LyftOff! by mcapraro
LyftOff! Connecting Worlds throughout the Galaxy!
Space taxis just aren't cutting it for these modern aliens, so help them get to their destinations with a lovely pink-mustachioed rocket ferry!
My son and both have comp entries, and this is our third LD. This game was a race to the finish! I started out in Unity, then fell back to Flash, then back to unity, then to flash again. probably not the best time to try and get better at unity!
Anyway, lots and lots left to do - the rocket didnt even make it in yet! hope you like it and have fun!

I really enjoyed the aliens expression.
Also, nice work on the graphics, flat and efficient.
To sum up, a really nice start for a game!
I super-confused myself the first couple times I tried to play this though. If you get an assignment, and then click on several wrong planets in a row, you wind up getting multiple new assignments. So as someone is trying to figure out the game, suddenly your map is scrolling around randomly giving you new assignments that you can't possibly click on fast enough. It gets really out of hand! Seems like the game needs to take measures to ensure you only have one assignment at a time.
I also would have liked some alternative scrolling controls. Mouse-edge scrolling is really hard to use when you're playing a non-full-screen game, so enabling some WASD and/or arrow keys would have been nice.
This is a great start for a very cute game!
(I like start screen, why the ship isn't in the game...)
(Tell your son he should be proud of himself as his game is very well put together)
