Simple mechanic, easy to learn, and nailled the theme.
I'd love to play more levels (possibly even where the goal is to orbit two planets at once)!
One Small Orbit
Nice concept, but the ship feels a bit too sensitive, so I end up struggling more with the controls than with the problem-solving.
Fair criticism! This is the reason I added the slowdown mechanic, which is 10x slower than normal, but even that can feel too sensitive sometimes. It was a hard problem to solve, because I felt like adding a slider for thrust strength would be too annoying to use, even though it probably would have given greater control.
Thanks for playing anyways :)
I love the idea!! Also the particles look so satisfactory!
Nice idea. I was actually thinking of doing something space related for my game also!
If you have a moment, we'd love for you to check out our team's project too. It's called "round-and-wound" , hope you enjoy it! --> /jam/gmtk-2025/rate/3780863
One Small Orbit
5/5 for me, i think i can say that i'm a space engeneer now. Very nice idea and done pefectly. Maybe a few more levels could be nice. :)
Thank you so much! I'm happy you liked my game :)
lol, funny mechanic to try with :)) it's difficult at first but i start having fun after a few failure
Well done! This game really puts the "Outer" in Outer Frog
Great execution on the theme - we played around with this idea in brainstorming, but glad we skipped it as you guys absolutely nailed it.
Amazing game, really polished and nice. Nice visuals and sound design, and the levels are fun.
I have to say, my knowledge of orbital mechanics from ksp really helped :)
Very good game, great job!!
Yes, KSP was the main inspiration for this! Glad you liked it :)
Reminds me of Beyond Gravity. Your game is better though!
Really well made, the implementation of the gravity is just so satisfying, you nailed it. Also very creatively fitting for the theme.
Thank you! I appreciate it.
Really cool idea! Very unique and fun. I like the simplicity
Making it possible to also slow down time is amazing, also liked the concept of forming the orbit itself, great job!!
sattelite goes woosh
I really enjoyed your game, I thought it was a really creative way to implement the loop theme.
