How does your game interprets the theme?
The theme of "overlords" led me to the idea of conquering planets. We all know that the only step in conquering a planet is to PUT A FLAG ON IT! ^_^

What Haxe game engine or framework did you use?

I really like the "space golf" idea, I could see this being extended to include things like several "courses" (solar systems), maybe a limit on the number of launches, moving obstacles such as asteroids, etc.

Anyway it was fun as is, and felt really polished!

fun little game, I wanted to get all of them but I gave up on that tiny little guy hiding behind the big guy.I wish my bearing indicator showed my last angle rather than telling me the number in a different menu.

other than that this is well executed and nifty

Thanks for playing, Geo! Appreciate your feedback too!
I was down to the wire on time for features, but the little bearing devices should totally have angle and label text 😬. Maybe even an onion skin of last-launch's bearing too. I'll add that after the voting period.

Interesting golf game.

Couldn’t use the power shot as ctrl + click is right click for me and I am too lazy to turn it off. Still managed to get 17/18 without it.

Not sure if the last one (bottomleft) is reachable without power shot.

I liked there being a defined goal (flag all 18 planets). Not sure why the controls were shift-click instead of just click. Solid execution of the concept.

I swear I played a Veggietales flash game that was just like this. I like it. Getting to name the planets was a nice touch

The gravity mechanic is really cool! When I first realized this mechanic existed I was surpsied. That's so COOL!!

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you thought that effect was cool! It was surprisingly easy to implement. just setting the acceleration of the probe to 0 each frame, and adding little bits back in the direction (and scaled by distance) to each planet. You can check out the git repo for the code too!
