Push Space
Ever played Wario Ware? Imagine that, but in space. I've drawn on several of the real challenges facing those building up spacefaring capacity during the Space Race to create a series of little microgames controlled only using the space bar.
See how high a score you can get before losing all your lives - games will get slowly and incrementally harder as your score goes up. All games are of the "you have to do one thing" variety and although you may lose until you figure out what to do, I think they're kinda fun.
Developed for the Historically Accurate Game Jam #13.
Browser version may have some bugs I haven't found yet. Windows version available if you'd like the intended experience with no blur on the screen scaling.
Controls
- Mouse: Click option buttons
- Space: All other controls - instructions are given for each microgame.

Ok, that’s pretty neat. I laughed out loud when I launched into a bird!
