Welcome to your first day on the job for the United Terran Air Force! Your mission, should you choose to accept it (you don't actually have a choice), is to send payloads of Helium-3 from the surface of the moon up into orbit around the Earth. . .and beyond!
Use the sliders on your handy-dandy heads up display to control the angle and power of your projectiles, and then click the launch button! (You can also use that old-fashioned keyboard thing's spacebar to launch. Ha, SPACEbar. NICE.)
After you take some practice shots around the Earth's orbit, you'll unlock the Solar System View, and you'll be able to send helium all across the system!
Once you unlock the System View, you only have five minutes to deliver as much helium as possible, so work quickly!

I really hope you enjoy this!
There's no sound because, as we all know, in space, no one can hear you curse because of orbital mechanics being complicated. ;)
Unfortunately, there is no web version, as Godot's .NET version doesn't currently support exporting to the Web target. :(
If you'd like to play on Mac, fear not! Godot builds for Mac, but I have no way of signing the package file. So, if you want to play it on Mac, you just need a copy of Godot (the engine) running version 4.0+, and a .NET runtime. I leave it as an exercise for the reader to get those installed. Then, you can download the source code (from the GitLab link on this page) and import the project into Godot. Then, just click the play button!
~~It appears that LDJam.com is having trouble finding my actual files. I have added an itch.io mirror for the game.~~
This was resolved with a new file upload.
