Nice game idea and cool implementation of the tethering! :D

Also it seems we had very similar ideas for the loop theme and the general vibe of our games :D Feel free to check out my interpretation of space exploration ;)

The simple art-style belies a really clever and polished form of movement I'd totally love to see used in other games! It was so satisfiying to stack up speed with multiple grapples. I'd love some unique objectives, maybe finding bits of your ship (maybe they give upgrades?) ,

Nice game with a really smooth mechanic. The grapple feels really satisfying to use, and the main mechanic definitely stands out a lot.

The game system feels really complete. Extremely well done main mechanic with a lot of potential. Nothing to complain about there. Maybe add an indicator saying the player needs to go right, but otherwise it is really good!

One small addition could be more surprise factors---like some fast, charging asteroids.  However, it is already really fun.

Great job!

This is a nice, short game and the movement felt pretty good. I was a bit confused on what I was supposed to do and sometimes. The fact that you have to exactly hook onto the asteroids felt a bit annoying and i feel having more generous hit boxes would make the game play feel more smooth.

Short and Simple, I really enjoyed playing around with the physics and I really like the space aesthetic! Just one question: What’s the objective?

Submitted

The grapple mechanics is cool. It's fun seeing how fast you can get yourself moving. I wasn't super clear on what the overall objective was. I'm guessing get as far as possible

The physics are super fun to play with and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Occasionally attaching to asteroids would orbit me in an unexpected direction but it is a very enjoyable game!

Love the aesthetic of the game and the teeny tiny explosion! Fun grapple.

Fun, reminds me of Brandon Sanderson's Skyward novels
