Id love to see what you can achieve! Link any screenshots of things you've made (and any bugs as im sure they're many)
Features:

I wonder if there could be a remastered version of this with more parts and other stuff like better graphics
It's definitely on my to-do list. I've got another project I'm working on at the present but would certainly like to remake this with the entire solar system and some proper orbital pathing
cant figure out how to land, I can take off and orbit just fine, but when trying to land I hit the ground at mach 4.5 billion.
You can use the atmosphere to slow down a bit if you go belly first. Its a bit janky i'll admit.
Great game man!!! I love it! But I have a big question that how did you make orbital maneuvering??!
Aw thanks! Which part of the manoeuvring? The orbits themselves are just real-time with the objects being pulled towards the planet. The trajectory line is iterative with some maths for each step
Great space game!
this is a very great game but i cant install it in my pc i play it in my brother pc pls make 32 bit version so i can play it :(
Hey up. Yes I can do that. For windows?
yes windows 7
okdoke
Im not sure I still have the project files. I'll keep looking for you
are you find it?
I'm afraid I couldn't. Very sorry about that. In the future i'll ensure any games I make have both 64 and 32 bit versions :)
Good game but could use some work, my main problem is that whenever I try to land and reuse the asme rocket it blows up anyway. But it's still a very good game and I hope you keep working on it.
Thanks. Yeah I made it really quite hard to reuse the rocket. I might update it some time. Working on a higher project at the mo :)
Great to hear :)
