Fun concept, but the physics were a little off for me. Still, I'd like to revisit if they were recalibrated to be a little bit more forgiving (i.e. docking was easier), or if there maybe was a way to regain health.

I think there's a really cool idea here, but balancing is a little off still. I think that being more forgiving with the docking of components, having more time or better control over the pieces may be good to review. But it's really fun nonetheless.

Really fun game, very satisfying when those docking ports line up just right! I ended up getting soft locked a couple times after getting nothing but end pieces which was a bit of a bummer. Crashing into incoming pieces to deflect them from the station was a really fun strategy, until I then had to control that piece and had to fly it all the way back! 

Personally, I feel like having the ability to switch between pieces on the fly (once they're within a certain distance) would be a fun addition as you'd get the opportunity to organise more advantageous layouts at the cost of risking spinning too many plates.

An offscreen indicator for incoming pieces would be great too.

Overall, a great submission, had a lot of fun playing it! Congrats.

It was very difficult to gain control of my ship, once I started spinning. I tried spinning the other way to counter balance, but then I started spinning non stop in that direction, the concept was pretty good, could use some tweaks to the control,

Rather fiddly, but reminds me of kerbal space program :)

i love the mechanic and its one of the more creative ideas i've seen in this jam! the game rewards practice and patience and it's got lots of replayability. good work!

I'm glad you liked it! We had a lot more ideas for the game that we couldn't pack into it with 48 hours 😅 Happy to hear the main mechanic was enjoyable.

It's a cool idea, it took me a few plays to get the hang of controlling the pieces and lining them up to build the station, because the controls weren't totally intuitive  to me (since you're rotating whenever you're moving)

I like this one, very zen. Cue the interstellar music

Edit: I actually came back to play more of this, I think this had something special

Thanks! when we playtested, we would get distracted and play for longer than we should've, so I'm glad we're not the only ones that enjoy it!

Nice job! It's a little difficult until you get the hang of things haha. I'm glad you enjoyed 😊
