Neat game, I liked the focus on space & science. The thrusting was a little confusing but i got the hang of it eventually.

I too was a little confused by the thruster at first , I felt like it should have worked backwards - instead of dragging in front of the probe to point it forward it may have been better to click and drag behind it to propel it forward.
Other than that I enjoyed it, I didn't ever manage to reach Saturn but I enjoyed trying :)
@heinrix Thanks for the feedback, I like the idea of an 'invert controls' option!
The gravity wells are a cool mechanic. This kind of game would work better with multiple levels, to provide more of a challenge. It's disappointingly short as is.
As @heinrix said, the controls are opposite of what most would expect from thrusters.
I felt that the thrusters didn't really give me much of a boost, even when i wasn't in a gravitational pull, making it a bit frustrating at first. Still, a very cool and neat game!
The gravity is a fun mechanic, although like others I was very confused by the thrusters at first; I used almost all of my fuel before I realized it was backwards from what I expected.
Gravity is always fun to play with. Well done!
CASSINI HAS BEEN DESTROYED Never in my life have I been more happy to hear those words. I liked the minimalist audio in this one, it really added to the atmosphere. The gameplay was challenging but not too hard, and yes, the thrusters are backwards. Overall, nice game!
I think the thrusting arrow should be in the opposite direction, but otherwise a fun little game.
Cool game!
Thruster arrow direction was little confusing. It would be great if probe was destroyed after collisions.
Also, game is really challenging, I had to use all my Kerbal Space Program skills :D All in all, good work!
Hard mechanics! I loved it, really loved it. Didn't manage to win, but it's a solid 5 for me!
It was a good game experience, I had some fun with it. Good job :)
Cool idea! Screw Gravity!!XDDDDD

I'm not sure it was the ideal path, but I did some pretty cool 360's with a spacecraft.
That was great, bravo !
