Great work! Loved the music and visual effects. really cool.
Loved the reference to the Kessler Syndrome. Very atmospheric and good respect to the theme too!
Also, high scores are nice. Untitled.png
Really enjoyed the game! Music and graphics were great and the gameplay although simple was very fun! I have no idea how anybody managed to get a score of 46 though! 4.5/5 overall for me!
@jackw899 Patience and careful launch power are the keys to success! 40 satellites.png
High scores were a nice surprise. Felt pretty lost until I saw that you could enabled the trajectories. Fun game overall!
Very nicely done!
Great work! As a physicist myself, I'm glad someone implemented something like this to fit the theme!
Really impressive. The game is with Zen state of mind. You should open audio rating, because the music is great. **Game tips**:first lauch satellites to the highest orbit.
@mrserp Thanks! Our initial plan was to have more elliptic orbits with varying eccentricity, but we struggled to calculate the correct periapsis and eccentricity from the launch parameters. We could do it confining the launch to a single plane but that seemed limiting, so circular orbits it is!
Really cool graphics and atmosphere, pun not intended. The music gives it a nice mood. It gets a little disorienting when the catapult is on the other side of the planet. I know you can rotate with the mouse but I wish there was some option to make the camera follow the orbit. Also, the objectives are not very clear at the beginning, it seems more like a simulator than a game at first. Really nice work!
Second place with a score of 47! Very original game, and it really fits the theme too. There's a lot of replayability when it comes to figuring out the best distance and angles to avoid collisions.
I really loved this, couldn't get past 10 but didn't want to stop trying, streamed it on twitch will send link once its up on YouTube
I watched the promo vid (don't have Windows to download the game) and it feels super sophisticated and clean, an interesting contrast to the playful weird vibes that a lot of game jam entries seem to have! A unique and strong mood :)
Brilliant little game. Love that you're running out of space IN SPACE! Feels great, super responsive and smooth. I didn't place very high but oh well. I'll just have to keep trying. Loved the catapult by the way haha.

This is so awesome! I love playing space games like Kerbal Space Program, Universe Sandbox and this. I'm definitely gonna play this in the future!
Really love the idea, fun to play
Realy nice game, I'm play a loot of games like kesbal space program, and any kind of realistic-ish space games are wellcome
Such a great concept! Really well executed, bravo! The Game Over sound/effect startled me a little bit though XD
Wow, really nice game. Its a nice simple game for playing to take up time would love to see it on mobile think it would be great. looks really nice and plays well. Well Done :smile:
Like the idea, but it could get tiring at times, this reminds me of Kerbal Space Program
A relaxing and beautiful game, great entry! :smile:
Great entry! Thanks for bringing it by the stream!
Love the game! As a space/physics nerd, this is right up my alley. It really innovates on the idea of "running out of space". I doubt anyone thought of a game about satellites running out of space. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for sharing your game with me. I played it on my stream tonight at https://www.twitch.tv/saoigames
I have rated your game, but all of my feedback was captured in the stream.

Really fun game, i really like the trajectory view it really helped to play the game!
This is a cool entry, i had a similar idea through the jam, but ended with something else, so its cool to see someone else bring it to life. Starts out simple and escalates quickly. I like how once you have a few satellites orbiting it actually becomes a game about dodging the others. Atmosphere is nice, pretty relaxing and first, until it gets a bit crazy in space. Would be cool to see other types of satellites or asteroids etc. Well done.
A very good game, but probably add another mechanic or thing for the player to do. Nice graphics and maybe add more stars to the skybox.
Very unique idea, greatly made with good graphics and music. Fits the theme very well!
Very unique experience, the great and relaxing music, and the fact that there is a leaderboard makes me think that this is the best game of the jam that I've played so far. Excellent work
I really liked your style And nice game concept Good luck🍀
Loved this game, this aesthetic, this graphics, this ambient music, this catapult, amazing. This is great game idea and execution is top notch.
Unique. Great mechanics. Good work :)
33 satellites :thumbsup: quite fun game. well done!
Nice work, And you have even implemented a global leaderboard, Would have been nice to have different orbit line colours, as it can get difficult to tell different orbits apart. Simple audio, but what do you expect in space? Would have been nice to have some ambient ominous background noise.
Simple and fun to play. Could use a different rendering for existing vs launching trajectories.
Actually a very fun game even though it is so simple to play. Perfect implementation of the theme. Good work. Very unique to see a working high score list! That made it much better. By the way please delete my high score entry named "Imsorry". I was just having some "fun" with the game code.
Highly addictive game! Played for maybe an hour?! Nice graphics and great atmosphere. I liked how you could set speed and angle, as well as toggle trajectories. I really got into planing and trying to figure out optimal strategies. As of writing I'm second on the scoreboard, but I might get back tomorrow for another go, as I'm sure I can break into thr 3-digits. Awezome job. Loved it!
@reax When you say fun with the code, I'm guessing you found our git repository :P Thanks for being honest, I've taken your score out.
This is excellent. The best thing I have played so far! My first "top marks all round" too for this jam. Really impressed. Cool idea, well executed, feels great to play, scoreboard is a stroke of genius and just wow. Love this! Well done!
I really enjoyed this game. The mood was great and I love the trajectory trail.
great game, the music sounds like Universe Sandbox 2 music, and the explosion at the end scared me. i was only able to get 20 satellites, it's actually hard!
All fives
Surprisingly polished and addictive! God damn good job
Nice work with this game, the music, innovation and graphics are awesome!
I had so much fun playing it ! 5 stars game !
Really cool entry! Loved the preview effect for your launches! Thanks for sharing this with my stream! here's a link to the vod: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/297569760?t=03h18m49s
Awesome game! loved the energy and mood of this entry!
Very cool idea and it looks very good, with nice details like lighting on the dark parts of the earth, awesome job there! I really love these physics simulators but I think as a game it gets boring pretty fast and is very much luck based. I hope you use the physics and graphics you implemented to make something which has a bit more purpose.
cool game!
