F=g(m1m2/d^2) is a game where you are stuck in a space loop. You will need to find a way out of the infinite loop using gravitational attraction and speed bursts. Sometime randomness will make you win.
I like the gravity idea and the boost & asteroid. I may prefer additional uses of the boost or asteroid as opposed to restarting the level. That said, I found myself determined to find a way to reach my ship.
Nice short physics puzzler! The idea is really innovative. I played through all levels, and I like how you expanded the core game mechanic (gravity) in different ways. The game has a very polished feel too.
The game is on the slow side (since you are 'stuck', you can't control much so you often have to wait), and solving a level involves luck just as much as tinkering.
What might be interesting is to add a 'ghost', i.e. the trail of a previous playthrough, so you can fine-tune your solution. It could also be interesting to add some sort of hi-score (per level) so you can play for the shortest / quickest solution. That would give it a bit more replayability.
Fun game, but one question: If the universe is a Klein bottle, why don't you appear to change direction of rotation when you go through the top/bottom?
This is cool! The graphics here are nice and have a lot of character. It has a similar gravity-based theme to my submission but this game has more character (especially in the graphics department haha). Thanks for making this and sharing it with us.
Didn't really understand how/when to place the asteroid to get it to do what I want since it also drifts? I also feel like movement could have been a bit faster overall. Cool submission!
good: very nice graphics. unique and simple gameplay mechanics which are still interesting. I think this does a really good job capturing the theme ^^ feels very polished for a compo game
bad: requires a lot of patience, I think some bits could maybe be sped up a bit. maybe it's better if you have more patience than I do though :) some bits are also a little unintuitive. bg music is nice at first but gets repetitively quite quickly

This was pretty fun. It looks really good. I felt that the solutions were too random, and I would have liked more planet slingshotting :)
