Aaaarrrgh... that S-shaped room (in the screenshot) is a killer. Couldn't get past it...Good fun though!
I also went with "Escape Velocity" as the name ... so I had to come scope out the competition ;)
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD21 → Escape Velocity

A few bugs, but I could see what you were going for, and a few good moments of flinging myself about. I kind of wish placing one would kill the last one, although that might be integral to expanding the puzzles later. Didn't really feel like I was in complete control of where i was firing.
I didn't get very far, but I like the concept. Not bad!
Already the 3rd web-based game that doesn't work for me, must be something wrong with my flash =/
Loved the music tho!
There really are a lot of things I wanted to tweak more (e.g. the direction of the shot currently is not accurate), but had no time ): Maybe I'll revise the whole thing soon.
@puffi: Huh, that's weird.. what Browser (& Version) did you use? There's no flash in there, it's all Javascript. (:
I was using FF 3.6.20 ( seems like I updated to 6 only on my laptop) which should explain a lot.
Runs fine on Chromium so I'll get around rating it.
I should know better than to steal a black hole gun. ;) Riding an event horizon is hard, and this little guy can whiz through a dozen of them! Fun game, if rather buggy. The first time around I reached the end level without knowing it, I was just stuck in a blank grey level.
Nice idea, too bad you hadn't spent more time on it and less on getting drunk :)
great idea, i just couldn't play it very well :) would be good to polish up the gameplay
Concept is fine, but the execution somewhat lacking. Physics of the gravity-pull behave quite strange, at least under Firefox - I'm gonna try chrome later. I guess that's the beauty and the curse of JS.
On the other hand, this is quite a good entry, with decent graphics and background music, so it's fine by me. Congrats!
Concepty is interesting, sadly does not feel to play so good. Allowing to making many of black holes probably not a good idea. May be one with variable size/charge would work better.
Anyways good idea but somehow does not feel that good play.
Nice idea but I couldn't control the effect of the gun well enough and got stuck really early.
I love the concept. I do want to let you know, though, that the controls don't work at all in Safari 5.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I tried it again in Firefox 5.0, and it worked most of the time, but going through the exit occasionally led me to an empty room where I couldn't move, and I had to restart the game. I think it happened whenever I went through a door with black holes on it.
