Pretty good game. I like the audio design, it feels very atmospheric. I feel like the game would be more fun if it was more fast-paced. Currently you are rewarded for going very slow, which is not very fun. I got 6 planets on my first try.
I agree a little slow but overall pretty good.

Nice game that hits the theme well. Loved a good slingshot around a planet.

I love gravity based game. Music is very moody. The spacecraft is very small and I somtime had issues of understending where it was turned.
The game is challenging but the control is what makes it fun. The art is very cute and I like the font you are using. It is a little too hard to escape from large planets though they absorbs me like a black hole lol. Great job.

Collision audio was kinda scare jump to me, but background atmosphere were pretty good in my point of view. Simple controls, but not too easy: Enough challenge for multiple game sessions.
And that's why I'm not a NASA operator. I couldn't do anything XD The gravity was pretty fun tho.

I only managed to get 8 planets but the gravity is sick. The mood is really dark tho, I liked that :)

Great design, though it's challenging controlling your character. Gravity surprised me, good mechanic. Overall, neat atmospheric game with solid mechanic and clear purpose to play

Challenging to get used to the controls, but fun once I got the hang of it and figured how to do drive-bys on planets. I was able to get 6 planets before fuel ran out. Could be interesting if there was a mechanic to refuel from planets or some other source to delay your fuel running out.
Gives me slight Outer Wilds vibes (which is a very good thing!) I like that you have to use gravity to do well, it's kind of calming floating through space.

Really liked this one, control take a bit of getting used to to conserve fuel but thats not a bad thing, well done on a great entry
Movement feels cool and funny, nice style, but the game overall feels a little bit slow
ooo got surprised when gravity started pulling me in! nice work with the physics. I also felt like turning the ship is a bit too slow (or rather, it's hard to switch momentum) but I know how tough it is to tweak things atop of having to do everything else, so no biggie

Explore the mysterious universe is interesting, maybe getting some rewards on new planet is better!
You executed your concept, it has the space vibe. it will be nicer if you could add more features, maybe some items to add fuel (to delay the final burnout), some responses from different planet.

Nice game! Love the space physics on this one. The gameplay is good and not wonky. The map is kind of big which I found cool. Maybe the sound of the flame is not the best though. Good job!

this sound make really cool atmosphere, good job
This was really cool, although I wasn't very good at it :D The spacey setting fits really well. Great work!
Felt nostalgic of the gravity-based games from many years ago. Nice to play it!

Cool physics! Took me a while to get used to the ship.
Wish the game was a bit faster paced!

Seems like we had the same idea :grin:. I did find the signal mechanic a bit confusing at first, but it wasn't too hard to figure out. Nice job!
