusual way of controls made it a bit more challenging to control the ship but still loved it! :D
Some other info I was kinda missing is what you made and what assets you made and what assets you didn’t make so I’m not sure what to give you feedback on.
Awesome that you learned the basics of C# and Unity and just in general a lot of stuff! I hope you loved learning it too. Do you come from another programmer background or do you do other things in your free time?
Theme
I am not sure what you are giving a tribute to :/
Typo? I’m not sure if it is because we have different keyboards but on you page you mention that you have to use Q and Z to rotate the camera, however for me it was Q and E instead which for my keyboard layout was more convenient.
Typo for sure! Thanks for playing, its a tribute to the old lunar lander games... example http://moonlander.seb.ly/
Updated the description with more info as well ! :)
Thanks for the additional info!
OK, 2 things: 1. Usually when people want to rotate the camera , they want to rotate it around the player. 2. The ship flys alot less when in full screen. Did you apply force on Update or something?
Yeah force isn't frame rate independent, which is something I plan on fixing. I just didn't have the time :)
