Story

Russia has been in a long war with The West for many years, and the Russians have finally finished working on the super weapon to win the war for them: a rocket with an advanced AI computer brain. Only, they did not expect what would happen. The rocket developed a conscience, and learned that it was a weapon meant to destroy Western Civilization; so it turned on its creators and vowed to destroy them instead.

Controls

Use the mouse cursor to guide and steer the rocket. The rocket will automatically accelerate until it reaches top speed! Smash into enemies to kill them, but be careful not to go too slow... Grind on the checkered booster walls to gain speed faster or grind on the concrete walls to slow down, but don't hit at too sharp of an angle! Left click to do a side punch with the rocket fists powerup! As you fly, you use fuel. Smash into fuel pickups to gain more fuel. Kill all enemies to win!

really embodies the "you are the weapon" theme since you are the rocket. the controls take a bit to get used. personally not a fan of mouse controls but I get what you were trying to do.

the level design/aesthetics drew me in just because it looked like minesweeper tiles.

This is fun! The movement is a bit disorientating, but it's a great challenge trying to guide the rocket to the targets while avoiding obstacles and enemy attacks.

Thanks! We've improved the movement, but the jam version is kinda stuck in time. What exactly do you find disorienting about the movement? And what do you think is the most fun?

It's difficult to explain. It makes me feel a little nauseous when changing directions. I also get terribly sick if I play anything in VR, so it's probably just a me thing. The funnest part is perfectly landing a hit on an enemy. it gives a real strong "HA, GOTCHA!" feeling.

This game is pretty good with a learning curve. It took some time to adjust as I don't usually play something like this but it kept me entertained for awhile!

Thanks for playing! I'm glad it was entertaining. What was your most and least favorite mechanics of the game?
