I must admit I enjoyed making an orbit that only works for a little bit then fails right after the objective was completed.

Exactly, you don’t need the perfect answer, just good enough :D

love the design, amazing game,  but I'm so bad at it haha

Glad you like it, it does take some time to get used to the type of movement, but stick with it and you can create some stunning solar systems

Very pleasant game! Hard to control but shockingly well polished!

Super cool idea, very well implemented and polished gameplay! It's quite challenging, I wish there was more ability to zoom out as hitting the edges felt a bit frustrating. But still very well done!

As an astronomy nerd, I approve of this cool game. Even Hawking radiation!! Great job!

Beautiful! Such a clever concept, and then a lot of polish as well.

Absolute perfection amd what a game should be. Simple, polished, amazing art, straight of a in a nutshell video, addictive A F. Great, great game. I am curious about the gravity simulator though?

Lovely game, probably the best I've played so far during this jam. It's very fun to tinker with the planets, the sound and visual design are spot on. I also love how lenient the game is on player failure, this makes crashing planets fun instead frustrating. Great work!

I really enjoyed the game—it drew me in much more than the other ones I tried from this jam. I got stuck at level 13. Having to launch the planets in the opposite direction of the pull wasn’t really the kind of twist I was looking for. The graphics are great and have a cool atmosphere; they really remind me of Kurzgesagt! I’d love to play a full version of this on my phone!

Developer(+1)

definitely planning to expand on this once the jam is done :)

Super fun and very tricky mechanics. It's a lot of fun watching it climb as asteroids and moons appear, as other plants change gravity and the direction of the launch. Plus, the art and sounds work very well. Great work.

Simple but effective design! I really enjoy watching planets orbiting around things.

I really wish there is a trajectory line when launching so that the game might be easier and I don't need to skip those levels to see those interesting mechanisms you have in later levels.

Nice game relaxing and neatly done ! I like the sound design with the humming, a bit like when you run your finger around the rim of a glass

It's a theremin! Cool little instrument that uses electric fields and all of those effects were made by Talpal!

Submitted(+1)

Omg a theremin no way !!! That makes it even cooler :p

Love the game ! Really cool execution! I love orbiting and maintaining orbits.

Seems like this theme isn't as original add I thought...

Submitted(+1)

This was such a neat little game, very satisfying, though I had to turn down the volume a bit after a while as the tones could get a bit much. Lovely execution! 

Submitted(+1)

I liked the concept! the design simple but very good! great work :D

Submitted(+1)

I like how physics work, very satisfying. 

Submitted(+1)

Amazing artwork and awesome sound effects, combined with satisfying game mechanics, well done!

Submitted(+1)

Super lovely game , very satisfying mechanics and overall lovely game

Submitted(+2)

This game is delightful! The sound design is beautiful and it's very easy to pick up while still being an interesting puzzle. Lovely art as well. Great work!

Had similar fun as with "New orbit" from Blackish games on Android.

Finally had time to check out New Orbit. Glad we could compete with a fully released game, although I hope we provided calmer vibes for you this time around!
