Great game, its so cool. I actually started messing around skipping the easy solutions and sending the rocket ships on a little round trip :D The levels with just one rocket are very straight forward, but as soon as there is 2 or 3 it gets really really cool. I feel like limiting the amount of planets might make the scaling more of a factor, right now i feel like i opted for more planets instead of less, scaled planets.

Edit: I wish itch would let me upload an image rn. I want to share the monstrosities i created :D

Developer

Hey, in the windows and mac builds, there is a level editor. you can submit your creations there :p

SO COOL! i like the ui, so clean *chef's kiss*. Good job!

Developer

Thanks, glad you liked it!

really nice concept gj

This was really well done. There must have been a TON of math going into this, especially the white prediction line. Great job!

Developer

Thank you.

Wish the planets pulled each other! Also cool camera angles would be cool :)

Really great atmosphere, nice job!

Great minds think alike eh?

Submitted

Space ♥

Really cool atmosphere. The game is polished !

Feedback, I didn't get at first you could scale the size of the elements (and the sensitivity is too high).

It could be great to force the player use this mechanic during the first levels as a tutorial ♥

Yeah, we noticed the controls videos are not playing on the web build. sadly we noticed it too late.

Amazing visuals. The sounds are fantastic, some ambience would be cool, but I suppose space has no sound.

Hello!! I just have to say that this is without any doubt the game that I enjoy the most... No words for it... In most games of the jam that I played I didnt even finish them.. but I did your 15 levels. Maybe its just that space and gravity stuff are really interesting things to me, but so far my favourite game.

The visuals, interface and sound effects fits perfectly the style. The only thing that I missed was some background space sound (not necesarily music) to avoid those silent levels. 

Anyways, congratulations to the devs, 5 stars.

Thank you :)

Wow! Incredible game in all aspects. art direction, sound and music design, level design, it all comes together in a symphony. This is an amazing concept executed perfectly. Great job!

Developer

Thanks you :)

First off, not a game dev.

I'm afraid I had no idea whatsoever what I was doing in this game, and the lack of instructions, and lack of access to more modes of play made that impossible. It looks like it has great potential, but I'm not really quite sure of what it is, or what I'm supposed to do. I think if you were to add some instructions, the "Enjoyable" score would go from one star to at least four.

Developer

Hey Lifestream, Thanks for playing, i am not sure what you mean by lack of instructions, The controls in the menu explain how to play the game.

The goal of the game is quite simple, bend the trajectory of the space ship using stars/planets to reach the target.

I do apologise, but I had trouble figuring that out. Maybe I'm just not cut out for this game. Sorry about my earlier comment...

Really cool art and fun game! i love it. just one thing, a button on the keyboard to start the simulation would be great

Developer

Thanks for playing
