Very simple but pretty fun! I enjoyed the time I had playing this :)
This is a neat idea but the difficulty makes it hard to really get into. I think some sort of mechanic to let you either slow down time when launching or aftertouch your trajectory a little for exta fuel would go a long way to making it more accessible.
Lovely art, but i coudn't get into the gameplay sadly. Maybe a visualizer of where the ship will go could help a bit?
It is a nice concept, maybe a bit hard especially when you can’t see what you’re aiming at in some cases, but I enjoyed it nontheless. Nicely done!
This was a really nice game, and I'm happy that I could play it on my phone, since I got on vacation right after the jam. It is a tad bit difficult, but enjoyable at the same time, great job!
Nice but little bit hard
Not too deep but i enjoyed the gameplay overall, it felt good.
PS If you have the time please check out a fellow space game
Creative idea, a solid gameplay loop, and good art but i think its a tad too unforgiving in its difficulty.
Very stylish, and extremely hard! Though maybe I'm just an abysmal pilot... Either way, I enjoyed my time smashing into planets or sailing clean past all of them into empty space :)
Love the game. However, whenever I crash into a planet. I look as if I have just levelled a small city!
Cool interpretation of the theme. It's quite hard, but the controls feel smooth. Also, the artwork and overall atmosphere are great!
The music resetting each time I failed got old pretty quick, but I loved the concept and simplicity of the controls. An excellent time waster and addicting to master, I'm sure.
Really enjoyed your game! I’m also in the jam with a game called Jumpimal, would love to hear what you think if you try it.
Audiovisually, it’s excellent and the time-loop theme is very well thought out. I feel the gameplay is a bit too difficult, and if it were more forgiving with the planets’ orbital area, it would be more fun—especially with the fuel-collecting mechanic. That said, I played for quite a while and never managed to collect even one; I kept crashing into planets way too easily. Maybe that’s just me, though. Either way, great job—the game feels very polished! :)
Lovely visuals and awesome take on the theme loop - looping around and having to watch your entry to other planets orbits to make a suitable orbit and continue looping around the planet without crashing into it!
Which is where I seemed to always just crash into every planet after about 5 times... I may need more practice with this one, but it feels quite difficult!
Awesome art style, like the music but I feel like it could continue to loop instead of cutting back out after you lose your ship - it's a bit drastic.
An awesome submission, really well done!
really nice and simple mechanic, but a lot of enjoyment out of it because it's easy to learn. it's quite hard to get the timing right though. I think would've been good to slow everything down a bit.
This was really fun! The game randomly reloaded on mobile and the audio didnt work, but thats kinda my fault for playing on my phone. I really liked the artwork and the physics were really great!
Hey, twinning the orbit idea I see XD
Great execution!
Although simple, the mechanic itself is really nice and really easy to understand! Great gameplay loop and such a creative idea.
Overall it is a really polished minigame. The visuals are really well created, and the overall polishing is great as well. One small detail I especially loved was the respawn(Because I get to see it a lot haha). I lost so many times but the well polished losing effect and the instant respawn was really nice.
It's mostly my fault I think, but right now the game feels a bit too difficult haha. I don't know how to solve this but maybe add a launch angle for bad players like me...
Great job!
Our games are SO similar, it's great to see another take on a classic. even our descriptions are super similar, ha. Great execution and art, well done!
