Satellites by GameDevSourcery

[raw]
made by GameDevSourcery for Ludum Dare 54 (JAM)

Launch satellites into orbit but watch out space is limited!

There are three game modes:

  • Standard: The standard satellites experience, launch satellites into orbit at increasingly greater heights and speeds. Greater Speed + Greater Height = Higher Score. The maximum orbit height will increase/decrease for every 10 satellites in orbit
  • Sandbox: Mess around with unrestricted access to orbit height and speed
  • One Layer: try to fit as many satellites on one layer as you can.

This game is pretty fun to play with and requires the players to strategize how to arrange the satellites to prevent collision.

Bem divertido, gostei do esquema de quanto mais satelites mais perigoso colocar outros em orbita

Nice concept for a game, had a little trouble understand I could change the satellite spawn distance. The planet was a little small for me to see it properly, but really liked the idea and loved the collision on the satellites.

Very creative game, I like it. The only problem is the adaptation of the web page, which must be full screen to see the keys.

It takes a few launches before you can affect altitude and speed, so it felt like something was missing or bugged since i had to play without interactions maybe, reduce the conditions to get the first lvl up

neat idea it would have been fun if satellites could change layer because of their speed, and if the debris that is send into space ended up falling back

anyway it works, so well done on your solo entry !!

The sandbox mode was the most fun - playing with different speeds and orbit distances to create interesting patterns and effects. As a strategy/puzzle game I'm not sure the other modes were very effective - maybe the pacing and build-up was too slow, but as a fun thing to play around with, sandbox mode was great.
