Gravitate - Don't fight gravity, harness it.


Goal: Get your ship to the portal by applying acceleration, taking into account the gravitational pull of the planets in the solar system. Get to the portals before they explode and wipe out the solar system and you along with it!


Controls: 

[Arrow Keys] to apply force in that direction

[Z] to Toggle Music

[X] to re-center your ship if you get lost. This only works once per game.


About: Initially developed for Trijam in under 2 and a half hours using the TIC-80 fantasy computer. Minor graphical improvements, Music, Compass and Re-centering added afterwards for Brackeys Game Jam. No external assets were used. Music is based on public domain piece The Planets - Jupiter by Holst.
