This was a blast. Excellent work.
I guess great minds think alike eh?
Really cool Game design and art!
Awesome game.
Omg this is so similar to ours :) Great work, i think i prefer your pacing. Also very interesting that we used the same modified gravity force formula i think :)
Thanks for playing. I appreciate this! Here's the formula we used:
I suppose it's not the same one you used but the effect is pretty similar.
We did aproximatly f = multiplier * planet_mass / distance. but the spirograph-looking orbits seem to occur for both of us and i think that's quite interesting :)
Really cool idea!
It would be great if there was a respawn timer. Often you have to perform an action just as the black screen fades out. Added to the fact that there is no "restart" button, it makes it a bit frustrating.
Thanks for the feedback! We're glad you like the idea.
There is actually a respawn option - you can access it by opening the pause menu with the escape button. We agree that some areas could use slight tweaks, but due to tight deadlines, we weren't able to address everything. We'll keep this in mind for future updates.
Oh ok!
For some reason this does not work for me, but I use a weird keyboard setup so maybe inputs are no as they seem.
Definitively a good game. I feels weird to have the mouse perfectly hovering the planet while you move and ur camera is following the ship. Plus sometimes you while you could change quicker the gravity.
But the feeling is amazing, such a great game ! thx
Thank you for the kind words! We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the game.
We understand that the mouse hover and camera movement can feel a bit odd at times, and we appreciate the feedback on gravity control. These are points we'll definitely look to tweak in upcoming updates. We're glad the overall experience still feels great to you. Thanks for playing!
I really like the idea, though at least for me it needs some tweaks because it felt too hard not always in a challenging way but in a chaotic way. I think it's a bit too fast, and having to change the trajectory while the rocket is moving but not being able to predict exactly how it will turn out can cause a lot of errors that feel frustrating.
But overall I enjoyed it, it's a fun mechanic and the art is charming, nice job.
Yeah, I agree about the "chaotic" bit. It's something that definitely needs some tweaking but we ran out of time. Thanks for the feedback.
Nice concept. Waiting for more levels to play even more 😊
(tbh last level wasn't that easy)
Good music, good concept and art, I really enjoyed figuring out the different paths. It's really hard though, like the first level is not easy at all, becomes easier after the first one.
Looking forward to more mechanics or the ability to increase the gravity of certain planets more!
Well done!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm quite surprised how the first level was the hardest one for you but I guess everyone learns the game at their own pace.
