[Gargamel]

On mobile.   
 

howsbthiswork?!    
 

Hmmmmm…. WHOA!   Ok ok ok

 

ok… zero’d out relative to the background.  
 

Full thrust!!!    Look at me go!    I think I’m slaloming between planets!  

oh   Boink!   Hey I bounced!  

[Deddly]

Something tells me I won't be getting out of this one.

 

I have found four different ships so far

[Nazalassa]

The thing crashed my web browser like seven times when loading a planet.

Doesn't change that much from KSP.

[Ryaja]

I have flew too fast, I have become the Icarus of a random web game.

Spoiler

Oh and when I thrust it goes backwards now. It's spaceflight simulator with indestructible parts on all over again.

Oh you got to the sun remnant? I've been stuck there for like five hours yesterday.

No, I was just referring to that I was too ambitious, I played for about 5 seconds and went too fast...

[Nuke]

it gave me my torch ship fix for abit. 

[Minmus Taster]

I don't get it, how do you do anything? how does this work?

On you need to use the keys, this is cool!

[RiveraTheScientist]

Meanwhile, I've found the Great Attractor.

Or it has found me...

[Nuke]

looks like they are at it again.

https://xkcd.com/2765/

its more game-like this time, there are powerups, puzzles to solve, and items to find. thats pretty much the makings of an adventure game. i spent four hours minimum playing around in it.

You guys seen the crack in the crystal sphere? Got through it? I don't have enough thrust yet

Me neither, but I could see the top last time I tried.

You need the hyperdrive to get enough thrust

to get the hyperdrive you need to find all 4 boston subway tokens

to find the subway tokens you need to uncloak the boston subway planet

to uncloak the boston subway planet you need to get to morgantown, WV in the subway planet

watch out for the air and space museum black hole

[Nazalassa]

Suggestion for next version: add orbital trajectories, as well as Ap/PE markers, and an altitude display (and an AP/PE height display).

[Nuke]

yea ive been beyond the crystal sphere. its got quite a gravity well. 

Spoiler

there is the star destroyer and corelian frigate from the hoverboard comic, there is also a large planet with a lot of tiny people on it, which oddly enough doesnt have gravity, but the crystal sphere does and its kind of hard to explore. i havent found anything else yet. i put myself on what i think is an orbit just above the star destroyer, left it running and never hit anything. i may have hit escape velocity though.

i think you can mod the game via the dev console. im not sure how to download a copy though, its been an eternity since i did webdev and my knowledge is damn rusty.
