Mad respect for programming orbital physics in a game jam, that's no easy feat in a week. Idea's really cool I love puzzle games like this, nice work! Also found it funny that the game scolded me for not reading the tutorial lol.
Real question is: would you play game like this but with better graphics and with much more levels. Well with more mechanics too, like different hole sizes, ability to temporary patch hole, etc? :)
Yeah I think so!
Great, than I will inform you when I realize this in fully fledged game :)

The synopsis is hilarious about making a hole into the astronaut suit to change the trajectory hehe :) I like how you integrated gravity physics into your game with trajectory prediction. Good job!
You can check out devlog topic on forum(linked on the game page), there is my thought chain that hatched in that idea :)

Absolutely outstanding!
I know the background calculations behind this, so I know how tricky it can be to achieve this precalculated trajectory feature.
Well done!
I actually cheated a little bit with that trajectory thing. It's simulated, not calculated. I just running my calculations 1000 ticks ahead of real time and record points where the astronaut ends up and then literally "connect the dots" :)
Haha, but you did it. The result is what counts.

A bit confusing but very unique!
Thank you :)

Nice game! I didn't know you could rotate around the moon without consuming too much oxygen! i've probably skipped a part of the tutorial :ppp
It was not in tutorial :)
Then I was the discoverer of it :OO
Cool game :))
Thank you :)

The tutorial isn't a tutorial but something like a story. Didn't read tho, too much text for me :D Creative idea, simple, but nice graphics.
Well, if you managed to play with out reading it -then great :)

The game really misses some sounds!
I agree, but as I said before: I was not equipped with set of skills required for a good sound effects and was not going to mess up game with bad ones.
Anyway, thank you for your comment, I will fix it in Steam version.

Now with sounds and soundtrack ;)
Great concept, I like the creative spin on the idea. Although I didn't get very far, it seems like a fun game. I will add though, that the target is a bit hard to spot at first, since it blends pretty well with the background.
Overall, I really like your UI. I think it catches the point of the game pretty well.
It would've been more fun with some sounds, since it would make it feel more alive.
I agree, I messed up with target :) Will fix it after Jam. It worked well enough in fullscreen mode, but not in browser.

Nice idea, I just wish I could abort the hole punching if the trajectory doesn't work out, but I guess that would make it too easy.
You can press restart to well... Restart :)

A nice game requiring thinking skills. Would have been nice if it had audio but well done
Did you managed to complete all 12 levels? :)
No, i think i made it to level 3 and just raged quit because of my small brain
Give it a chance, it's kinda easy, if you give it more tries ;) After all I managed to make my mother to play and solve it all :)
Did you realized that some solutions require you to let time to go for some time(lol) and then stop it and plan your move?

Very awesome UI design. It was fun watching the little space man go, but I never succeeded haha. Really cool idea with the UI showing the orbit path. Good job on the theme, perhaps a leaking air sound would make the poking a hole effect more noticeable. Nice simple and clean graphics. I guess you had no time for audio? Maybe update it with audio after the jam :) Great job submitting a game to the jam! Please check out mine when you have time :)
I actually surprised that you liked my UI :) I am never happy with my art, I only hope people will like gameplay.
Regarding sound... There is no sound in space ;) Ok, jokes aside - I was thinking about breathing and air hissing sounds but after roaming free sound sites for some time I did not found sounds that was sounding like those in my head. :) So I decided to go completely silent. BTW - the only thing that are not made by me in game is background stars, everything else is mine :)
In case if you guys and gals will like that game(regardless of it's final score), after jam I am going to rebuild it based on 3d graphics with fixed camera orientation, find someone who knows his way around sound tweaking to make sounds that I want and publish it on Steam.
Surely I will check out your game, I going to play random game until list is depleted :)
