Fun game. I really appreciate how many options we get when issuing commands, seems like a lot of detail for a jam game!

Didn't play through the whole thing (I plan to later!!) but this is SO cool for a jam game. I love the decision to require the player to actually manually slow their velocity instead of applying a magical space drag! I would totally play a full game of this.
I was really annoyed when it was over, I just wanted it to keep going. I love physics games like this, and to combine it with a programming game is just over the top.
Pretty impressed with this course :)
Awesome amazing little game!

Yay @tolmera Great work! nice clean simple solutions
The game is a lot of fun. Great job! OnerousOrbit.png
This is fun! I wish there were more fine grained controls for waiting, rotating, and thrusting, but that's part of the challenge. I prefer the levels that have gravity.
Yeah i kept going, i couldnt stop.OnerousOrbit3.pngOnerousOrbit2.png
ncie solutions @milano23 very clean
Oh what an excellent take on the puzzle game genre! I could easily get lost in this for hours. Great work!
Super fun! The graphics look really nice (I love the little keyboard UI), and the entire concept was fun to play around with. Took me a second to get the hang of things (esp with rotation), but that process was enjoyable too.
Very satisfying to play. Was a bit confused on the fact that I could not delete previous actions be pushing reset, but otherwise very nice gameplay and nicely teamed graphics.
Cool game, has potential!
Holy moly it is supercool. I know for sure i'll never work for NASA now haha. But really felt the mood as i tried to figure out how to order everything to reach the objectives. Wish there was a speed up option sometimes because it probably took me 25 tries on the 3rd level with asteroids lol.
@brian-russell The speed up option would be cool! Thanks for playing!
Amazing game, I really enjoyed controlling the little probe. Thanks!
What a fun challenge! I loved the trial and error aspect of it. My poor little probe exploded so many times, but it got there eventually :)
This is great! It's nice to see another robot programming game. I like your interface too. The camera button surprised me. I wasn't aware it was a 3D game until I clicked it. Well done!
This was a lot of fun! It took me a little bit too long to realize I could pick different values for each command and I killed far too many little probes! Maybe I should've tried more math instead of trial and error! Really enjoyed the game!
A really solid concept! With a few additions to diversify the gameplay—like ship upgrades or different types of obstacles—I’d definitely buy a full version of this game!
Super clean entry, good music, nice game mechanics, good art... Very well done!
The sounds that plays when the satellite leaves the play area is super familiar... but can't place it. Great game. Really liked the pseudo programming aspect. The line changing colors to match the commands was a good touch. Would be nice to get leaderboards for fewest commands, least fuel, and shortest duration. Would be really cool to have to control multiple ships and have them dock / or miss each other. + moving obstacles etc. Nice entry!
Nice game, it was really hard to master. I was so surpised to find it was 3D when i clicked the camera button. Great work
