Our games are kind of similar :)

Fun little game you've made! Really slippery controls, but that's expected in space I guess :D

Couldn't make it to the end, but had a good time trying! Not sure if it's firefox or some other issue but I would get random huge framerate drops that would cause me to lose control and hit stuff, so I ended up kinda rage quitting before I could reach the end. Maybe it works better in chrome or safari? In any case it's a nice challenge, and the "no sound in space" really added to the ambiance :laughing: Nice job!

Dude why make that end so hard! FINALLY i was saw the pwer cell close but no, my velocity didnt reach and black hole ate me :(

Lovely janky jam game. The movement was intresting, wacy, challenging and fun.

Some effect for getting hit would have been nice, i didnt notice that i got dmg sometimes since the movement is quite intensive to control.

Nice!

@daandruff Totally realistic space movements :thumbsup:

@youcarryoats Unfortunatly the problem exist in chrome as well. I myself rage quit the game at first. Tried to make it easier for like 2 hours but this was near the end of the jam, so my brain stopped working a long time before that. I ended up adding 3 lives and hoped this would be enough lol

@prunus-padis The special effects was on the list, but the list itself is missing, probably lost forever in the space now. Is it hard to finish the game, yes. Did I tried to make it easier, also yes. Why the hell it is still so hard to finish, I don't know, space I guess... xd

Thanks for playing :)

had a nice time with this, at first i wasn't sure what was causing the game to restart, then i noticed the lives going down. could use an explosion around the character when you lose a life!

nice work

Good job. I enjoyed whipping around space. It wasn't until my 3rd play-through that I finally realized I had lives and I was loosing them by crashing into the moons. :laughing: I was just having fun rocketing around and didn't understand why I was randomly getting game overs. It was fun!

@mollusk @the3rdhunter The life count added last minute since the game was too hard :D Special effects and stuff couldn't make it to the end and forever will be lost in space.

Thanks for playing :)

Fun but very difficult game, black holes are messing me up everytime :smiley:

phlip45 2025-04-08 17:46

Took me a while to get a hang of the movement, and once I did it took me a while to make it through all the way to the fuel with a generous 1 life remaining. Then I got the fuel and it said to go back home and I laughed real hard.

ali-yagmur 2025-04-08 18:45

@phlip45 hahahaha... The cover image says it, a very hard game indeed :D Thanks for playing and the comment made me laugh like the main evil antagonist of a crappy movie.

Now that's a real challenge! I loved the physics and the attention to detail with sound in space =)

thesmellofoxygen 2025-04-11 20:29

Wow, the gravity of the bodies really makes this one tough.

atsh 2025-04-13 14:46

I both liked and hated the gravity of the planet :) maybe less density cam make this one feel more controlable

gdman 2025-04-13 22:34

Veeeery hard game, but somewhat enjoyable. Twice I've got to power but by that time PC overheating and beginning to throttle, sigh. Keep up good work!

eugenik 2025-04-14 04:31

Very fun game!.

noagard 2025-04-14 09:12

Gravity chaos😄 I enjoyed the challenge, even if I got sucked into a black hole more times than I’d like to. Great job with the feel of the movement and the space vibes!

flightless 2025-04-21 20:21

Wow, that was hard - I also encountered quite a bit of lag spikes that killed me. Not sure it that was only on my end. Realistic black holes, that you cannot get away from if you get too close :smile:

xparker 2025-04-23 17:28

Like it very much. I assume the maps is not random generated, is it?

koalabear 2025-04-23 17:41

3 lives is hard but i enjoyed the game
