Excellently well done! Almost all the standard elements are here, and implemented well, the only notable omission is the auto restart when the rocket collects fuel after the engines have gone out. The thing that makes this game shine the most is the balance. A single upgrade makes a noticeable and enjoyable impact on the gameplay, you feel rewarded for every run and never get dismayed that you will have to put 5 ranks in something before it will make a difference. I do think the satellite layer is a bit think at times. I think you could make an amazing sequel, try for more collectables and maybe more interactive features on the rocket.

Thank you for reminding me of the Yeti. Years of childhood trauma from playing SkiFree just came rushing back. Five stars.

Upgrades are too cheap, the coins you collect are worth too little, there is no way to upgrade the goodie magnet, "winning" seems to just be reaching a high enough altitude and then blowing up (?), when you "win" you get $0 and have to watch the credits run with no way to skip, fuel tanks don't help on your way down, etc. Just a bunch of pretty obvious missing elements that are in other, better, rocket games.

"What is your status?"
"Huston, I'm now bouncing on a ball of cheese as we speak."
"...Would you care to repeat that?"
"Not really, no. Right now it seems we are stuck in space, just bouncing on the damn thing. Will report back if anything changes."

Completly bugged, cheap copy of other launch game without inovation, teleporting rocket launchers in space, no explaination for most upgrades : 1/5

Ugh. It's one of THOSE games.
Me: "I let go of the left arrow. Stop turning left!"
Game: "La la la, I can't hear you!"

Well, this game seems to me a blantant ripoff of Into Space 2, almost all the items that you can meet while flying are the same (even the boost gates), same kind of upgrades. The production value seems to be a tad higher, but aside from that, it falls short of its "inspiration": no missions, no space travel, no decisions to make about the equipment, etc. On the other hand, space cheese.

Could someone please call US to have them not shoot their space missiles at me. I'm NOT North Korea!
North Korea wil never see the space whale!

Fun, but when I make it to the top of the meter and get the credits, I'd like the money for that awesome run when I continue again. Going all that way for a "grats! now start over" kinda blows.
