In my endeavors to save my precious home planet from the threat of the approaching meteor I enter my spaceship on a suicide mission to ram that meteor off collision course with the pure force of my ship.
Suddenly overcome by doubt, I attempt to swing away last second, but I still grace the meteor. Surprised I find that I didn't crash, but rather bounced off the meteor, losing control of my ship in the process. Spinning uncontrollably, I plummeted into the sun, only to find that the sun is actually a portal to a mirrored universe! As luck would have it, my ship bounce into the meteor heading towards this alternate earth, slowing me down to a halt but pushing the meteor just enough to avoid a collision with the alternate earth.
I am welcomed as a hero.

Cool physics, an enjoyable sandbox.

interesting game. played longer than I expected. is it possible to win? 20 minutes in orbit with no impact, but no end either. controls were difficult, but gameplay was amusing.

hopefully looking to do post mortem, post Jam update with better ship control, a more solid win or loose state, possible levels that get progressively more difficult.

Great idea. The controls got a bit frustrating after some time, but I still enjoyed the challenge!

I couldn't enjoy this. I felt that the controls were too unreliable, and that everytime I failed it wasn't my fault :( It could be really fun if you fixed them somehow!

Good quality on the graphics. Cool to see the effects of gravitational forces on the asteroid.
