Cool and simple concept! Although my wife will never forgive me for how long it took me to get home.

My wife is 600 years old.

Very original idea, do the crystal-looking pickups do anything? I managed to get home with a 46 year old wife!

Developer

That is a good score, your whife is in her prime years :-). No the pickups does not do anything (I had a plan for them but ran out of time.)

i had fun playing this game espacialy while blasting "major tom" through my speakers. it takes a second to get the hang of it, but it is managable.

but maybe the ship should start on the white stripe to give the player a chance to get started properly.

Developer

I’ll have to license that song as the official soundtrack:-). Thanks for trying it out.

Its actually an interesting concept, although it was quite hard to control the thrusters and spend the last 40 years orbiting earth T-T anyway GG and good job :>

Developer

thanks for the feedback, yes the controls are pretty hard but not rocket sience right?

its not as hard rocket science, but technically it is rocket science

Cool way of controlling thrusters with sliders! I got completely lost in space — last I checked, my wife was 336 years old and still waiting.

Developer

Well we cant know what kind of medical tech we will have 300 years in the future, she might still be ok :)

Nice motivation for the player. Kept flying in the direction of the wifes picture in first try, though it was the indicator of where to go lol.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, makes sense.

Fun little game! I got an 80-year-old whife at the end. I might try again later hehe. 

Developer

Thanx for playing, I wish you and your 80-year old whife all my best!

A very original premise. I recently saw Interstellar on a long flight, so I was quite tickled by the concept. 

I was also quite surprised by how the controls work, very cool.

Of course, I was about as proficient at controlling this vehicle as I would be at flying a real spaceship.

Tank you! Interstellar was actually my inspiration for the concept :-). Your performance is not bad at all, you have the youngest whife in the comments, ha ha.
