Planet Gravitational games are always fun and this is no exception! Well done :D
Insanely well executed, well done! Slightlyyy too hard for me but might just be skill issue on my end haha. Addicting for sure.
This is really well done. I don't think it's too hard. My first run had two planets close enough that I could transfer between them in an infinite loop. I didn't realize the transfer was how you score so I could have racked up whatever score I wanted.
Very nice game! Simple but catching mechnic, great planet visuals, solid sound. Good job!
I like it! Difficulty is high, but probably appropriate to keep the player invested despite the simplicity.
Love looping around the planets! This game is hard haha, but the little explosion animation is satisfying lol. Nice game!
Simple but clever and visually stunning game! :)
A bit too difficult to master but once you do, it becomes pretty fun! It's also impressive how many options you could add to the menu, as well as how coherent the whole experience is.
The only complaint I have is that I wish the music didn't restart every death, as I had to die a lot to figure out how to succeed relatively more than fail haha. Cool game, you should be proud!
I liked the idea, for me it was to difficult. The Gravity of the Planets should be more forgiving.
Creative idea. I had a lot of difficulty getting the hang of it though. Haven't yet managed to have a single game last longer than a few seconds. Perhaps a bit more leeway could've fixed this. Regardless, nice work on the game.
Amazing game, I had so much fun while playing this!
Ina company where I used to for like 10 years ago we had game exactly like this.
Flawless executions. GJ!
I tried the game, then I tried again, and again, and again...... and an hour passed. : ) Great and addicting.
The aesthetics are great. Really cohesive. I especially like the crt effect. Audio is also looking nice. The spacey feeling of the music adds up to the atmosphere. I like how balance of jumping how often you jump between other planets and how often you have to refuel.
I guess that I would have two suggestions. The first would be to add a bit more feedback to the jumping. Maybe like a screenshake. Since you're doing this action all the time, it could even further improve the feel of the game. The other thing is that sometimes I felt really inconsistent with my gameplay. There were times when I didn't get any jump 6 times in a row and times when I got a score above 5k. Maybe making the first jump easier would help in making it all a bit smoother. For example you could slightly steer the player towards the ring that they're aiming.
Thank you for coming back to rate my submission after being an early play-tester for the game! All feedback is appreciated as I'll be looking to add to the game once the jam is finished. I'll be sure to add your game to my queue!
A very difficult game, but a beautiful one too!
Cool idea and executed well - I just think the game itself is far too difficult to even worry about fuel and it’s very unforgiving if you’re slightly off course to another planet’s orbit. Other than that though, nicely presented!
a horse in space? more likely than you think
great art direction, sound design and cool mechanic but i'm bad at it
horse approved 🐴👍
I downloaded the Android version and played it on my phone — super addictive game!
My high score was around 3000. I wasn’t very good at it though… I never had to worry about fuel because I usually died before I could run out :)
I’d really appreciate it if you could check out and rate my game too!
Difficult but really good! Great art. Good job!
Incredible artwork!
Very difficult game, but fun!
