So I decided to go through the coding being the geek that I am, and I am currently crying\laughing\wtf'ing myself to sleep trying to figure out why this is in here!
very frustrating, I love it (not a massacaust)
Hey LF I know you probably wont see this but, I wanted to "remake" this game and add some twists to it for a class project? I wanted to twist it up with like gold to by more rockets with more boost, skins, online battle to see who could get the most points, etc! I just wanted to get your permission first before I did it! If not can I still make the game just for myself and some buddys to play it? Not to upload on anything?

Sure, go for it! This was also a student project meant to remake a game, so have fun!
Thanks so much and have a great day!
Cool game, but I just tested it on a 144hz monitor and it's way too fast, like unplayable.
Hi LF, I'd like to see if it is possible to license and integrate Rocketpult into our competitive games platform for hyper casual titles. Please feel free to email on sam.turner@met.events thanks!
1. you can still use slowmo when out of fuel
2. did anyone take off while on the ground ?
Try this one
Beat my high score!
Great game. However, I've noticed that if you get to an altitude of 6,000+ then start spinning with slow-motion enabled, your angular velocity will surpass the limit of 5,400. At this speed, you can hold the turn button for about 20 seconds. Once you let go of the slow-motion button, you explode and it will say you tipped over.
How did you realize this
Great game.
Very fun and addicting.
Do I have a good Personal Best Score? Also, whats the world record in this game?
uhhhhh this happened please help I found a glitch
I finally did this without arrow keys!
I just did too, but I used slow motion so I guess I cheated
This is an awesome idea! I wish I could download it and play whenever!
landed on a 3 star... still doesn't say that I've landed even after 30 minutes to an hour
Challenge: see how far you can go without using arrow keys.
Lol
I got 10m
I got 21,000m
999
Came from the announcement. I wonder what's coming.
scratch that I just saw 1m
Also, yeah, it would be cooler if you added platforms and obstacles in the sky. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the game!
Great game! I like how the closer you fly to the platforms, the shakier the screen gets, it adds a cool effect to the game. Nice Job!
I've broken 1 million!
i found a glitch - if you hold down the up arrow when beginning a new game it lets you move for free
You still use fuel, there's just no animation.
Great game!
High score 246560
Tip-GO far then land on a gold pad
high score 106240
highest score 81755
It is great but needs to be easier to land
If you just go super high, when you start arcing down after running out of fuel you can just keep spinning which gets you a ton of points
Really great game! Loved the modern and old fashioned tech in one game!
my highscore for this game is 68050
here's a suggestion. You could make it so it doesn't stop when underwater, so you could make it so if you were able to go under the platforms and out again, you would get more points. you could also add obstacles in the sky, too, like birds and planes, maybe hovering landing platforms?
I found a bug. If you press and hold space when you start, it will just drop to the ground and not explode. you can take off like that. (you should keep this though, its kinda fun to do) really fun game! if you were to port it to mobile I would download it.
