[h1]Core Gameplay[/h1] If you're old enough to remember the arcade game Lunar Lander, this works on the same principle. You launch a rocket (with limited fuel) and fire the booster to adjust your velocity and vector to intercept the targets, using the gravity wells of asteroids to slingshot your way around. Crashing into objects (or your own mothership!) destroys your rocket but you can launch new ones as many times as necessary to hit all the targets. Flares from the mothership help you to plot the initial trajectory your rocket will take so you can hit the first target without much trouble but you need to try and hit multiple targets per rocket because each one costs money and if your overall profit falls short you fail the mission. You can view the level in impressive 3D by moving the camera angle but the play itself operates on a 2D plane. There are 4 camera modes, some are better than others depending on the level layout. On completion of a level you get a printout of your stats, including colourful ribbons for exceptional performance. You're graded Gold, Silver, Bronze or Blue (fail) and on the section overview (star system) each level (planet) glows at a different intens…

This is bad and it would be best to stay away from it.

Came for the gravity puzzles, stayed for the writing and social commentary. The game lacks a little polish, but has a lot of heart.

hard to control through a keyboard..still doing the test :P

Tags: Casual - Object Routes & Flinger Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: The control scheme is hard to get down. There are a ton of variables in play and the game expects too high a mastery for progression for the game to be enjoyable. If they simplified it too much it would probably make their additional features feel superfluous and out of place so I understand why they did it. It just makes the game into a complex physics/math problem everytime you try to get anything done. An attempt to make 0rbitalis/Gravity Badgers type planet ball flinger into a fully fledged PC entertainment title. Clunky controls. Clunky User Interface. Slow tedious play experience. Stringent efficiency quotas. Non intuitive visual representation (turning a dial up for thrust power reduces rockets range for example) all contribute to worsen the experience to the point where the casual offerings probably outshine it. Calculate an angle, attribute power, work with gravity, and use a limited amount of thruster fuel to launch and guide rockets to hotspots. Voice acted. Semi 3D view with the ability to move camera halfway through full circle inside a predefined cylindrical pl…
