Hello.....it is a complete game. In addition, it is a nice game. Sure!!!

GAMEPLAY: 2/5

Simple gameplay but very hard to tell where player is going to end up. I would often click on a star thinking my alien would set a trajectory for the star, only to launch in a completely different direction and vanish into space. 

CREATIVITY: 5/5

Very creative game. This is the type of game I could see being played on a smartphone. Made it to level 6.

GRAPHICS/SOUND/POLISH: 4/5 

Great music and sound effects.

Backgrounds are a  little boring.


OVERALL: 80%

This game tied with NYDIA for being my favorite game of this Game Jam. This game has a nice casual feel to it and would be much more fun to play with more reliable game mechanics.

thanks for the feedback 40W.

i should have made it clear that, at the start of a given level, the ship will direct toward wherever you click/tap. IE, launch in that direction. once the ship is in orbit, it will revolve around the planet; click to escape orbit at the ship's current velocity. ie, the angle/direction that it's currently moving in. i hope that clears the controls up? i've edited the project page to make the controls a bit more clear.

otherwise, thanks for playing :)
