I gave this a 5 for "Mood"! This game in full-screen was a dream. Really polished!
Really impressed so see this sort of gravity physics in Pico-8. I had a hard time understanding the goal though, maybe added some more to the description would help?
The math involved in space orbits makes my head hurt! Nice implementation of it in a simple form! I had a few "stable loops" only to then zip off into space, but I like the idea.
Wow, really cool take on the theme, and like others have said, super impressive you were able to get this done in time. Took me a little bit to figure out what the goal was, and to navigate the menus, but that might be due to me not being very familiar with Pico-8. Overall though, one of the most impressive things I've seen so far, great work!
This is super awesome, and I cant believe that you were able to do it on Pico-8. Props, the game is super fun!
wow, super cool use of Pico-8, like others have said! your take on the theme is very creative.
I made the exact same mistake when publishing my game! Graphics were very cool, love the style and idea. Maybe a restriction of Pico-8, but I think this game would be a lot better with mouse controls. Manipulating power and angles in a game is necessarily trial and error, and that ends up being a lot of key presses.
Took me a minute to figure out the goal but once I got over that it was a very solid and interesting game. The graphics were well done and it was a cool aesthetic. Well done.
Simple yet compelling, super interesting game mechanics. Would be much better if it could have any sound!
Nice physics at play here, and it fits the theme well. Bonus points for using Pico8, my favourite!
Indeed impressive physics! That Z makes you go back to the main menu was a bit tricky at times, I'd perfectly align my trajectory only to end up in the menu, haha. Glad to see more pico-8 jams 😄
Intuitive example of 'sensitive dependence on initial conditions'! It's fun to find a promising spot in the input space, then search 'nearby' for better and better trajectories!
