No account required! Your goal is to get your orbit into the green zone as quickly as possible using as little fuel as possible. For anyone who’s played games like Kerbal Space Program, you should know exactly the vibe.

If you have any suggestions or feature requests, please let me know. I hope to add PvP real time racing soon with rounds, more chaotic maps that have moving gravity wells, and more! (maybe even combat?) Currently there is a leader board for best score.

It uses Rust Bevy 0.19 and is compiled to WASM in the browser, purely server side authority, impossible to cheat or manipulate the server state from the client side. A full client-server architecture and client prediction system.

Thanks for playing!

    If you are adding more tracks where the goal is a moving body you should probably add so you can choose to view the trajectory relative to that body.

      It’s working now, you can click the orbital body you want to view your orbit relative to.

      Thanks for playing, I’ll be working on that today so you can choose which body is focused in terms of relative orbit. Pretty weird seeing the orbit around the planet while orbiting the moon.

      The Expanse is awesome, I still remember that scene. Thanks, if you have any issues or suggestions please let me know.

    Will have to check it out after dinner! Looks cool (but doesn’t support mobile right)?

      Thank you, please let me know if you have any suggestions. It doesn’t support mobile yet, but that’ll be something to consider once the fundamentals are more set in place.

    Super fun! My only complaint is that it’s a little slow. Nice to have the time for tricky maneuvers, but I found myself getting a little impatient waiting for the slower parts of the trajectory.
