Overall very good game, but zooming-in-out would have been nice.

One of the interesting games I played here sofar. The gameplay very unique, I liked it. But I think, you should work on blanace a little.

Neat game, I would have liked to see more planets and obstacles like moons, black holes etc.

Very fun concept! Imagine if NASA could pump out ships at that rate. :D

Simple but fun. I liked the win text :D

You were right , similar concepts we came up with. Pretty fun once you got the hang of it :P suggestion would be to reverse the scroll wheel as most games have the scroll back as the zoom out and not the in like yours

Really cool concept! It took a bit to get use to the effect gravity had on the ships but once I got it down those planets were mine! Good job!

@TeamOnBack heh, yeah i figure that - but I was using my new mac for the build, and I didn't think about the reversed scroll on macs :D

Great work Kristian :)

Great take on the theme and nicely built. I found it was difficult to get the small planets right, but well balanced anyway. Good effort!

This was pretty fun. Was a bit confusing after I moved the camera and found I couldn't shoot anymore, but I quite liked it. You should get bonus points for missing a planet, but hitting it on the way back :)
