Interesting game idea. It was really funny when in the slingshot level my rocket missed the spaceport only to go around all the planets and then dock on the second pass.

Submitted

Really cool, though the third level is a nightmare. I liked the "lore" idea behind it. :) I would probably play a longer version of this. :)

Submitted

Oooh, so infuriating (in a good way) when you just miss that space station.  Really struggled on the level with the planets all in a row, trying to thread the needle.

Oh snap! I didn't ever realize you could beat that level like that. The intent was to slingshot around the big planet on the left!

Great concept. Agree that each level requires a bit of trial and error to understand how gravity affects the trajectory of the ship, but had a lot of fun regardless.

Submitted

I love gravity used as a puzzle element. This was done really well! If you polish this up you could make a really addicting game!

I can see where the concept was going and I enjoyed the idea, however I feel that the implementation needed a bit of polish. I enjoyed how you introduced the gravity of planets into the mix to add puzzle elements, however how the gravity affected the ship was never particularly clear and I found myself relying heavily on trial and error to get through levels.

Very cool idea. Really liked it. The music is also great. This could be expanded in the future. I would improve the Interface and controls.

Submitted

The game good, but a little complicated to begin and understand all the controls

I would love if you could play an rate ou game as well https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/462492

Nice idea, a little polish would make this really great but it's a good concept and I enjoyed playing it! :)

This is a neat idea and game. Though I couldn't tell if planets had gravitational fields like mario galaxy o not. If thy do, I think you could make it easier to tell but if they don't I think it could be a cool idea to implement if you want to develop this further 

cool music

Really cool Idea and a pretty challenging game too.

Submitted

I did not get to the end. I wish there was the ingame tutorial showing step by step how to control the rocket. The controls should be more precised or maybe you wanted it to be that hard? However - good job and wish you luck with your next games : )

Submitted

Really cool! I couldn't get to the end because of the difficulty but had plenty of fun, quite a genious concept.

Submitted

Very cool game and pretty difficult!

A fun and challenging physics puzzler. I spent way more time than I would like to admit just because it was addicting trying to get past those planets. With some polish and more precise controls could be a fun mobile game. Great job!

Thanks! I had a good time with Rise of Cthulhu as well!
