first off: i am incredibly sorry this game doesn't have a preloader, i tried putting one in, but for some reason when the game reset it ignored all stop commands and i couldn't fix it... lol, so just wait for the brower to say it's done before playing.

Natural Satellites, The best physics-based game *cough*that I*cough* ever made! use the mouse to control Earth and don't crash into any moons, meteors or aliens before reaching the end.

How i made this game? basically, i was playing around with the physics engine in AS: Main on the bbs, after getting it down pat i realised i could make multiple followers to the mouse, all at differant speeds. along with static-ish obstacles, i thought this wouls make a pretty god game! and it did! i am pretty proud of this one!

and yes, i do know real moon gravity is inwards and gets stronger the closer you are, but this was made using an elastcity script and more fun in a game.

what it says is true, my name is numenos right now, but it probably wont be in a few days, no matter what name i choose on i always find a reason to hate it a few days later, does anyone else get this? or am i just weird?

in summary, please vote friendly, and please leave some constructive critisizm in reviews, i am always looking to improve my knowledge of script, if you have any ideas on how to improve the game or find any bugs, leave then in reviews or contact me via pm.

thanks for playing NS 1.0!

P.S: i am sorry if i spelt "satallites wrong at any point in the game... i was tired at the times i was making it...

P.P.S: NO TO THE USERNAME LOCKDOWN!! I DESIRE THE FREEDOM TO CHANGE MY NAME!!!

"Ok, but gets too hard."

date: January 25, 2007

Plus, the "physics" script is so so very simple
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
_x+= (_x-_root._xmouse)/5;
_y+= (_y-_root._ymouse)/5;
}

All you need to do is change the 5. Other than the lack of physics, and the borrowed code, its ok.

Author's Response:

i am afraid the physics script is nowhere near a simple as that, try 20-30 lines or so. that code doesn't even have an inertia count

i didn't "borrow" the code, i followed one of the tutorials in the external link of the as: main segment of elasticity, i didn't copy and paste anything, it was a good learning experience. i suppose it could be considered borrowing though, depending on how you look at it.

thanks for your review however!

"Pretty good! But not exactly Astrophysical correct"

date: January 25, 2007

but who cares, right?:P i enjoyed this alot gonna play it again after this review:) If you are looking to improve you could make the background move consedering the earth is traveling to another star, i could even move faster to confuse to the player and make it harder. other that that not much to say really :) good game

Author's Response:

yeah! who cares :P

yeah, im afraid there was no way i could see to reverse the physics to make the moons faster nearer Earth, but even if i did, i don't think the game would be as fun.

i was definately thinking of a moving background, but putting several jpegs of space anomoly would make the size too big, and just one pic of stars wouldn't look too good moving, as you could see that it's just the same picture over and over.
oh, P.S. why did you give violence 5? lol, i don't remember any violent activities...
