You are Major Tom, the controller of a satellite responsible for sending messages across the world. Your objective is to send messages from the source antena to the target antena by reflecting the signal and mantaining it for a certaing time. The game has 6 levels, each one with increasing difficulty. Try to beat them all!
Tip: Be gentle, you are in space. ;)
---Controls--- left = rotate satellite right = rotate satellite left + right = impulse satellite
---Changes--- - Fixed some rotations being bound to FPS.
Well the graphics are definitely a 5/5 - so is the mood and aesthetics. I think the satellite is a little too hard to control, it rotates really slowly and lazy. I would have more fun if the rotation was improved.
I'm glad I took my time to master the controls (they're very hard) to play this game. Itś really good once you get the hang of it. And the visuals? Man, they're amazing, i really enjoyed how this game looks. The music fits the mmod really well. really great entry.
Great game. The graphics are awesome and the sound fits really well and creates a good atmosphere. Once you learn to be gentle it flows quite well and is really fun working the angles for signals out.
Oh man, my machine can't handle this on WebGL at all - it's like 10 fps. Anyway, got it running on Windows. Cool ambiance with the music, nifty graphics. It's really challenging, but in a good way. Reminds me of old-school lander games.
This game is really nice, I've completed all of the 6 levels. The controls are hard to handle at first, but then it becomes easy to manipulate the satellite. Also the graphics look awesome. Excellent job, and one of the best entry I've seen so far.
Thank you everyone for all the feedback! It's very appreciated!
@MrJoshuaMcLean Are you running WebGL on a laptop? Mine has a dedicated GPU (fast) and a integrated GPU (slow), and the browser runs on the integrated by default. If that is your case, you have to force it to run on the dedicated GPU!
Goooooddamnit. Halfway through level 6, and WebGL runs out of memory... Besides the satellite being difficult as hell to control (restarted because I couldn't stop it from boosting), the game is beautiful and challenging.
Gorgeous presentation -- it's a pleasure just watching the world in motion, passing through its day & night cycles!
Kinda wish this wasn't restricted by the two-button theme. Levels that didn't require the use of an additional satellite were super-easy (but relaxing, thanks to the visuals & sound), but by level 6, I found myself wishing for reverse thrusters to better dial in my speed.
All in all, great work! I think I'll keep this one on my hard drive for a while.
I loved your game, really relaxing and fun to play! I loved your low poly art style and the name of the game is perfect (I like David Bowie too). Awesome job guys!
The Impulse engines threw me into high orbit and were difficult to get the hang of. After a little practice, maneuvering the satellite became second nature and fun. The music was very fitting for making internet connections from space.
A cool idea and very well executed. I love the blocky graphics and the game mechanic is simple yet fun. The difficulty of keeping the satellite pointing where you want it is just about right. I enjoyed it.
Adore the mood, graphics and music. The gameplay system is really clever and neat. Really loved the secondary satellite idea. I love how much detail you put into the world!
I do think the satellite is a bit too trick to control, but it's really hard to do this right without good playtesting.
This is amazing. It starts out fairly mind blowing, then you start to learn how to manipulate all the angles and it becomes like second nature. I really really enjoyed this. It crashed out of memory just before I completed the final connection, but I'll call it a win. =) Great submission!
Nice entry. Would have liked a bit more difficulty on the later levels (perhaps less time before a timeout, or more time to transmit data). Right now it was pretty much the same on all levels.
Innovation went thought the rough on this title! Well done guys. Good to know the brazilians are kicking ass :D I would love to keep in contact with you both. Botaram pra fuder caras.
The graphics are really great! The mood and music are also nice. It crashed for me after I transmitted the first 42 gigabytes of data in level 6, but I was glad to have played as much as I did! Awesome game :)
Such mood... The audio fits this game perfectly. Only thing I wish it had was a little more variety in the game play (different satellite altitudes, any other mechanics to play around how the signal reflects)
But well done, it's clean, it's entertaining, it's relaxing.
Really challenging, fun game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/yY4Ylj7ccuc

btw, there's a small typo in the instructions
I felt pretty smart when I managed to connect two antennas through one of the extra reflectors.
5* for mood, audio and graphics
Congrats, for your entry!

The idea is really interesting, and the tone and graphics are great.

I'd like to see this expanded.
Very impressed.
But well done, it's clean, it's entertaining, it's relaxing.
