Maybe an optical illusion, but it felt like the prediction line's end was changing even when I wasn't doing anything. I could also just be bad at the game.
Also, I think I ran out of fuel in the main menu, which pretty much permanently enabled the alert sound during level 1.
Steep learning curve, but the stunning visuals and atmosphere kept me playing! Impressive! 🚀
the idea is amazing , it 's fun , but i stayed stuck a lot of time as it ddint detect i was orbiting well or have to be very specific speed ,nice give though ,impressive
Big fan of this idea! Having so many interacting bodies in such a small space made it impossible for me to create a stable orbit on level 2, but I'd love to see where this could go with some tweaking.
Yeah I wish I'd removed that level, I couldn't get the flight path predictor to be stable enough to make it workable. Something to look at after the rating period ends. You can just cheese it by continually orbiting in a figure of 8 pattern (which is doable, with adjustments) until the game thinks you've orbited both planets enough.
Great game. Always love physics based games with planets. Good job.
Nice concept and fits the theme!
Wow, super creative and totally fits the theme! Well done and nice game
Hey I liked this take on the theme. I like space games. This was hard at first but then it was satisfying to be able to create orbits and control the ship. Great game.
Our games have similar mechanics. In my game, I tried to simplify things a lot to make it feel simpler and more relaxing. But I really liked the mechanics you created and the more realistic use of physics. It gets more challenging, but it's still a lot of fun.
Great work with the gravity calculations and orbit prediction line. Everything turned out very fluid and satisfying.
I really like this. Only problem is that I kept falling though the wormhole on level two and had to give up.
Very fun game !
Really a fan of the orbital mechanics - and the game is thighly woven on that subject, nice!
As a continuation on the game, you could maybe implement keplerian orbits detection based on position & velocity? Wikipedia has a nice article on it.
Congrats!
I liked it, thank you for this game!
very cool take on the theme loop, the atmosphere in this game is unmatched. very cool!
this game is really clever, i really liked how you implemented the player movement.
Really neat concept i would love to see something like this as a full game
Good game! i like the controls and how everything is implemented! ui is designed well. The alert sound is kinda annoying, especially when it's been playing for like 5 minutes. Also, during the "twins" level, my progress seemed to be going backwards for some reason, making it very difficult to complete. one last thing is that the wormhole is kinda hard to see sometimes. overall though i like the game! :3
Thanks yeah I agree with everything you say. Oh for more time!
