Endless Orbit by Hofendrior

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

Your spaceship has malfunctioned and you're stuck in orbit around a dead planet. Collect resources and power up your warp drive to escape. You need to be inside the ship and have 10 of each resource to upgrade the ship. You probably need to do that a few times...

Not quite the game I imagined, but this is as far as I got with a framework i've never tried before. Plenty of experience for next time.

Almost all art assets were made by a friend who was less than impressed with my programmer assets ;)

tab : Zoom

space : Enter/Exit ship (only possible when zoomed in)

WASD : Move (you need to exit first)

Great theme interpretation. Graphics is ok, gameplay also. I like it)

Nice concept, I think we have a similar interpretation on the theme. I really like the way the planet casts a shadow on things, also the orbits of the resources were cool, although it was a shame you couldn't go too far away from your ship to grab them all. A little more polish like music and SFX or some more feedback would be nice, but it's a really solid entry, well done!

The concept is there! I quite liked the smooth zoom animations, but the game is maybe just bit too short. With a little bit more time it could have been a fun game.

Really cool, I LOVE seeing all the different theme interpretations. I wish the game was longer and had a bit more depth to it. I like the orbits of the resources- very cool,

I love the way you implemented the orbiting with the planet shadow.

Nice and interesting concept, great work!

More content and visual feedback would be nice.

I'm not sure, but probably found bug after building. My spaceship disappered - and game stuck. I have no idea what happens. But game looks ok, but can be a little boring. Fine concept

I tried to play the Linux build of the game but it seems that the games does not register any input.
Let me know if you update it so that i can give you feedback and a rating !
