The goal of the game is to collect as many space gems as possible and return them to one of the planets. Run your ship over a gem to collect it, then land on a planet to get points. Your ship is refueled when it lands on a planet. Don't run out of fuel or you might be stuck in a loop of the planets gravitational pull. Each round last 2 minutes.

Played it simultaneously with my girlfriend. Really interesting use of the Twitch platform~
You should maybe share the link to this LD47 page for you game in more places, as I had trouble finding it on the stream page.

I don't think I've ever seen a game like this before where we literally play it on twitch. I'm not sure if I was feeling the stuck in the loop game, but overall interesting concept. Nice job :)

Interesting idea. I think the main problem is you need to be quite precise in order to pickup bits and land on planets. This might work better if everything was on a grid and you put in exact number of grid spaces to move and you were competing with others to grab up bits before them. but with the twitch delay it's almost impossible. Always fun to see new things tried out for twitch games though!
