Oh wow nice! A game that's theme around gravity sling shot, I've thought of using such theme too but I felt coding the physics will be too much for me to handle, so I'm glad to see a game using this theme!
I like the mechanic, takes some getting use to but it's enjoyable. Though I felt like the gravity is a bit on the strong side. Perhaps increasing the ships inertia and reducing the gravitational pull might make the overall feel much better.
Overall a job well done! keep it up!
Interesting idea. I kind of figured how you need to push outwards, but also along the orbit in order to not create an "oval" orbit and end up on the H.S.S. I only felt I was a bit too powerless against the meteors, but I could still spot their trails so maybe after playing some more I could get used to avoiding them. Nice work
Really cool ideia and the gameplay is fun, but quite punishing, at least for me it took me a while to get any character aside from the first one, just to end up crashing on the planet and having to start all over again.
Great concept, scope and ultimately fun experience. Sadly only could save 4 of 5. One will keep floating until the oxygen is over. Will come back after the jam if you make any improvements. Congratulations on your entry!
Awesome concept here! Big fan of orbiting kind of mechanic. There's plenty of room for improvements to make this game even more fun! All the best!
I tried believe me I tried captain but I could only rescue two astronauts sorry sir.
epik! game man nice job. Though a little bit particle effect when the ship crashes would have juiced up the game and screen shake.
Nice job
This was definitely an interesting challenge! I enjoy the orbiting mechanic a lot, it's really fun. Although I wasn't able to beat it...
It was actually just one level. The difficulty increases as you try to reach the farther NPCs.
The control logic is similar to that of real life space vehicles- you go closer to the center and use the gravity to catapult yourself to the farther areas.
I will make necessary changes to the difficulty curve and provide better instructions in the post jam version.
Thank you for playing my game and for the valuable feedback.
Cool game, very nice idea! I also found it a bit difficult, but after a bit of tweaking on that I think it will be great!
Fun but very hard, my only suggestion would be to make it a little easer otherwise its very fun.
