Aim of the game: Destroy the enemy ships before they destroy you! Bonus stars are given for not taking hits and another secret laser-based challenge.

Try to use the gravitational pull of the planets to slingshot and avoid enemy lasers. Added bonus of avoiding being spun off at ludicrous speed by the centre of the planets gravitational pull (or try to finish the game in that style, whatever works for you).

Controls: Either WASD or Arrow keys for thrust/reverse and rotation, spacebar for lasers. I also put in joypad joystick control but didn't get chance to try this out so any trial and feedback is appreciated.

This game was made for a game jam (theme = Gravity) and I used this as a challenge to try make a game style that I hadn't previously.

Went in expecting a very different game than what I got. 


Not necessarily a bad game, just that it controls like a drunk guy wearing a blindfold, but I guess that's kind of the point.
