Really cool and unique concept, and the game felt really complete for a game jam game! The gameplay is a little trial-and-error, but other than that this is a really fun and enjoyable game.

What a cool game.

Completely lost myself trying to do level 8, 849/1000 was my best 😫 Good game!

The possibilities are limitless, so fun to play, YET SO HARD to complete (finished 4 levels)
I wonder how long did it take you to test the levels (wonder if you did) xD

This is an interesting concept but clearly too complicated in my opinion! While it is fun to toy around throwing meteors around, it's just to hard to find the right combination of speed, angle and starting position. I always end up going for trial & error until I find something that kinda works and repeat it several times; doesn't feel very satisfying so I didn't finish the game.

It's still a great job that fits the theme though!

Yeah, the game is bit too much of spamming and could benefit a bit of more control. 🙂

I wish there had been an onscreen grid or perhaps shadows of where you last released asteroids, cool game though

Developer

Yeah, I fully agree on this. I think planetary orbits should also be visible and maybe stop the time during the mouse drag.

Great little sim game, love the concept and execution! Would have been nice to have some visual cues for the heavier planets

I managed to get a stable orbit that just kept going on my last atempt a few times, super fun to get a stable orbit and succeed on the last atempt! Great stuff!

Really simple to understand, and gets fairly difficult after just a few levels -- really good game!
