good game!

i like playing these types of games. there are definitely a lot of upgrade options which is good, but its relatively easy to buy the most expensive and build what seems to be the best you can get really early on. upgrades that you can activate in-flight or even an interactive environment would give it a more palyer interactive or random aspect to game play. nice work though man!

Hmm..

ok i've been playing around with it for a few good hours. i think it's a great idea. but.. i think it's a bit lacking. The diversity of the parts wasn't always apparent. The only thing that made me feel a part was good was by how expensive it is. some stats would be cool. i didn't like that you couldn't change parts of your rocket. and it didn't really have very many physics that i'd hoped it would. when the rocket gets close to how high it will go it kinda acts liek it hit a wall and doesn't slow down. wind would be a cool factor. but i gotta say it was one hell of a time waster lol and i mean that in a good way. i think if you take what you have now and maybe work on it a bit you'll have something front page worthy.

awesome

easily worth my time and a good time waster, if only more games were like this.

Great!

The graphics were very good, and the music and sound well put together, but there's still room for improvement. Maybe add more of a challenge to launching the rocket to break up the monotony, like how the "Learning to Fly" game has you control your angle and stuff in flight. Maybe give the player deployable upgrades, like extra engines they can fire off in flight. If you have a player simply launching rockets repetitively over and over again, there's little motivation to keep going for more upgrades.

Oh, and please add the option to mute sound effects. I have a roommate that likes to study.

Hero mode?

The game itself is fine, but I couldn't get hero mode to work. I can buy all of the items to build a rocket out of, but I can't actually build a rocket. I hope you fix this because I would like to come back and play!

Hi there! Everything works here is what you do! You have to have 1 of each part including an engine but you don't have to have the stickers. Then click build, enter a name click the parts to build the rocket, add each part then hit finalize at the top of the rocket, then you can select it to launch. I tried to explain this in the instructions but I guess I didn't do such a good job! Thanks for the comment!
