Copernica (Game Jam Version)
About
In the year 2306 the patrol starship Copernica is in the midst of completing it's mission when its engines fail, leaving it with no way to return to Earth. It's up to you to harness the powers of the cosmos and manipulate gravity to save the crew.
Copernica is a short puzzle game submitted to the 2023 GMTK Game Jam with the theme of "Role Reversal." In this game, rather than using the power of the ship to control its journey, you must change the gravitational forces of the surrounding planets to guide it home. Before each level starts, you may change the masses of each planet except for your goal from 1 to 6, but no two planets may have the same mass.
Note that there are a few bugs in the HTML version that don't appear in the Windows version, as the game was made for Windows
