For the 'My First Game Jam' Jam 2021

You are the last IT guy on this doomed planet.  You just backed up the last database and now it is time to escape on this rickety old thrust pod.  Get to the upper atmosphere to escape on the shuttle.  Stop along the way to refuel on platforms.  Sidewalls equal death.  Land on a platform or ground too hard you die as well.

Oh man! This one made me sweat a little! Fun physics, very rewarding when you finally get a hang of it and reach space.

Thanks!

Whew, this one is tough! I managed to get to the 4th platform but I either run out of fuel or crash! Fun game though, it reminds of Lunar Lander on Atari.

Thanks for playing. Yeah, reverse Lunar Lander was my base idea.

I managed to get to outer space :D. It's very hard, but kinda fun, kept me trying to get to the end. The controls feel good, it takes a while to get used to them but I when did I felt it was a cool control system.

Thanks.  I spent a majority of my time tweaking the controls.  You should have seen my early experiments :)
