In this game you have to use items to get to the marked tasks as fast as possible during the countdown in order to get into the rocket. Lonely Launch is a game where you setup a path in order to do the tasks to launch a rocket to the moon. You have 100 seconds from ignition to complete all tasks again. This game was made in 4 days for the GMTK game jam in 2026.

EMAIL/TUTORIAL

hello Intern,

as you may know the launch is today and there was an unexpected outbreak of hangovers from last nights work party you weren't invited to (you're welcome) so everyone is unable to come in.

you know the protocol i think. (?)

we forgot our keycards around the silo last night so you should be able to open the doors if not feel free to use some of the hammers to find some new routes through the windows. theres some other stuff lying about but youre handy youll  figure that stuff out im sure.

all our tasks are pretty simple we dont do much, just go around checking each task before initiating launch sequence at the top. once the launch is activated youll have to go back around and finish off the tasks before it takes off. but CAREFUL! my task on the third floor, metal platform, very close to the rocket, must be finished off TWICE after a 20 second delay!

thats really about it.

edit: the astronauts are off too so were gonna need you to get up to the rocket window after youve done all the tasks we'll figure out what to do from there

NOTES

Godot physics is a bit buggy so items may clip through the floor when placed down. In the event of a soft-lock; open the pause menu and restart. Also the audio is a bit messed up on web; if it is a big issue then just download the windows/linux build. Also web has a tenancy to be a bit stuttery so if that is also an issue, download the game instead.
