Free Return Trajectory is a 2D relaxed playground about space exploration. The levels are just small tasks to challenge the player in 'flying manual'.

The player controls the movement with the thrusters and the main engine. Fuel is always limited and sometimes, malfunctions and hazards have a predominant role in the action. (not yet fully implemented)

If you are a Nasa pilot, maybe this game is too easy for you, but generally it's a game that requires some 'finesse' in the input!

Why is level 4 so hard.  I don't understand because I am reaching a higher orbit but I think the program is looking for something super specific.  How do I do it?

Sorry about the difficulty... I need to adjust that!  Just keep in the higher orbit for 3 full turns... and don't click on restart at the end... I really need to continue this game! A way of solving it is: When at the left side, go forward a tiny bit and stabilize the rotation. Once stable, at the right side go forward again the same amount. Stabilize and repeat until you are in the dashed line! Also, go full screen to see the entire UI! Thank you for the feedback!

Oh so I have to not be rotating like crazy!!!

are you planning a desktop version?

HI! Yes. This was just a proof of concept and a web build makes more sense to do that because anyone can play immediately. I'm working on a PC/Mac version!

Cool!
