This game looks and sounds amazing! Very polished menus and look overall. It's very difficult to control, and the ramp-up in gravity vs distance to the gravitating body makes it hard to predict what will happen, but it was still fun to play and I kept on trying, failure after failure. I also love all the flavor text.
I've also made a gravity-sim game for Pico8. Let me know what you think of it if you get a chance!
Hey, thank you for making a game out of the cart! I love how you ran with the aesthetics, right down to the design of this page.
The game's a real challenge, I think my best streak was 2! It makes the title pretty amusing, this method of spacefaring seems rarely practical. The refueling/overheating mechanic is very satisfying. Planning ahead is only roughly possible for me, in particular because of the influence of the moving planets. But as hard as the game is, I imagine a very skilled player could win most of the time. If you did want to make it more accessible without significant changes, maybe a larger fuel tank with a lower limit as the player gets a longer streak could ease people into the game.

Love it! Great work. Very challenging and fun. Message me if you want to do a 4k, hi-res version!

Anyway, I had a lot of fun with it, well done!
