Thanks for your feedback! One can use WASD to move the camera, which seemed more natural and realistic than the ability to control time, but considering we’ve got quite a lot of feedback like that, we’ll consider adding something to minimize wait times when planets orbit. Thanks for playing our game!
I didn't use Kepler Laws for the planets, it was just RotateAround(); for the projectiles I used Newton's law of universal gravitation. The purple and white projectiles did appear in the instructions (I'm gonna put those images at the end of the reply). You can use WASD to move the camera (also in the instructions) and go for planets that are far away. Thanks for the feedback btw!
I didn't explain myself well.
I saw the instructions. I read them carefully. I knew exactly what the purple and white things did.
The problem was, the colors themselves didn't resonate with me. Why does purple promote atmospheric density? That's why I was looking for some techno-babble to hang my immersion on. eg: purple projectiles are filled with neutronium anti-particles which will eliminate the ozone layer on a planet. The jargon could be anything, really. Red and blue are obviously hot and cold, so they don't have the same problem.
But it's cool if you don't want to have that in the game.
Regarding the camera. I knew about moving the camera, but that didn't change the point of origin for the shot, so it made more sense to wait until the planet came around.
Thanks for your feedback! I'll pass on your music concerns to void. I agree with most said, and we would have spent more time on individual level design as well as external functionality to make it more engaging give more time. I will try to prioritize those in the future. Thanks for playing our game!
I'm sorry if I can't quite bring this one subtle other then to just... lay into it, but this is my audio feedback.
The music is a rythmic synthpad, 7 8th notes with only 1 upwards variation of what sounds to be a sine wave, paired with a very strong bass that seem wholly unrelated to each other. There's no chord progression, no clear sense of scales used, Just random notes on a way too short loop.
The rythm of the high hats was very random and didn't seem to serve much purpose in terms of music.
And all of this would've been more forgivable if it was more ambient background noise, but with how sharp those random notes of that bass cut through the rest it gets kindoff annoying to listen to.
Music, like coding is just something that.. if you don't know how to do it, won't work.
Thanks for your feedback! Random fact: I ended up spending more time on the title music then the main music. Probably a mistake! I'll take your feedback into consideration when composing but I think I did an OK job for my first time as a game sound designer. Me and the rest of the team had different times ones and because I had a pretty full schedule I ended up making the main track in roughly two hours. I know that's enough time for some but I work slow. Anyways I'm rambling on, thanks for playing our game!

It's in the instructions, fire projectiles are used on frozen planets and ice projectiles are used on volcanic planets. You can also hit planets even if they're far away but yeah I get your point, didn't have enough time to balance the speed of planets. For the physics I just used the gravitational attraction formula.
