Really fun! Love simple games like this that take full advantage of the fluidness of the Playdate's crank. Wagging the rocket up and down feels so perfect -- its fun even on the pre-launch screen   ðŸ˜‚

Very smooth gameplay and attention to detail.  I like how you change the scroll speed according to the direction.

Congratulations !

Thank you!

I'm loving this one more than it's original influence, the smoothness makes it much more enjoyable. Good job!

I'm glad you like it! :)
