Slingshot.
Slingshot is a one-tap arcade game for iPhone and iPad, made by C94. You orbit a planet. You tap to let go. If you got it right, you land on the next one. If not, space.
How you play.
Orbit
You spin around a planet. The next one is sitting somewhere out there. Watch the angle.
Tap
Let go at the right moment and you fly. Let go a little late and you sail past it forever.
Land
Stick the landing, start again. Miss, start over. There is no in-between.
The rest of it.
Things we put in, mostly because we wanted them.
One button
That is the whole control scheme. We tried adding a second one. We took it back out.
Hand-tuned systems
Every star system has its own gravity and its own bad ideas. The slingshot never feels the same twice.
Daily run
Same seeded run for everyone, every day. Compare scores with friends, lose to strangers.
