Over The Moon
The ultimate Bovine Space Program. Tired of being reduced to a nursery rhyme punchline, one cow is determined to make the jump, even if it means building a rocket from barnyard scraps.
Inspired by classic launcher games like Learn to Fly; launch, earn, and upgrade your rocket in a bid to jump the moon.
Over The Moon was written and designed by Ross McCormick.
The music was composed by Ross McCormick.
The game is written entirely in Pico-8.

fun!
It’s amazing how the upgrade-launch game is represented one-dimensionally with just a single key!
And the cow inside the barrel rocket was so cute — I really loved it!
This is a recording from my stream! (=^･ω･^=)
Good one, nice ending too hahaha. I hope you can post it on pico-8 BBS!
Thanks! The game is available on Pico-8 BBS now
awesome!
what if learn to fly was the best game ever made
Great and cute! You're really good at making games ! I hope you had as much fun making this as I did playing it.
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it
Great game! It might have been nice to have a little more variation in the sky as I was leveling up. But it kept my attention long enough to see how each upgrade would help.
I thought about that too, also the cow being totally frozen while traveling at high speeds was weird, a little speed based animation of the cow also would be nice. Just details the game is awesome as it is.
Thanks for playing Kevin! I was planning on adding some obstacles to dodge in the sky once your rockets were sufficiently upgraded (like chickens in hot air balloons, or pigs using hang-gliders) but unfortunately I was too short on tokens!
