Pretty cool game. It's hard but very unique concept. Definitely need a lot of wisdom to beat these levels. Well done!

One word. Groovy.

Really interesting game. Good fun, great concept. But, incredibly difficult. Perhaps someway of correcting a mistaken trajectory or slowing down your speed to make it a bit easier and making the targets larger as well. Sound design is perfect and the music really suits the style of the game, though does become a little repetitive after a while. Really well done.

Love this game. Had an idea similar to this, but didn't know how to implement it well. This had great aesthetics, great mechanics, and great sound design, but all kept very simple which I like. My only complaint is just how difficult it is, but tuning that takes a while for a physics based game like this.

Great game! Only complaint is that this is not how physics works in real life haha

Developer

Thank you! Changing the mass of an object would have no effect on the path it travels but here we're changing the weight and keeping mass the same.

It was hard, but successful run was very satisfying. It lacked some music but overall polish was very good!

Developer

Thank you! I did add music, was it too quiet?

Submitted

Maybe it just didn't worked for me, on browsers it happens a lot.

Wow! Very cool concept and nice presentation! Well done!

Developer

Thank you very much

Great concept, great presentation, nice mechanics.

Developer

Thank you! your game was really cool.

Highly original. The control scheme is something I have never seen before, and a really great use of the limitation. The "game juice" (sound effects, trails, etc.) is all pitch-perfect. I particularly like the gentle motion and the soft ping as the player enters the atmosphere of the target planet.

The game is, however, very difficult. :)

Awesome game really cool mechanic reminds me of a gravity sim I had to do in science class. Yours was a lot more fun though. :-)

Submitted

Very fun - finished all apart from level 8 obviously. Simple, and more importantly intuitive, mechanics that are well built on by the end of the game. Straightforward style suits the game well - this might make a good mobile game in face! Enjoyed it a lot, great job!

Unfortunately it looks like there's a bug on level 8 where one of the gravitators isn't working. If everyone would just skip that level so you can see the rest of the mechanics that would be awesome. 

Submitted

Very cool concept! I enjoyed playing it. The use of the limitation was well executed as well. The art is also very cool!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Nice mechanics and visuals. And the controls are very accessible. Colectables look sus...

Thank you! My friends wanted me to put an imposter collectable in that would kill you if you picked it up

Submitted

concept is awesome

Thank you!

Simple concept but really hard to get good with. The art and SFX were quite good as well.

Also I would Really Appreciate it if you played my game.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback. I checked your game out and I think it's fantastic.

Submitted

Simple and beautiful game!

It was quite difficult for me. I think it would have been more controllable if there were auxiliary lines to indicate my direction of travel and a way to quickly eliminate gravity. But maybe it's the difficulty that makes it fun.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! It is a pretty hard game. I agree that auxiliary lines would have been a good option to explore but I couldn't decide on how to go about implementing them. One of my friends also suggested an input that would quickly decrease weight but I thought that was a big part of the challenge of the game.

Thank you for your feedback!

Submitted

Woah, this was good. Hard, but good. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to pick up the astronauts, so I didn't :)

Developer(+1)

The astronauts are collectables if you want an extra challenge. Thank you for the feedback!
