About This Game

Launch a 1-bit rocket off the pad and see how far into the black you can push it. Once the countdown ends you are fighting two things at once: a drift force that re-rolls roughly every second and grows stronger the higher you climb, and a stage gauge that fills in about five seconds.

When it tops out, the window to drop that booster is only about a second wide, and hesitating detonates it and ends the flight on the spot.

Each clean separation dumps a hard kick of speed into the rocket plus a short burst of extra thrust, and you carry only three. After the last one you are on final orbit, coasting on base thrust against gravity and drag until you stall and fall.

Thrust only counts in the direction the nose points, so a leaning rocket climbs slowly and tips past roughly 77 degrees into a crash. Your score is the highest altitude you ever touched.

Game Tips

🚀 Tilting leaks thrust — staying vertical IS altitude.
💥 Separate the moment the gauge fills — waiting gains you nothing.
🌬️ The wobble grows the higher you climb — tame it early with small corrections.
