Grind the Universe and build megastructures!

A small physics-ish sim based on orbital mechanics. The goal of each level is to build structures using materials of surrounding objects.

== Known Bugs ==

Trajectory may not be visible on high zoom levels. Just zoom in 

When close to the planets, trajectories are janky and unstable, the best way to deal with it is by choosing faster trajectories (going away from the planet)


== Controls ==

Click on one of the orbiting bodies, then use cursor to select trajectory (currently short trajectories are glitchy, so it's better to move cursor further from the planet). Click again to launch a chunk on the selected trajectory or click again on the planet to deselect.



When the chunk hits the target, it progresses construction of the structure.

Build all the targets to finish level, only one is shown at the time.

Scrollwheel and screen edges to control camera.

Esc to pause to restart/go to menu.


== Game Jam notes ===
This is my first game jam, especially as a solo dev, so massively mismanaged time - spent too much on fiddling with physics (only somewhat successfully) and didn't get enough for polish (including balancing the "fun" part of gameplay, so it should be forgiving instead). At least, I got some experience with only small sleep sacrifices. Will probably rework it at some point in the future.
