I love the idea and had fun playing the game! WIth a bit more polish and levels, and probably even a mobile version, I would probably play that a lot :D Gravity games are just so ... satisfying for me xD
Seeing the trail and your crashed ships also added a nice touch to the overall feeling. I could also imagine something like a super meat boy replay, where after you complete the level, you see all your failed attempts and only one makes it.
Really great concept, good work!
