Beyond Orbit by Zypo

[raw]
made by Zypo for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

Beyond Orbit

Developed for LDJam 47 Theme: Stuck in a Loop

You play the spaceship of Buddy Lightbeard, and you have taken a mission to destroy all of the planets in the star system! This is the last mission right?

To win, you must learn the orbiting mechanics of the game and orbit each planet. You must then orbit the home planet to win :) I wonder what secrets lie at the endgame ;) ?!??

Good game mechanics, graphics and music. My only complaint is that the song restarts whenever you decide to restart after dying.

Hey cool game man. it would be nice to control the sound of the game. The music was a bit loud. Exceptional job!

Funky music :D Good game, a bit hard. I destroyed all of the planets except one, and crashed... Noooo... Really cool concept :)

@chesschaser Hey! Well - there is a "Cell Fracture" add-on in blender that allows you to fracture a sphere! The planets don't really blow up, the 3d model gets replaced with shards from the new model.

Groovy! I didn't manage to win yet but I wanna know what lies beyond the victory, or should I say "beyond orbit"

I could only destroy a couple of planets, but great job. The story at the beginning was funny. It's too bad there's that noticeable blip when the text wraps. I've never worked with moving text that's getting spelled out in real time in Unity before, so I can't wrap my head around what's causing it.

The game was really enjoyable all aroung, really simple yet challenging enough to get you to try once more.

It was so fucking difficult. The plus side is that I spent 30 Minutes on this game and the mechanics were really fun, but dying 4 times with 1 planet left was mildly infuriating. Sometimes I had 3-4 planet remains in the orbit of the last planet. I was in a spaceship, not in a drift car.

Wow, that was difficult. Not the gameplay itself, but one mistake and your whole run is over. I died three times with one planet left and two times with no planet left. The main concept wasn't so obvious in the beginning because I orbited the main planet and couldn't figure out why it wasn't destroyed. But after the second planet, I understood.
Overall a cool entry!
