The movement is quite satisfying when you manage to pull it off! very nice entry, congrats!

Thanks! It took a while to tune the parameters to make it hard but not impossible. Thanks for the feedback :D

Physics games can be awesome! I liked it, but wished I could have a little bit more control over my spaceship. Just a little bit. Maybe? Perhaps? Still fun though.

Indeed, I did not have enough time to add mechanics! I have a few ideas in the works though to make it more controllable...

I found it a bit confusing at first, but I soon got into the flow!  You might want to use enemy spaceships instead of planets,  as that could make the game a bit more clear.

Really engaging physics game with a lot of hidden difficulty and cool graphics/music!

Developer

Thanks :D

Aha, fancy seeing you here! I daresay we'll accidentally enter the same jam again in the future haha

Nice game! Once I got the hang of it I was really enjoying myself.  Hardest part was not killing myself on my own bombs haha

Developer

Yes, there's a certain nack to it I think :D

Really good concept, really tough to get very far in. Really beautifully polished

Developer(+1)

I appreciate that ^^

Really cool concept! Possibly add a few ways to have more control over the turning of the ship, to better allow for some slinging, possibly some ways to tie other objects together too? Overall really cool

Developer

Both cool ideas to extend the game! I have a few ideas for improving the movement system that I didn't incorporate due to time restrictions

It's really cool! Tough, but it got me hooked :D Got much easier when I realized i can also attract bombs, not just planets!

Developer

Thanks! Yes, perhaps I should have made that clearer
