You’re the new head of NASA and instructed to bring our expensive satellites into Earth’s orbit. But be cautious, we don’t have a lot of space in… space, so try to not hit the other satellites.

Funny and pretty !

Did you try with orbit and planet twice bigger and spaceship twice smaller ?

My compo's spaceship succeed to quit orbit ;-)

Thought I almost got it. But I ended up destorying 10 satellites in one game. Debris hit my satellites constantly. Max satellites up I got was 4. Interesting way to intrepet theme. Good game. Audio was really annoying, so I had to turn off my speakers.

Your game is very beautiful, but very hard. I can get only 2 points. High rates for you!!!

Very pretty, responsive controls and fun game. Challenging to say the least, but a really good idea and it really tests your planning and execution. Nice audio and graphics too!

I think this is a seriously clever concept and it was fun and challenging to play but not too hard. Really great job I am really impressed. My favourite game this jam so far. Thank you very much. I hope you do well! -RS

I enjoyed the game, it is a very unique twist on the theme.
The art style is nice a simplistic with the hearts and the fuel icons fitting in the scene very nicely.
However i did find that the amount of area you have to get the ships into orbit is a bit too small, allowing (probably just me) to get a max of two ships in orbit before everything collapsed in on me.
Overall a fun and enjoyable game.

Nice concept, simple to understand gameplay, hard to master, well polished. My high score was... 3. I really liked watching everything fall apart when my launch vehicle crashes into a satellite and sends debris flying into other satellites.

I took me some time to get at least one satellite in orbit, but then I got better. But more than five at a time was not possible for me. Nice game!

Loved this game, it looks simple but is enjoyable through the mechanics. The control of the rocket was challenging but could be figured out. What made it great was impacting objects and causing chain reactions.

I really liked this game! Especially the chain reactions once you got a few satellites up. Good job!

Solid entry. Simple mechanics, pleasing visuals, fitting audio. Everything worked together so well. Feel like with just a little more polish, and some more game modes, this could be a real game. Great job!
