Nice job scoping and polishing. Feels like a good length with a nice set of levels.

- gameplay was interesting - not sure where the loops are - good scope/duration for a jam game - graphics were good - music loop could have been a bit longer, got repetitive towards the end - would have been nice if the level just restarted itself without the player having to click the 'restart level' button, after the the crash animation, having the ship ready to launch again would have been fine.

Finished all levels, and I really loved them. Well done, it's a nice idea and implementation. I didn't find the theme however. At first I thought that my be at some point you get stuck in one of the planets' orbit, but I didn't happen to me during the whole playthrough. Also, sometimes the ship wonders off, and you don't know if gravity will bring it back. Other than that, I loved it. Would definitely play some more levels if there were any.

Cheers.

Such a cute and nice game!! I loved the idea! I wish it had more levels, but it is understandable, its a gamejam hahaha Im just not so sure were are the loops. Maybe the planets fields?

This was a very fun game. The exact kind of game here is my jam. I love those gravity well games. Reminded me of the old Windows 95 Encyclopedia game where you could play with gravity wells. Really fun and charming game. Good job!

This is among the best I've played in the compo. Great idea, sound and execution!

Wheee! I think more detailed background space would have been nice. I could have used it to remember the places I clicked. Now finding the perfect trajectory was a bit trial and error in more difficult levels.

Solid planet-golf-like game. First of all, congrats on making it as a whole! Music is great, art is simple, but shade on planets giving them nice touch. Clever levels with several different mechanics. What could be improved - instant restart with button, some guide aim for mouse, and may be camera zooming out when spaceship flies out. Keep up good work!

Great game. I really enjoy these gravity puzzles. Making the ship and reset button a little more obvious would have cleared up some initial confusion I had, but overall this was an extremely fun game.

This game doesn't really stick the player in a loop, but I had a lot of fun trying to line up the perfect shots. The sound effect when the ship is launched is excellent. The restart button made it tricky to remember where my last shot was, so I had to try to eyeball it based on where the stars were. There's a solid mix of precision and timing here. Good work!

I really licked playing this one. It had the right mix of challenge and reward. I would have liked the level to reset on a click anywhere rather than having to move to the reset button. It will speed up the game loop. Good job

That was nice. I would have liked there to be more strategy instead of just adjusting the angle until you find something that works but I cant really think of way to achieve that. I think maybe if the player could somehow guess the trajectory more accurately that would help.

As a quality of life improvement I think you should automatically restart the level when the spaceship crashes or goes outside certain boundaries so the player doesn't have to click restart every time. Or at least add a restart hotkey.
