Gravity Well

Summary:

Captain Morris and crew are returning from a routine asteroid mining job when they suddenly find themselves too close to a small blackhole.  After diverting all available power to the engines their ship can just barely keep itself from being pulled into the event horizon where certain doom awaits.  

Destroy asteroids and other unlucky ships stuck in the blackhole's gravitational pull to find valuable fuel and engine parts.  You'll need everything you can find to escape your impending death.

This game was made as part of the 96-hr Macro Jam #2.   I hope you enjoy.   If you do like what you see, check out some of my other games at https://zerohandles.itch.io/

Controls:

Note:  The blackhole is always pulling you closer to the center.  Anything you do other than fly at full power straight forward will draw power away from your main engines and slow you down.  Slow down too much and you'll find yourself unable to escape the blackhole.
