Pico-8 Game Jam thing  Updated to a working prototype.

A dude, a dream...
 A homemade rocket built with spare parts.
  I am going to the moon!


 Blast off in a rocket destined for outer space. Collect fuel cells to stay moving, and avoid asteroids and other obstacles. How high can you go? Adventure mode has an end point where you get to the moon as fast as possible, while endless mode, is well, endless.

Initially created for the Apollo Game jam. I've also added it to the "Finish your Game 2022 jam" from Pigsquad. https://itch.io/jam/finishyourgamejam2022

Controls:

 - Left // Right: Steering
 - Up: Accelerate. This can be used to dodge obstacles. At a certain speed, you can destroy obstacles and go far. However it uses up more fuel.

 - Down: Brakes. Slows down acceleration.

 - (X) // (O): Confirm//Cancel.

Things Added to the Finish Your Game Jam 2022;

* Added an explosion when dying.

*Added an adventure, and an endless mode. These also adjust the difficulty.

*Adventure mode has an ending at Elevation 9.0000 where you land on the moon (I intend to make this part fancier later).

* Under the hood, the randomization has been altered and the difficulty has been altered significantly. The game should get slightly harder between lvl elevations.

*Added 2 more songs to the rotation and implemented a couple of SFX.

*Scores have been partially implemented. There's a scoreboard and some and a few points to be tallied. However, getting the high scores hasn't quite been implemented. Implementing cartdata is still a WIP.

*Theres an issue with the web export that doesn't reset the game when dying (instead it goes to the score page, and the death screen). This is only in the web export and not in the cart of pico8 itself. It's something I'm trying to figure out.

I still don't think its quite finished, but there's been a lot of progress. At this point, the main thing I want to add (aside from scoring) are about 2-3 more obstacles, and at least one power-up.
