A single-control obstacle avoidance game. Circle the planet without getting hit by asteroids, but don't stray too far either!

Controls: tap screen to boost, spacebar for desktop.

A little but nice entry,

reminded me of interstellar :grin:

There are not that many graphics but the existing are lovely.

Bring some more variety to the gameplay and it could be a great mobile title!

Simple but nice game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :)

It's obviously simple, but very fun! And kudos on making an Android version as well!

It's surprisingly enjoyable to play, congrats!

Nice gameplay mechanic, the one button input + gravity around the planet is a neat idea. Just have to establish a nice orbit and hope nothing randomly spawns to collide with you. A bit more predictability in the incoming asteroids would be nice, maybe something like an indicator on the edge of the screen a few seconds before the asteroid starts to come in, so you have a chance to respond to things.

I played this on stream at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/141703264 - time 1:54:10

I really like it, its very simple and intuitive. What language did you use for using github and stuff?
