Ranked from 11 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

Themes
Is Physics Real? - The main gameplay mechanic is pulling a planet out of orbit.

Just One Button - The game is played using only one button. This is the main theme that led to me making an Orbt XL demake. It's one of my absolute favorite one button games.

Team
Alone

Jam
I think 64x64 resolution gives a surprisingly big amount of space! I'm always impressed with what can be fit in that resolution.

Neat little score chaser game, which combines the simple controls and the charm of PICO-8! The idea of avoiding asteroids while dancing around a blackhole is kinda unique and fun and if you want, easily expendable!

Graphics were simple, but they did what they needed to do, sfx were okay, I kinda wish we had a little background track to top it o ff. Best score was 203! Great entry!

Simple and fun game that doesn't need much introduction to be understood. Well done.

This was fun! I got 254. It would help to have an indicator / heads up a few seconds ahead of the planet switching directions.

Title screen design is epic. Controls are interesting.

I like the design of your start menu, and I appreciate that most of the screen is taken up by the game and not just statistics.

Great game, it feels like a classic!

My high so far is 206 but I’ll be back…

I kind of figured out the controls, but I was clearly missing something, constantly losing without understanding why. My best score so far is 84 points. Overall, a pretty good arcade game. Great job!
