First Contact

48h IOI X Epitech Game Jam 2024 Submission

Theme:
Impact.

Won:
Honorable Mention.

Overview:
You want to reach the Moon, little one? Problem is, you're a rubber duck, and your rocket is just a toy. To make matters worse, you are being overwhelmed by a storm of doubts. Only through sheer force of determination and a tap of rocket fuel will you be able to achieve your goal and make an impact

Gameplay:
Collect fuel cans, avoid stormy clouds and confused birds.
Get enough fuel for the rocket before hitting the trampoline on the ground, and you will be able to reach the Moon.

Controls:
Use MOUSE to move.

Misc.:
- Avoid obstacles to move faster;
- Time before impact with trampoline is limited (2 minutes per session), more speed means more opportunities to get fuel;
- Pick up Magnets to attract fuel cans;
- Collect at least 47 fuel cans to get a Good Ending.
