Really awesome!

Cool game and concept. The controls are intuitive, and I like the music as well. In terms of feedback, I like a bit more variety in game play, for example dodging meteoroids, or collecting spare tanks may be nice. Also, the thrust animation appears at the bottom of the spaceship every time, which does not make sense when the spaceship is under Earth lol. Other than that, well done.

Really cute game!

Very nice game! The first time I used up my spare tanks way too soon, in my second round I used them more sensible and that's when the game really opened up. Nice sound effects, nice graphics, I didn't encounter any bugs. However one time one of my tanks spawned so close to the planet that I could not collect it without crashing.

Interesting interpretation for the theme. Good job!

I love the artstyle a lot, and the music sounds really nice and chill, the gameplay is decent and keeps you hooked up, I love it :smile:

Very cute and I really liked the sounds and music. I think the satelite should somehow at least rotate so the thurster's fire would go on the right direction.

Orbital mechanics are real! This is a fantastic and unique interpretation on the theme!! Really nicely done, thanks for uploading!

Really unique! Love the simplistic art style and music! only thing is that, though it makes sense, when you run out of fuel, you can't deploy any of your spare tanks, had no clear indication that was going to happen, but that didn't ruin the game. Great entry!

Very unique idea! I liked the music :)

Love it! Thanks for making this gamepad friendly :)

Would love to see this expanded to include some environmental hazards.

That was a neat little idea, but I wish there was something more active to do. As it stands I spent most of the 2 minutes that I survived just kind of sitting there waiting for the ship to get closer to earth and then boosting a bit. It made me wish there were asteroids or something to dodge, to make something a little more active

Nice game! :smile: I just wished there was a bit more to do but the mechanics were solid, the sound and art were also great and it fit the theme very nicely :wink: One of my spare tanks spawned almost inside earth though :sweat_smile: Good job!

Cool idea, I enjoyed it! Music and art was nice as well! Only issue I had was that I passed right through my fuel tank once and got no fuel. Good entry though!

Cool concept! The art is great.

Simple but fun!
