Orbited

Neat little entry! The main mechanic is interesting (reminds me slightly of [12 orbits](http://12orbits.com/)) and has a lot of potential.

The controls seemed a bit finicky, especially right-clicking to swap orbits. A lot of times it would take me multiple tries to get it successfully (maybe there's a threshold that could be a little more forgiving).

I didn't quite understand where the shooting fit into the gameplay, but I liked (visually) the variety of guns and projectile types!

Nice job! While I understand the game is incomplete (I assume you'd be shooting at the things on the planets with your gun?) it's still an interesting world to move around in. I liked the graphics, the music was a little simple but it worked with the space theme. My main issue with the game was that the camera would jump around when you swapped orbits and sometimes it felt like when you swapped orbits you went the wrong way in the new orbit. I imagined it would be like a figure eight where the cross in the middle of the eight is where you switched orbits so you keep your general direction, but sometimes it ended up being more like an m where you switched orbits and also dramatically changed direction. Sometimes you sped up strangely and that was also a little odd, but nice work. I hope you keep working on it and finish up the guns that you made since they looked fun and made some fun effects! Nice work.

I loved the music in this! It really helped build the atmosphere of being in space. I do think if this was worked on further, the results would be really cool!

Nice game! I liked how different models were made for the gun types, what a pity that the interaction when shooting couldn't be finished in time. I had fun playing, a bit scary when the monster following you is close and the next orbit speed comes out super slow! ahahah Well executed!

You did the graphics? Looks good regardless. The framerate seemed a little shaky on an older pc so the controls weren't very responsive but the mood and style were excellent and an interesting mechanic that just needs variety.
