VOYAGER

If ever a game was almost equally frustrating and fascinating, it's this one. As a visual feast it is beautiful and mesmerising, as revealed planetary bodies move in their circular or elliptical orbits around a central sun, accompanied by a very complementary soundtrack. But controlling a satellite to find (and thus illuminate) the wandering planetary bodies using only its low power directional booster and the much greater gravity slingshot effects drove me to despair; this was particularly true when I was trying to get the final achievement [spoiler] which only allows each planetary body on each level to be visited once by the satellite, a so-called Perfect mission. [/spoiler] Last year I gave up on the game half-way through when I just couldn't get a confident feel for its mechanics, and only returned to it a day or so ago. Then I nearly gave up on it again, not least because I couldn't find any way to get the (admittedly basic) instructions re-displayed (they only seem to appear the very first time the game is played), and because I was forced to start the game at the first level in spite of previously getting to level VI (individual levels can only be selected from the game menu when every level has been completed at least once). But I've just got the final achievement and a set of beautiful screenshots which were automatically produced by the game, and suddenly both life and Voyager seem a bit kinder and brighter!

It's cheap, it's decently fun, and it looks nice. You can definitely drop more time than I have into the game, especially if you want to perfect it.

good game

A small, relaxing game. Music fits really well and complements the simple style of the game. Sad to see I was the only person playing this today on SteamDB. Game has only had 9 players in the past 8 months, which again is sad to see. It's such a simple and cheap game. I recommend this game, fully. It's inexpensive, and fun.

Hands down best game in the world

Nice chill game

This is a fun, simple, relaxing game! No real action. I'd *sort of* call it a puzzle game, but it's not exactly that. More a minimalistic game where you play with gravity and orbits, essentially "searching" for planets in the dark (which light up after you collide with them). There are no instructions, so it takes a bit to figure out that that's the goal. Pretty quick and easy to 100% (once you realize the goal), but there's still quite a bit of content after the 100% mark. The relaxing beat music isn't my favorite genre by any means, but it somehow lends a nice atmosphere to this game and makes it even more enjoyable. Overall I'd definitely suggest this game if you like space, you like minimalist aesthetics, and if you want a chill time (nothing demanding). Worth a few hours (or more) for sure!
