I really appreciate all the feedback I have gotten here and on the Dev Studio discord. I have made some changes based on your feedback and more changes are to come.

Techno Rocketeer Change Log v1.1:

-Changed the Background Art

-Moved the Character so that it will appear on the far left no matter what resolution or device you are using.

-Holding down the "Space Bar" will alow the character to continue flying up with out having to rapidly press the button.

-Improved Asteriod Art

-You can now click or press anywhere on the screen not just the "Up" button

Hi Goose,

Awesome little prototype you have here, great job on putting it together. I only gave 3 stars because it is just a prototype. So much potential to make this really fun. The coins you collect could be used to purchase new skins or maybe different backgrounds? I know it is just placeholder art at the moment but it is functional and gets the job done. Would be cool to see this become more space themed. Power-ups or something could make things more interesting and vary the gameplay a bit.

All in all a great base for what could be a really good game, well done.

Hey! Really enjoyed the prototype—great job so far! I have a few suggestions you might find interesting:

  • It would be awesome to integrate the background from the game’s page into the game itself since it looks really good. Adding a parallax effect and some particle elements could also give it more depth and atmosphere.
  • For the obstacles, perhaps you could replace them with meteorites and include animations like spinning or rotating to make the gameplay feel more dynamic and engaging.
  • Consider changing the coins to something more survival-based, like oxygen levels, so players are forced to collect them to avoid dying. You could also use fuel as an alternative resource to add a sense of urgency.
  • Lastly, adding some levels would enhance the progression and give the game a more structured feel

I agree with everything. It's a fun game. It's also a good idea to place the "UP" button in a corner and leave it semi-transparent so as not to obstruct the player's view.

A little more strength in the "jump" is also welcome.

Yes, that would be a good improvement. Thanks. Yes, the rocket does seem a bit too under powered. I will look at these changes. thanks

Excellent ideas. I will be sure to implement them in future updates. thanks!

Awesome feedback! Thank you; I will keep this in mind when I bring out the next version.

Thanks! I made some of these changes and will add more soon.

Fixed some issues with screen size. Should work on any screen now.
