Space Loop by IndivisibleParticles
Your home planet is in danger. Your research of black holes might be the only way to save it. So you and your crew undertake a mission with no way of coming back. Endure as long as possible in the orbit of a black hole to give your planet a chance to survive.
Controls:
Up - W / Up arrow
Down - S / Down arrow
Update: We added a build for web with one visual change. We moved game over menu from left side of the screen to bottom in the web build so it will be displayed better.

Overall it's a great first jam entry. Well done! ;)
The music makes appropriate atmosphere and I really like the overall aesthetics.
Be cool to try a variation with one button, where gravity is pulling you down and the button pushes you out.
Only other thing I thought was it would be cool if the nose of the ship dips down when moving down and up when going up.
Great little game and well done!!!
@tom-a Also good ideas, thanks. The thing with nose dip would be a cool visual enhancement. We thought about it but evidently it got lost somewhere in the three days of development. :)
Thank you both for the feedback.
Having the player rotate around the blackhole was a clever change to an existing formula.
The speed of the ship is higher the further away from the black hole. It would've been nice for the speed to be the same regardless of the distance.
In any event, good job for your submission ! :)
Also very good visuals in my opinion - perhaps a bit more complex gameplay (like being able to move faster) would improve the gameplay.
Great effort for a third game overall :)
We will definitely play with the difficulty curve and try to implement more gameplay features to make it more interesting for the player.
