LavaLampSpaceMission by Fabian G
Can you reach the magic spot in this Lava Lamp Space without running out of juice?!
Traversing the environment with your Lava Lamp Shuttle will deplete your juice reserves, the collision with flying rocks is fatal too!!!
However if you hook them, your reserves will slowly regenerate. They refill at once when getting pulled to an orb!!!
Ty for playing!
Controls:
R - restart
Left/Right - docked: turn ship if / flying: shoot anchor
Space - docked: take off / flying: reset anchor / stranded: restart at last orb

Regarding refuel: as long you are hooked to an asteroid, you wont lose fuel but instead slowly regain some :-)
Also: I didn't like the keyboard layout for restarting - sometimes I would fly off towards a thingy by accident, and would have wished to restart from the last orb immediately - but this not an option. Also, since "R" is so common for "restart the last level", I pressed it twice wanting to go to the last orb, but instead going to the start, which was sad (especially since I did it both times at what turned out to be the second to last orb!)
I like the slow travel to an extend, it is sometimes hard to figure out where to go, and it is long when you missed your jumping window and have to wait to do a complete rotation around the asteroid.
Graphics are fine, I would have loved some audio to put me more in the mood!
Overall, a strong entry with a nice idea, congrats :)
