Pretty good, reminded me of that old game Gravitee. Felt a little too heavy and sluggish though, and would've been nice to have colliders at the sides of the levels so you don't fly off into infinity.

I would have been a very bad space pilot. Pretty fun game, nice execution!

Very good :thumbsup:, but I find the visible area a bit small (I often went "out of camera" when I had enough power left to just turn around, but as I didn't see the ship any more, I couldn't turn in the right direction).

Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful and well conceived. The very mushy rotational controls on the ship made it way too frustrating - I would prefer the ability to do much finer adjustments. The interface and visual communication (rings around planets, simple controls with feedback on screen) was great. I loved that you could use the asteroids to shed momentum - I initially thought they'd kill me.

NIce game, but a bit too hard to control - I thought the gravity from the planets was a bit too strong too! Great work though

Nice idea ! I like the fact that you are attracted by the planets but sometimes the gravity is too strong. Your game is challenging but I had fun while playing it !

I enjoyed this one, though as many have mentioned - some collision or screen wrap would have been a nice addition! The ship did feel a bit sluggish to control though I really enjoyed the gravity fields and thought those were really appealing!

Really cool set of physics puzzles. Challenging too but I completed all of them ^_^

That some orbits were outside of the screen was annying at times though.

Honestly, this is probably my favourite game I have played. It was challenging, fun and I really liked the concept and the idea. there was nothing which I found wrong with this game. I hope you work more on this because I will definitely play this again. Good Job!!! :)

Wow, so much positive comments, thanks you all for playing our game ! :)

We will probably do a post Ludum Dare Edition and upload it ! Keep in touch !

For the rotation of the ship it was a mecanic that we choose to put but apparently it was a mistake, we will discuss about it for the final version. :)

I really like the whole mechanic of planet gravity. It is such a cool and fun game! In addition graphics looks amazing and the gamplay is challenging yet still fun. I tried many times and failed and then somehow I did it. Really good job! Nice game.

Steep non-stretch game. Excellent implementation of the theme, excellent idea excellent level design.

Fantastic graphics and mood, and while the controls were pretty funky and hard to use, it did make for some funny moments when I got a particularly goofy success, and I did enjoy making it through all the levels. Nice job!
