You're returning from a extended mission in space to your home planet. Your space exploration has been long and arduous and your shuttle is low on fuel.

You only get one chance to line up your re-entry angle just right or you will burn up and die horribly alone in space.

Aim:

Line up the entry angle by adjusting your trajectory with your thrusters.

If your entry path (line) turns green you are within the correct approach angle and will be able to make it through the atmosphere.

Controls:

Arrows - Rotate Ship

Space - Fire Engines

Framework: Gamvas (http://www.93i.de/products/software/gamvas)

I love games with orbital mechanics. I played a couple dozen times trying different strategies, but only succeeded twice.

It could be interesting to have different planets/moons as additional challenges after you successfully touch down on the first.
