Space Game Where You Fling Ships Into Planets To Deliver Shipments

Nice little gravity game. I like the concept of trying to make the most of each fling by using the gravity to slingshot yourself around, though in practice it's incredibly difficult to use and I had a hard time getting even half the deliveries needed because of how tough it is to escape a planets gravity. Probably the most frustrating part was not knowing quite when I would be able to fling again since it has a hidden internal cooldown. I kept wanting to fling more often for more fun.

But still, thanks for the game! I had fun

Hey Cypheus, thanks for the review :) I agree the balancing could be far better, however there is a meter which shows when your next move is ready -- only appearing when on cooldown under the stamina bar. Perhaps it's too small :P

Cool idea, but I never got past the first level. It seemed too complicated. Most of all I liked how the player behaves under the influence of gravity. I liked the graphics in some places, but somewhere on the contrary it seemed that something was missing. It's like a good minimalistic style is mixed in with asset graphics that don't fit the aforementioned style.

is this a strand type game

I thought it was very satisfying to watch the ship draw orbits around a nearby planet - I would definitely spend a fair amount of time in a mode where you just try and set up complex orbits with nearby planets. I think I might also echo other sentiments that it might be a little overtuned for the first level - I wasn't able to beat it either after about a dozen attempts or so.

That being said though the actual core of the idea is very very satisfying to get right and the visuals really help that out - the trail was a great bit of polish and a great idea.

the more fun i had with the game is when i was in a orbital loop and could fling my self from planet to planet. though if i messed up and landed in space it felt meh. way more fun with the gravity stuff.

Best. Title. Ever.

The orbiting was probably the best part of the game--very satisfying to watch. Decent audio, simple but effective controls, overall a solid entry. Nice work!

Tough as nails, but enjoyable orbital mechanics! Sick design for the main menu as well.

Very fun, love the experience! Easy to learn, hard to master, your gravity system is well implemented!

Ok, it was quite a while to understand how to deliver packages.

The gravity feels really good, and I like jump from one planet to another. As it's said earlier I wish to see the endless mode too :)

Very fun to play with physics, but gameplay is lack of goals or some fun. There is only fan in gravity, orbiting and so on. Nice simulation, and great potential for some finished game

Good, the orbiting physics and movement were fun to play around with. Enjoyed this game, though I did wish the music looped a bit better and the map were a bit bigger. Totally expected for a game made in such a short amount of time though. Great job!

Orbital sim done well, and it was fun flying around the different maps, though it is lacking a bit of polish

In general, it turned out to be fun). Albeit very simple in terms of graphics. Maybe it was worth giving the player a little more time, as it seems to me, but you probably tested it and I think it's possible to end the game.

i like this kind of gravity games, i found controls easy to use, and i was happy to maneuver my spaceship better run after run! good entry, well done!
