It could maybe benefit from a little bit of guided no-core time before introducing the death zone.

If I hadn't read the itch.io description, I would have no idea what to do. And the difficulty was brutal :sweat_smile:  \n\nTo the positives. Maybe I'm a bit biased, because I love space games, and I love PICO-8 games.  \nI loved the tiny graphics. The game felt very thought out and complete, It wouldn't surprise me to randomly stumble upon this on an 80s arcade machine. You even implemented different difficulties!  \nI felt the theme very much in this one. You're trying to get away from an exploding star, and are literally stuck in a loop waiting for your orbit to finally speed up enough to get away further.  \n\nThis was splendid, especially for a compo game :grin: :thumbsup: ","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Enad96","author_uid":"1215896","time":"2020-10-10T11:26:49Z","epoch":1602329209,"modified":1602329209,"text":"Feels really complete and polished.

I really dig the aesthetics and the sound design. The music would get rather repetitive pretty fast. The controls weren't very intuitive and I had trouble to understand, what I was supposed to do. After three tries and reading through the description texts on itch.io, I got the gist and was able to beat it afterwards. The orbit charge mechanic was cool and all, but it kinda felt weird that the planets didn't have any gravity. I think the game would've benefited from an actual physics system that would allow sling shooting yourself from planet to planet while running away from impending doom. The more \"arcady\" physics worked as well, but it lacked satisfaction. The theme integration was ok, but I didn't really feel like I was stuck in a loop mechanically. The loop\/oribit stuff was really my way out the whole mess :) Maybe there was a more meta approach to the theme hidden behind subtext?\n\nAll in all, a good compo. Nice art direction and pretty much bug free (at least for me). It also features a lot of stuff and game modes, which is nice. I still would've liked it more, if you focused a bit more on the core game play and how to make it really snappy and fun for the player. Good job non the less!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"natpat","author_uid":"1077099","time":"2020-10-22T17:28:46Z","epoch":1603387726,"modified":1603387726,"text":"A really innovative idea! One I'd got the hang of the controls, it really did feel like I was trying my best to fly away from the centre of some horrible explosion.
