Engines & Earl Grey by Temmy
Kingdom Brunel was on his way to an afternoon tea party when he landed on the wrong planet. With his rockets energy levels running low it looked like he was going to be stuck! Luckily for him, the planet he landed on has a rather odd weather system; it rains energy crystals.
Re-power the rocket before it completely runs out!

Objective
Collect energy crystals matching what is required at the top of the screen. If you collect the wrong one then the sequence will reset. Every time you complete a sequence the rocket gets more power.
Controls
Movement: RIGHT / LEFT Jump: SPACEBAR

Love the music and style :)
The music remind me one from Sam & Max : https://youtu.be/TjFMqbBPspk?t=27m39s
:D
Hopefully that suits you!
Moreover, making 'not' on the list' forms darker would have added readability.
The art is simple but charming and the music is nice too. Sl
solid entry :smile:
The graphics are very good, I like the color palette, this gives the game a touch of Gameboy® :-)
The gameplay and controls are solid, it is not the most innovative game but it is actually much fun and the atmosphere is great.
Thanks for putting up the web version, it works without problems. Keep up the good work!
RNG gods were not on his side that evening thus Isambard spend most of it catching crystals. That rocket has massive idle power draw, not the greatest engineering there Isambard!
Simple, fun, charming. The music could have been a bit less low-fi for my taste. Fine job!
