Slingshot Speeders, the first orbital racing game, is now in a true MVP state with the v0.2.0

I’ve been working on this solo for a solid two months now. Finally, I’m happy to announce that it’s now in a minimum viable product beta condition with the v0.2.0 and Season Zero.

Experience real physics while racing. By learning to play you also learn the basics of orbital mechanics, with concepts taught in an introductory physics class. Fly a space ship around gravity bodies in a server authoritative simulation.

If signed in, you earn points (Pax) by completing daily challenges which they can use to buy visual cosmetics and create new map challenges in the MapMake system. There is the Founder’s Pack which grants an exclusive time limited cosmetic pack.

In the video what you are seeing is a true slingshot being performed by a player who understands orbital mechanics to increase their relative speed and direction the most efficient (lowest time/fuel) possible. You can read more on the site if you’re interested in trying it out, thanks for reading!
