Loved the game! Beat it all finally after a while of getting busy and doing other stuff. One question, is the ending supposed to just be a black screen? Thanks.
Hi! Thanks for playing. Yes, I had hit the exact limit of tokens for this game and just couldn't add anything else. It's an ending which leaves what happens next up to your imagination, I suppose.
Hi! Thanks for playing. I had intended to make an orbital mechanics tutorial cart, but ended up scrapping the idea. I suggest you do some trial and error. Try only accelerating perpendicular to the star. If you accelerate forward, the opposite side of your orbit will expand, and vice-versa. Being closer to the star means moving faster, so if you want to catch up to a planet, reduce your orbital distance by slowing down. It's unintuitive to slow down in order to eventually speed up, but that's how it works. Good luck!

Cool game! I often run out of energy. Is the current energy/fuel level anywhere to be seen? Edit: Wait, its Joystick down, wow I played a while before realizing that.
Thank you for playing and commenting! In the early game, you have to be pretty conscious of energy use, especially when you start travelling between star systems. After you find a few artifacts and/or get better at orbital mechanics, this becomes less of an issue. (Hint: let your momentum carry you and be patient)
I might be bad at it but this game is some serious fun. I am still a bit confused as to what to do with an artifact because on the start chart it doesn't say much after I touch one. Is there a special interaction with it?
Edit: Nevermind I think I got it. You have to land next to it.
Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it. Yeah, orbital mechanics can be a little counter-intuitive at first, but with some practice it can be really fun. Some of the later artifacts might have some upgrades for your ship ;)

I am very bad at orbital maneuvers. Is there any way to learn this?

Amazing game & interesting story! I'm hoping it's intentional but it's just a black screen while the music continues after SIGNAL LOST

how do you start? i am at the screen shat says new ore continue. how do i need to start?
press x
The only buttons besides arrows are z/x. It might not work in Safari. Have you tried downloading it or playing on a different browser?
thx, it works now!
