This was super cool. I want to make a rogue-like where the player does slingshot maneuvers, launches projectiles at competition targets, and reaches refuel points in a kind of sporting event, racking up high scores. I wasn’t really sure how feasible this would be, but you apparently arrived at the same orbital calculation method that I was considering, where it’s a look-ahead flight path, instead of a conic section. Honestly, a lot of this game made me realize how feasible the idea is, because I had an incredible amount of fun with your game. Excellently-done!

Thanks! Yeah I thought about trying to pull out just the package shooting mechanic and making it more of an arcade game too but ended up working on different projects. I think it's definitely a viable game idea though, feel free to reach out on discord if you want to chat about implementation or anything else. (#oarc)
