I was hoping that it would tell me how many probes I wasted trying to take those damn pictures... and it did! 166 probes for 16 polaroids, I don't think NASA will be hiring me anytime soon. Ah well. Super interesting little puzzle game. It got really satisfying in the later puzzles to try and get the perfect orbit where the probe circled the entire map like twice on it's route to get all the pics.

This is incredible. Great idea, excellent execution. Very impressed by the polish. How does this not have more votes already?

Wow this game is so well polished! Feels like a game you could release as is. Love the pixel art and all the little effects.

I thought the concept was great and the puzzles were really fun. Started to feel too difficult though and got frustrating having to make little tweaks to the planets, watch the whole flight sim, and then repeat over and over. I made it to level 7 before I gave up haha

Maybe adding the ability to make the flight sim go 2x, 4x, or 8x, speed might make it more enjoyable

Awesome game! and thanks for reviewing Cell Life :)

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Adding a speed up (or maybe just destryoing the probe?) sounds like a good idea!

Yeah just letting me end the flight sim early would work too. A lot of times I knew it wasn't gonna work but had to watch the whole thing anyway

This game has phenomenal game feel. The puzzles were great too, and so was the interpretation of the theme. Great work!

Really satisfying to get satellites in place. One bug: It doesn’t clear pictures when you resend a satellite, so you can eliminate planets from the path once you have a picture.

Thanks for playing! That's actually not a bug but a feature (hehe). It's significantly harder to get all planets in one launch - if you want to try, just check the "Hard Mode" box in in the menu.

This was an amazing game. An amazing take on the theme. I enjoyed it very much.

I can tell you put a ton of work into it. The art, the gravity mechanic, both are amazing. Great job! Please rate our game as well!

Developer

Thanks a bunch! Will definitely check it out!
