per·i·he·li·on
noun
"the point in the orbit of a planet, asteroid, or comet at which it is closest to the sun."
Thrust: Spacebar, W, Up Arrow

great concept. Somewhat of a trajectory might help a littlebit with feeling i have some more control. Quite hard, but i really enjoyed it!
That's a great bit of feedback and it has been added to the roadmap, thank you so much!
Very creative concept! Really cool
Thanks for playing!
cool concept! maybe a bit unforgiving but that may just be intentional.
Thanks! Going to work on a gentler player onboarding curve
I got to score 73, this is actually easier then it looks. Well done.
Awesome! Thanks for playing!
greate game its hard to keep things balanced but thats the charm of it!
Thanks so much!
It's harder than it look haha. I can easily spend a long time playing this.
I appreciate the feedback! That's exactly the feeling I was going for.
The precarious balance needed to keep that spaceship exactly where it needs to be, damn. I kept getting too greedy trying to get the little triangles.
Good game!
I find the worst thing is when a little triangle spawns just next to my satellite and I have to fight the urge to try to overcorrect and go after it!
Thanks for playing!
I got to score 49. I was just confused by the controls.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback! Definitely adding in better control explanation and onboarding in the future.
