Rocket Launch Game to the Moon

This is a game that only has one button for controls. It does have a language changer and a panel side switch, tho. 3 difficulties. Try to get to the moon!

Balance pressure and forward thrust, else your rocket might explode or crash.

Built only with JavaScript and TailwindCSS.

Might need a bit of rework for some mobile screen sizes. Also, might look awful on older browsers. Please let me know if any display errors. Firefox or Chrome should work best.

New release version 0.2.2! 
 
New Features:
-Added real thrust to the system, moving the rocket
-Added gravitational pull which reduces with altitude
-Added a settings panel to the splash menu
-Added more challanging pressure-target adjustments mid flight
-Commander Difficulty is now more difficult (max pressure limit - red-bar croaching close to max pressure target green-area)
-Admiral Difficulty is now more difficult (longer distance to moon, randomized pressure-target-area adjustments, plus max pressure red-bar croaching closer)
-Config values are now all in one place in the code, for each difficulty

Bugfixes:
-Screen Size no longer prevents running out of velocity
-Resizing Screen Size no longer puts the rocket back to starting position
-Thrust now reliably controls vehicle movement velocity
-Distance to the moon no longer related to screen size
-Newly added Gravity-Calculation safeguards for a thrust break-even, which means pressure targets never go below what's required to get to the moon
