I really enjoyed the game and loved the artwork and loved the idea of the game, really cool I'm just unsure how it really fits the theme..
Thanks! And thanks for the feedback. Other than the supernova, there are a few indirect "countdowns" in the game -- fuel, missile / debris / ship impacts, the solar strike, but I agree that we could have been clearer in presentation to fit the theme better
I really like the visuals and the mechanics, reminds me of the classic ELITE games, very fun!
Thanks! Our inspiration visually were these old Voyager visualizations from the pre-texture mapping era. So timeline-wise, not too far off from Elite :)
My spaceship crashed. Loved it.
Heh it happens :) glad you enjoyed the game
Must have been a lot of work to put all this togather, really great job, I have enjoyed it very much.
Yup, was a ton of work (especially getting it to vaguely run fast enough). Thanks for playing!
So much detail and polish in just 4 days is crazy. You guys are really talented. I really liked the game, no complaints!
Heh thanks! Was a hectic weekend for sure :)
Lovely aesthetic and simulation of space
Thanks for the kind words!
really cool gameplay. always love some dithering
Thanks! I enjoyed writing these shaders :)
Planets are gorgeous, I was kind of hoping for a ship to match. That would've made this thing pop, I think. Still, nice use of orbital mechanics.
Alas, I'm a graphics programmer and we didn't have an artist for this game, hence the programmer art for the spaceship. It would have been a good opportunity to play around with some fun spacecraft procgen, but we didn't quite have enough time
Brilliant work, even outside of a jam this would be a solid game, very polished and super original idea! i especially loved the sneaky education bits, now going to go learn more about all the different kinds of orbits and space manoeuvres:) very well done
Thanks! If this is interesting to you, you might find this recent minutephysics video interesting (as well as their previous video).
