> about

A physics flying game about momentum. You pilot a salvage ship with no brakes — only gravity wells and a prayer. Chain slingshots around planets to collect debris before the sun collapses. Ninety seconds per run, leaderboard at the end, instant restart. Built in a weekend after a single prompt about 'Kerbal but for one thumb'.

// the origin prompt

Make a 3D space game where you slingshot around planets using real gravity. One-button thrust. It should feel like Kerbal but playable with one thumb.

The gravity feel is unreasonable for something prompted into existence in a weekend. Run 14 is my personality now.

Gorgeous slingshot physics. Wish the debris field varied more between runs — it memorizes fast.
