Guess who completely underestimated how much math he'd need to brush on to make this work and completely ran out of jam time! Please enjoy placeholder graphics!
In lieu of the tutorial I'd planned, please find some helpful hints below:
- You can gain a lot more momentum by recalling an orb while you are still moving toward it, give it a try!
- There is one platform in the game with no collision (I know, my bad! I caught it too late to fix...) Don't worry, this won't stop you completing the game, almost every platform in this game is optional.
- Orb aiming is toggled using shift, you can't fire orbs without aiming! Aiming has no gameplay effect, the toggle is purely for visual preference.
- Don't like the music? You can turn it down or mute it entirely from the pause menu.
- The loading screen is only necessary for the web version. On slower hardware this could take a while. All materials are being rendered prior to game start to avoid any freezes while you play.
- The ship at the end is just a big white capsule with a red tractor beam, it was meant to be a placeholder. You complete the game when you reach the tractor beam, this is a little unclear because of the graphics unfortunately :(
- The leaderboard is not online, if you want to share your time then leave a comment! My best is 4 minutes 3 seconds :)

I’m terrible at this game, but at least I made it. \o/ Great game!
This gets a special mention for completing a max_throw_length only playthrough!
