Hard and physically accurate platformer, in which you pilot the lunar module.Why it's "beta" and "demo":The game logic is playable with almost all the gameplay, but improvements will still be made.It's a "demo" because I made few levels, and I wanted to have ideas and suggestions before to implement additional gameplay features.This is my first game, targeting Desktop, made with my own engine in C++.

Nice concept, nice game !

On the first levels, maybe you can draw a preview of the orbit.
I didn't find the way to exit a level without having to complete the current level, if I want to replay another level or to skip one.

Is it possible to prevent orange-boxes to spawn when the "dot" is on its position ? or perhaps have a warning before so the player can react ;)

Also, can you add a sound-volume slider in the settings ?

Oh, ok, I never paused a game before !

Fair enough - the cyclic behavior is ok, but I loose the exact bounds of these boxes when they are invisible. It's still ok with the current mechanics - just a bit harder ;)

Physics

I thought there is some "space" physics, but
* the probe is more acting like a car or a shopping cart (I mean it's like the probe is on wheel)
* the asteriods are moving like flies

Except the "space" thing, the gameplay is correct.

I'm looking forward to have those games then !

Well, this are plenty of games like this, but to control a cube can be fun actually.
The minimal art is nice and I like when the cube impacts an obstacle.

But, the controls are too sensitive and the behavior when the cube jumps is chaotic (maybe it's a feature, I don't know)
That's a good 'proof-of-concept' for a first game ...

I liked the art too. Good start point but only 1 level for now.

Sometime the character fails to jump when he is sticked to a vertical wall.

Cats can do everything !!!
I liked the ambiance, this lovely cat in this dark and freaking world. The pixel art is very nice.

There were 2 things that prevent me to play beyond the 4th level:
* the respawn system works well one the 1rs and 2nd death, but after many tries, the cat spawns on a previous checkpoint and I loose some advance in the level. Annoying.
* Jumps between 2 vertical walls are not intuitive and I've failed to jump so many times while being sticked to a wall. I intuitively hold the "up" arrow while hitting the left or right key to make a jump. (Maybe you can take example on Assassin's creed climbing controls)

Promising game !! Good proof of concept, and well done with the IA.
Maybe you can start make other levels, or add a menu at least.
It could be interesting that the IA will search in a zone instead of a point.

Thanks! At least the game works.

Pretty fun game ! It enjoyed it.

I had the same bug about falling forever (you should use a "continuous" collision detection, so when the velocity has high value, it'll keep working)

Also, maybe you can add a feature to spped-up the time when the player has nothing to do left and the launch is during a lot of time. I don't know if this can break the feeling of the game thought.

However, the progression is good ; except the rockets are a bit unbalanced compared to the rest of the tools. With few launches with the first rocket, I had enough money and achievements so I unlocked almost all.

Keep working !!
