Thanks for the feedback + suggestion. Yeah I’d love to do some sort of slingshot mode off the surface. At the moment it just speeds up about 50%, but building some sort of movement off it sound like a great idea.
The nova one is a good pickup. To make it easier to implement in the jam you’re still orbiting around the sun in that stage, its just hidden :D In my post jam updates I’ve started working on the nova mode being a “straight line” mode which should make that bit slightly more fun. Thinking about it having a black hole skimming mechanic could be fun too!
Thanks for playing :)
