Super satisfying gameplay!

Really cool game! Great atmosphere and vibes. I think the UX was overall a bit small even in fullscreen, and I would have appreciated more onscreen instructions so I didn't have to keep checking the jam page.

The level editor is an awesome addition, and the guides for trajectory are sick. Keep up the good work!

nice astronomy game check also my puzzle if you like puzzle s

It’s like an approachable form of kerbal space program! I love the gameplay loop of adjusting your speed to catch up with celestial bodies. Very cool concept and lovely music too.

Great game, loved the controls and mechanics and everything about it, I'd love to make something like this!!

Yo I'm playing all the games with the word 'Astro' in the title, starting here.

I super dig this game, you have all the control you need over the game to control your ship over vast distances. Gradually managing your relative velocity is strangely calming and it's super satisfying to pull off a clean landing.

The graphics are clean and effective, they do exactly what they need to do.

And on top of all of that a level editor!? Some more time in the oven and I'd play this on steam.

Stellar entry :)

That is a good idea, I will also check out all the "Astro" games, starting with yours!

Plays really nice and relaxed while still being a challenge, of which the minimalistic graphics and audio fit perfectly. The controls and mechanics had a bit of a learning curve, but I found the guides for trajectory and destinations helped alleviate that substantially. I love how the clear-cut narrative aligns with gameplay; there was just enough to hook me in without knowing anything about it prior or creating friction while onboarding.

Also a level editor for a game jam project is insane, congrats!

the physics feel great, love launching rockets

Love how simple it is, yet feels so great. I don't think Art will improve this game, as I think the artstyle it has fits is so well.

Great job!

Neat idea, nice orbital mechanics. If you'd have grabbed some art assets instead of code drawn stuff it would've put it up a notch in my opinion.

Real nice idea, I love it!
