I Enjoyed this ^-^. I was genuinely so proud of myself for getting the hang of it. I liked the music and sound effects! Tickled my brain real nice. And you used Raylib ^-^. Nice scoping as well.
lmao, the sam voice got me rolling! didn't expect that! awesome game!
orbiting is fun!
Didn't expect to see orbital mechanics in a JAM!!!! Sadly doesn't seem like I can get lost into the space as I seem to always be orbiting the moon and earth lacks gravity!
Super fun nontheless for fans of Kerbal Space Program <3
Only bug I could spot is on the yeeting mechanic, sometimes gets stuck.
Thanks. I did think about adding Earth gravity too and ran out of time. Maybe I'll add it after the Jam...
I'm really sorry, but I didn't like it. Microsoft SAM is not a good voice to use unironically on a public release, the controls and fuel were unforgiving, and I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to do. Many games could use better communication but this one could've used a lot of playtesting because I lost multiple times trying to figure out what to do. Using real orbital mechanics a la Kerbal Space Program was a novel idea and I commend you for being able to code this so quickly, clearly a lot of polish went into it, it's full of sounds and the controls are highly responsive, but that's SWE me speaking. Gamer me didn't enjoy this a lot. Again, I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry! With the simple mechanics and unforgiving gameplay if it doesn't click for you there isn't much room left for it to be fun! The SAM voice is ironic - many of my other games have gimmicky voice overs and with my self-imposed extra challenge of only having procedurally generated assets some cheesy TTS seemed like the best fit. Though in hindsight if I had given myself more time or more filesize budget I would've polished that part more.
Neat game! :] I really enjoyed the chaos of it, and I think the narration is a great addition.
Orbital mechanics are fun :) also SAM-voiced nOrbit character was pretty silly, i enjoyed that. great job!
CAPTIIINNN!
yeah so it difficult and thats great, but its also not forgiving at all so i think it needs some balance, audio and visuals are great! overall gj!
I really liked the unique control scheme, but the constant pop-ups and narration were overwhelming. Overall, I think the game is a bit too unforgiving, forcing you to start over at every mistake, and I don’t think that fits a high-score chaser like this.
