Hi there.

First thoughts about the theme: "Yeah easy going!". Wrote a design document, then I started to develope. After hours I recognized that the game was not funny... cause it was crap. Then I started to think about alternative ideas. After a few minutes I started working on PlanB... a few hours later... damn... game was crap too. I decided to give up...

After playing one or two rounds of COD:Ghosts ambition was back again. Cause time was running, I thought about some really simple ideas.. basic gameplay, simple story, some challenging elements like achivement, a highscore and a progression indicator :)

Here it is: Through the Wormhole

Controlls: up and down keys to move the spaceship

What to do? You are flying your ship through a wormhole. In the wormhole are some gravity cascades you have to avoid. For every cascade you will travel one lighyear... If you traveled a special count of lightyears you can see wich star (reale ones, you can find them on wikipedia) you would have reached... There are many stars, nebulars and blackholes to discover... start your engines and play :)

If you want to play the most performant version of the game, you should download the windows version. The HTML5 Version is visually a little bit different (some animations removed)... use Chrome or Firefox please :)
