Gravity Assist by Takexito

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

The essence of the game is to save as many people as possible from the star system, the star of which will explode in 60 seconds. To control the ship, you must use the gravity of the planets. Entering orbit, the planet attracts the ship and it gradually falls to the surface of a celestial body. You need to use acceleration to resist the force of gravity, but you should not overdo it either, because if it accelerates too much, the ship will fly out of orbit in a direction that you cannot control.

That is, you appear in a star system, use the orbits of the planets to gain speed and evacuate people from the same orbits (they are in capsules). And as soon as time starts to run out, you, together with all the evacuated people, move towards the black hole on the outskirts of the system, so that it will take you somewhere further away.

I suggest you play it yourself and leave your feedback in the comments. We will be very pleased.

I would love to understand this more but its all in Russian! It would be great to have an English option. I did like the mechanics though :)

Text was in Russian, but the mechanics and gameplay was fun, a pretty fun game to play once you get past the text.

I like the style and idea, but my translator can only go so far.
