So Long

A tribute to Douglas Adams and Kerbal Space Program. The dolphins (the second-most intelligent species on Earth) are fed up with recent developments in the world of humans (the third-most intelligent species on Earth), and have decided to leave the planet for bluer pastures.

Due to a lack of time and energy this weekend, I'm wrapping this up quickly on Monday morning and submitting it in the Open division. It's just a sandbox instead of a full game, but it does work: you can build a rocket and fly it. There are only Earth and the Moon, and they don't move. The Moon is somewhere up and to the right; if you achieve a soft landing without losing any parts, let's consider that a win.

Planned features that didn't make it in:

• More different rocket parts …
• … unlocked by picking them up on other planets and moons …
• … which actually move in their orbits …
• … with the goal being to achieve escape velocity from the Sun's gravity well.

Also, sound and music, an intro screen, and so on.
