Love it -- very cool!

Hard to grasp at first but neat! Keep up making games!

Took me a little while to realize 'space' was working, but then I started to get the hang of it. I ended up a reasonable distance from the planet, but a bit stuck as the chances of crashing into anything went down.

What a great idea! A perpetual sound for the fuel would've been helpful at first - I didn't realize fuel burned as long as you hold down space. But that didn't keep me from escaping the system! Fun game and a great take on the theme.

This is a simple idea but it was quite fun and I spent ages playing it! Some drawbacks are that it's possible to win even with only a few upgrades for the ship, and it's also hard to land on the outer planets (although that's not much of a problem since you can win the game without them).

Interesting idea but I found it difficult to aim my spacecraft. Maybe some system like in Kerbal Space Programm may help

I really like the concept of the game but unfortunately it was a bit too difficult, I struggled to control my ship to get it where I wanted to go and quickly ran out of fuel too.

Good game! I was initially very confused on how the game worked, even with the latest updated version explaining more things. It was not until I tried spending all my fuel to go in some direction that I hit one of the orbiting planets. That was when I realized this game has actual orbital mechanics that the thrust adjusts, allowing for all kinds of circular or elliptical patterns of orbit. The fun factor really kicked in then. Knowing what I know, I only had to upgrade my ship from crashing into three planets in order to have enough power to leave the system and win. Good humor at the end too! Once the game clicks, it becomes a fun space orbital type of game.

It was fun to toy to toy with all the physics settings in the game! The theme you chose is kinda close to our own game, but done an entirely different way ^_^
