That cut scene was simple at the start but really does so much to drive and motivate a player which I think I stand out considering it could have easily just been game with a score and nothing else to entice the gameplay. 

The fact that as you went higher and higher new objects were being added also gave a really clear promt to the player that they were progressing without telling them or using UI, while i never made it too the top because the RNG gods hate me and everything i do in life i will say because of all the effort you put into this game i wanted to kick that alien in the face.

Some life drop also would have been nice since the game can be quite tough at times. 

Overall a amazing story was conveyed to the player with such few assets which i think is incredible. 

Wow what a great look from start to finish, the cut scenes were a really nice touch and i really sympathized with the dude one earth who loves his planet (screw you aliens). So assuming this earth dudes name was Eric i spent a long time being Eric. We flew high and burned bright, hit a few birds and scared some plane passengers life was good! I never did catch that smug alien but each trip to the hospital only made me angrier, Eric would get justice!

The whole package was really wonderful, other than a scoring system i don't really have any faults with this game. Its clear you had a great time making it as much as i did playing it!

Loved this! Especially the death loop, gave me a good laugh :D

Would have been nice to have some way to restore health, it starts to get very difficult, especially when the helicopter shows up.
Also would have been nice to see the moon gradually getting closer, though it was nice to see the sky getting darker which was a nice effect. Do the clouds stop after a certain point too? I wasn't paying attention to that.

Really impressive for such a short jam, great job!

I really really love this game. Outstanding work dude! I love how you implemented a story line and animation to tie in each possible gameplay scenario into the plot, I love that. The gameplay loop gives you that push to go futher with the game, to get to the moon. I love how you added sound effects and music into the game that has the same energy as the gameplay.

The only issue I have is that some of the enemies, mainly the white birds, blend in with the background a bit too well.

Other than that, this is probably one of , if not, the strongest contender to win both catagories.

Brilliant, I love how you made a whole storyline to go along with it, and the animations in advance, the design and attention to detail such as when you get hit how your ship shows the damage visual, it has a level of difficulty which really enhances the replay-ability 

Gonna start with this - love the visuals. They remind me of the good ol days of Newgrounds :) The cutscenes are really good too, especially the death animation.

The game is fairly challenging too - the random elements flying at me kept me on my toes all the time, and the music choice was very fitting for the interstellar journey.

Good stuff here!

This makes me feel nostalgic of the era of flash games, the cutscenes are amazing, the rocket feels great and responsive to control, and it's obvious that you enjoyed creating this, and it reflects in the gameplay.

The cutscene's a nice touch/ It makes the game feel more immersive, and I like how new obstacles are introduced ramping up the difficulty over time.

I agree in Jack in that a scoring feature would be a good addition, but great job!

The cutscenes are very good, and really makes a decent game tbh 

146mb is probably the biggest file size I've seen, I will say that you should probably have a height counter/some type of scoring so you know how high you've got so players will try harder on other play throughs.

Nice job!
