Hey Lovely work! This was a fun to play! I especially enjoyed drifting through the upper atmosphere and floating around. I played and maxed out everything, doing my best to see everything you made. I like the changing environments and mountains that you eventually vault over. This adds a nice bit of reward flavor to your launches. Your early game camera work is also quite good. Here are my notes overall: With a number get bigger game like this one it is almost vital that the player gets to watch number tick up in some way (during the launch). That would be my number one note. As for player reward flavor, once you achieve higher and higher thrusts, you see less of the evolving landscape, and while making it to space is beautiful and very well captured (great job on that by the way) it would have been nice to have been greeted with some little aliens, space ship, planet. Something like that to add to the reward of making it as far as the player has. Same goes for empty areas of the lower world within the atmosphere as well. There are also a couple of visual glitches once you achieve very high velocity. Trees spawn briefly in space, and the rocket mesh can permanently deforms slightly, and also appeared to get locked on the wrong axis, by the very end of the game. Great work overall. This is my first game jam, and they are very hard and obviously all of our games are not complete, and polished and that is part of the point! I have found some major slip ups in mine I haven't told anyone about, that I will be fixing :) Im glad to have been part of the struggle with you! And hey LOOK we made full games!!!! Great work :)
- also come find me @ BisonHatStudios on insta tic toc or youtube - I will be posting about my experience wit the jam soon

Thanks for your kind words and feedback! I had noticed a few of the glitches you mentioned but this is the first time we're hearing about trees flickering in space, that's quite a bug you found. I agree that some kind of power meter or score is missing during launch, and adding things like a planet or moon in space is a great idea. We'll be sure to check out your YouTube too! Your flying bison hat is very stylish.
