This game is clever! Using planets to slingshot yourself and optimizing your fuel to make sure you go as far as possible is actually quite enjoyable.
I will say for anyone trying to play this game, it's much better downloaded (I noticed the web build had a lot of stuttering and the audio was strange, even with the fluid thingo off - none of that was a problem in the desktop one even with it on for me. Note that my computer is relatively new).
I like the melody of planets when you enter each orbit, and the art is superb.
Possible improvements:
- Maybe optimize it further? even though I could play it on desktop it would spontaneously crash. Surprising given the graphics don't look too intensive (although obv lots of physics computing involved). It stopped me from enjoying the game as much as I could have.
- I didn't really understand what the goal was, just to find new areas? it would be nice if there was some incentive to going around and finding new areas. And maybe providing a little more direction to the player would help.
Overall quite fun, would recommend continuing the project!
