I felt like I needed more feedback on my controls, perhaps a note on the side saying what I had currently grabbed onto. Looks really cool, but I didn't quite get what I was meant to be doing once I grabbed things, throw them out of orbit? or burn them up in the atmosphere? Fun flying around in space though!
I agree that it needs more feedback. I focused too much on the visuals and not enough on the actual gameplay. The goal is indeed to change their orbit so they burn up in the atmosphere, without burning up yourself. The game is kind of broken though, as sometimes debris spawns in an orbit that already crosses the atmosphere. Those are still added to your score. If you are too far away, debris can despawn even though you've correctly changed its orbit so it would've gone into the atmosphere. Anyway, great that you enjoyed flying through space.
Nice game.
A very cool concept! The controls are pretty challenging, I’d suggest reducing the speed down & adding more orbital data like apoapsis/periapsis, etc, like in Kerbal Space Program. Died too quickly while trying to descend with a debris grabbed - it would be cool to have some indicators about when you’re going to burn or something like that. Anyways, nice job!
Hey there, everything looks pretty awesome, I just don't really get how this game works
How can I connect with the debris, and what should I do with it?
Maybe a short explanation of the controls would be useful, thank you :)
There's a description of the game's controls on the game's page. See https://bcmpinc.itch.io/orbital-garbage-collector
excactly what I was looking for, thanks :)
