Nomad Miner

Slingshot from asteroid to asteroid to fill your space trailer with veggies. Be sure to collect energy (red) and return to ship to complete level.

Controls

* Point with your mouse to select your initial trajectory
* Space to launch from the ship, and to slingshot away from the asteroid you’re orbiting
* R to restart the current level

First game published-- was hoping to have more levels and add more guidance in the UI, but hopefully you’ll enjoy the core mechanics and concept (and gingerbread man). 😊 Had a ton of fun!

Couldn't play the game but it sounds fun

Yeah, game didn't load for me, sorry.

let me know if you get a working version up and I'll take a look!

@fromage @goldenxd @tycoonbelle sorry, should work now! WebGL build settings fun.

Thanks! Obviously not finished but you know that, I do like the primary mechanic, and honestly seeing the standee style avatar fly off into space is pretty funny, heh.

Very nice idea, couldn't complete the game as my WebGL is incredible laggy. I like the core concept, and I think with a bit of work on graphics it would be very good! Also, the 3d-ness of the character looks cool.

Cool idea! Only thing that I could think of was probably to increase the flight speed a tad. :)

Interesting concept!

I ended up in space more often than I should have :D not sure if you are supposed to bring only one thing back, because the ship was always happy when I returned, no matter how much/what I've collected. Definitely a cool first game :)

I love this idea for a fast casual game :) nice concept

Nice gameplay mechanic ! :)

The game appears to be simple, but is nevertheless enjoyable. I like the gameplay mechanics. Good job :D

Interesting game. I found the controls a bit clumsy. I think that was kind of the point, I just didn't love it. I ran into a bug as well where, at least on the first level, if you restart too many times it starts spawning a ton of vegies all around the astroid.

Yay 20 ratings! Cool physics game. I found the explode on restart really funny. I like how the number of veggies increase on every failure to show you how bad you are at the game ;)

I would make it a little more fast paced, specifically when it's obvious that you failed to land back in the ship maybe auto restart?
