I was like "where are the controls?" but sure enough you have a thing showing the controls I just missed it completely "yeah yeah let me play cool space game". Honestly enjoyed every minute of it. Great stuff!

super relaxing game to put some music on in the background and just slingshot around lol. would love an endless mode
Interesting use of gravity! I spent a while immersed in it
Its fun flinging around the planets, are they look so pretty and unique! Congrats on a great entry
Fun and relaxing game with incredible sound design! I would have prefered if you would have to avoid the planets but the zen-like experience without the extra challenge was fun too
It's an interesting idea, I like your graphics. It looks very stylish, well done!
Audio doesn't work for me :-(
I was struggling a bit with controls at the start, but after couple of clicks and tries i figured it out. Fun game, really enjoyed slinging myself in space and music is really good. Great job, thank you for your game!
Awesome concept and art style. Little hard to get this bubbles with resources, maybe make them bigger a little bit. Good job!
very relaxing and chill, I liked the music a lot :)
Really interesting use of gravity as a game mechanic! It would be great to have sound controls, though, as the audio was a bit too quiet for me. I had to turn my speakers all the way up to hear it clearly.
Very relaxing game, once you get the hang of the gravity mechanic, you can propulse yourself with ease in the direction you want by grabbing a few planets !
i completely forgot that i needed to come back to earth afterwards tho, good thing we have GPS in space !
Now add some bad guys and a particle beam and you're all set 👽
Super ambient and style. Html version works fine on mac. It might be a little to hard to collect such small resources, but on the other hand it s so relaxing.
Fun and even relaxing experience. It's fun flinging around from planet to planet
Very relaxing entry.
The relaxed difficulty paired with the moody relaxing music and the simple relaxing controls made for a very relaxing experience, ha!

Loved the game loop, started just for curiosity and stayed a lot longer than expected playing it. Very good vibe and chill game! Congratulations!
I love everything about this game - except that I wish the collision on the elements was a little more generous (I was playing with a trackpad though, so that didn't help me).
I particularly loved that way that the Earth colours itself back in as you save it. The music is great and I love the way it looks.
That's very interesting concept and for me it is really something new and fun. Really enjoyed saving earth this time
Very interesting mechanics of flying in space. It was very funny to use planets to aim at resources. Played 3 times, still not tired)
Quite interesting concept! Is really nice when you just travelling around and get a lot of speed, makes it a really enjoyable experience! I wish sometimes that you could control the camera instead of the player, since I got lost on space without any planets when was trying to get back to earth some couple of times. Its overall a really nice game! the visuals are quite crispy, the concept is really interesting and theres a lot of run for a very nice kinda flow! Nice work, thank you! :)
Love the style of the game, it's very pretty visually and also the controls were really fun loved hooking to planets and launching myself in any direction I wanted, it made collecting the resources a really fun process, it's also a take on the theme I haven't seen done much. I
I like the gameplay of swinging your way in the space. Is it intentional that you can do sharp turns when doing rapid clicks?
Visually this is very pleasing to watch. Audio wise it could use some space ambience and simple collect sound(s).
I found the UI top right to be in my way when trying to clicking on a planet beneath it.
Good job!

Audio only works on itch.io for some reason :( Thanks for playing, though!
@cluster7ck Are you sure about the audio? I was playing on itch and heard nothing.
@CodeRaurus oh I think it is just very quiet. I will see if we can fix the levels. Thanks for raising it 👍
Really cool game! Pretty innovative movement system, but it's also intuitive and I got the hang of it pretty quickly. It felt great swinging between the planet, figuring out when and where to best tether myself to turn or slow down / speed up. The fuel was generous enough that I don't think I ever got below 90%. The art style is great, I love that the pickups are very distinct from all the other entities. The Earth changing as you slowly fix it was pretty great addition, too, really helped to enforce the sense of progression. The background music is amazing as well, some nice gentle synths to make the whole experience totally relaxing. :)

Although the orbiting concept has been done before quite a few times, I think you put a nice twist on it with the controls being clicking the planets themselves, and I found the gameplay very relaxing with the game being quite forgiving (I thought for sure I would die if I crashed on the planets), and the beautiful graphics + subtle score to accompany the journey.
This was a super relaxing trip to space, I did it in 10 years, good space game! Well done!
photo_2025-04-19_09-44-31.jpg Yay! I'm actually gratefull for a relaxing game for a change in this jam :D it's a bit too much horrors this time for my liking! This game was all I needed: simple, easy to learn, enjoyable and cute. I liked the colors of the planets, I enjoyed going back home to Earth (guuuys, don't die just yet, I've got caught in a stupid innertia sequence!!). Overall, super cute, I would play this on phone just to get my mind off things :)
Cool game, very relaxing. Love the music and the colors are very very nice on the eyes. Started my stream in a good mood because of this one, thanks for submitting!
