Hohmann Havoc

Hohmann Havoc is a 2D space arcade shooter. You fly a space ship around a small world protecting it from the massive asteroids that seek to destroy it!

Instructions: WASD or arrow keys to move ship

--- A and D rotate your ship

--- W and S control your forward thrust

--- Spacebar to fire

Be sure to avoid your own fire. Your bullets are just as destructive to you as they are to asteroids.

The blue line from your ship and the red ones from asteroids predict their respective orbital paths. Uses these to help plan your movements and gauge your position.

This game utilizes a realistic (albeit two dimensional) physics system (e.g. inverse square gravity). You will need to master these orbital mechanics if you are to save your world for any respectable amount of time. Good luck, pilot!

Screens:

Pray and spray wildly hoping to hit...


... or time your shot just right and score that bullseye! Quite satisfying hooking a long shot around your planet straight into an asteroid (DISCLAIMER: FEAT OF SKILL NOT SHOWN IN SCREENSHOT).
