Beyond Ping

A top-down delayed space exploration game

HUD

Distance, connection (good, bad) direction of goal radar with objects input queue

Mechanics

map

• color coding of connection quality
• show taken path ("chem trail") Start from the commander space station/planet steering:
• either apply thrust with analog stick
• direction with analog stick + thrust with trigger
• how to slow/fast? hold to increase force is bad imo because you cant steer during charge time gravity of obstacles obstacles:
• static planets
• moving asteroids / debris death on single collision objective:
• navigate to goal (collect, save astronaut)

Starting Issue:

100 -> 0% connectivity 100% .. 0ms 0% .. 2000ms

Nice to have:

gas or O2 decreases and has to be refilled at commander lighting with sun(s) and headlights
