Fun idea I think could be developed further. If the flare or space trail worked opposite it would look like rocket flares form a spacecraft - that would make action more intuitive to me. Also a lot more floating in space could add to ambience. It struck me odd to have downward gravity in free space? Enjoyable and refreshing!

it's nice that you like it! your suggestions can be updated to the game to be offered as a cosmetic option, why not? I also have some good ideas for the background, I realise it's a bit sketchy, it will be updated over time.

there is actually no downward gravity, this is a scene we encounter because the current attractor is null. it needs to be tweaked so that we encounter it less.

Thank you for your interest ^ ^

Nice try! A bit difficult to control at the beginning. Great idea around gravity and loop

I would love your rating to my game!

I loved the idea of playing with the gravity of the planets, but it was pretty tough for me, I reached 106!

Congrats on your game!

it may be a bit difficult to control your movements at first, but I'm sure you'll get used to it very easily ^^
thanks <3

this reminds me so fondly of old flash games! something like exploding kitten. the music sounds so familiar - like a slowed down version of that one daft punk song from random access memories? either way, i think this is such a fun idea! only note is i wish there were like powerups i could get or something that would make each run a bit different!

Developer(+1)

yeah, I especially wanted the game to have a retro vibe. and you're right about the song, it's a modified version of Motherboard.
good to hear you had fun playing! I agree with your note, it's already on my to-do list ^____^
