This is quite similar to our game! Good job!
controls seem counter-intuitive
Thank you for the feedback, in the future we will add some diagrams in the tutorials, as orbital mechanics are counter-intuitive indeed. The larger asteroids attract you harder but more than that they also speed you up so it might look like making an asteroid larger makes you go faster past it. The blue and red trajectories show you what will happen if you increase or decrease the size of the asteroid to make you build intuition, but we agree that in the beggining it might look a bit weird :).
It was hard to change the scale after the ship launched, but it was fun to learn! I really loved the concept of your game !
Great concept, made me crazy in it
Genius concept and good art! The tutorial is fine but when it got to the actual game it felt completely overwhelming...
Thank you so much for your nice feedback! We found that the game can be a little hard too, especially when you first play it. In the future we want to add levels in which the difficulty gets higher progressive. Overall, we'll try to smoothen the difficulty curve.
Although the game's controls are somewhat complex, the tutorial for beginners is very thoughtful and fully showcases the creativity of this game.
Very cool take on the theme, the controls took a little time getting used to, especially at run time. Overall enjoyable though, would deliver interstellar bananas again!
haha! Thank you!
The idea is very unique! Well done!
nice take on the theme, great job!
Really cool idea!
I found it pretty hard to make good use of the gravity for navigating, definitely needed the slow-mo, although maybe with some more practice I’d get the hang of it.
I also found the ui a little finicky for what it was, although the presentation of the rocket and the trajectory is really nice.
Thank you, most of our time was spent on the orbital mechanics :), the ui was put together in the last day and we weren't too happy with it either, we will redo it in the future.
Wow! this was pretty awesome! had me a bit confused though that larger, presumably more massive(?) asteroids deflect the ship less than scaled down ones, or do I miss-remember my orbital mechanics?
The larger asteroids do affect your ship more, however that doesen't translate directly into a bigger change in angle of the trajectory. As if an asteroid is larger, you also gain more speed and thus more inertia, making your trajectory more straight. The way you use the larger asteroids is by making the small at first and then increasing their size in order to dramatically change your direction without increasing speed too much.
ah! How interesting, thanks for elaborating!
Really great concept! I liked the tutorial and everything leading up to the actual gameplay.
Then, all those fruit addicted planets started asking for more and more fruits, I couldn't keep with the demand! Shame on me. In the end, I grabbed the #4 rank in the leaderboard, so I guess I wasn't that bad?
Fun game!!!
Yes, 4th rank is really not bad, especially since some of the member in our team ranked way lower :))
very well done, art simple yet effective! Physics were sooo good and the audio effects were great as well. Well done :D
I tried playing the game withou the tutorial but got overwhelmed with information and refreshed the page to go back to the menu. Than the tutorial is not very clear what the cargo holder is and I though it was the asteroids, and dragging a fruit to an asteroid was making it get bigger and I got very confused, also R wasnt doing anything and had to refresh the page to start over.
Only then I realised that the cargo holder is the slots bellow the fruits and then I learned about asteroids and how they work, once you get the hang of it, its a really cool concept, it fits the theme and its very creative! I love it.
Thank you for giving the game a second try :) Indeed we should have explained the cargo system better.
The physics is so good unlike mine. Minimal but the right amount of art, sound and effects. Also food delivery in planet is a pretty fresh idea haha. Awesome game man I enjoyed it!
Thank you, i think your physics system worked wel, from experience i know it's notoriously more difficult to have a nicely working 3d physics engine than a 2d one, especially when you start change shapes :)
An interesting concept with good execution. The art style is detailed but not overwhelming and the music definitely fits the "Space" feel. There was a small problem where selling fruit in quick succession didn't register, and finely adjusting the size of the asteroids was quite difficult, meaning I would sometimes over or undershoot the trajectory adjustment. Overall, the game was still quite enjoyable, and it was fun to try and set up optimal paths between the planets for efficient transport.
We are glad that you liked the music and art we made. Indeed there was a bug caused by the animations of the order system that we noticed too late :). Thank you for the feedback.
Really cool puzzle game! The gravity and physics were polished well.
:D
LOVE THE IDEA OF IMPLEMENTING FOOD DELIVERING IDEA TO COSMIC INTERPLANETARY DESTINATIONS.
I liked this game. The gameplay is perfectly executed, the game feels great. I want to strive to convey the same feelings and create the same atmosphere in my games.
Thank you, your comment meant a lot to us. The feel and atmosphere of your games will get better the more experience you have.
I really enjoyed play it! great concept!!
