Anybody know of games similar to Dito Seregin's 'Escape Pod'?
The game is here. . Tremendous fun and despite it's lack of depth, I've had fun trying to beat my records but ultimately, it gets tired fast given there's only one "level" so to speak albeit a randomly generated one.
I really like the mechanics of this one and managing them against fuel load. It's similar to a game called Space Rescue by Ostrich Studio which I also liked but both these games seem to be kind of little prototypes so there's very little to them.
They both seem somewhat similar to the old Lunar Lander game. That might help you find more clones?
Hi, I'm Dito, I made the game!
Check out ΔV: Rings of Saturn! It's a slower-paced simulation game, and it goes all the way to explore the idea of 2D spaceships with Newtonian physics in an asteroid field (or rather a ring system).
I also recommend Heat Signature, it's one of my favorite games! It's only partially about flying spaceships, but I was directly inspired by the pod controls in it.
Edit: I'll also add Flywrench to this, it's a tough and satisfying action game about maneuvering through multi-colored obstacles that you can phase through by switching your ship's polarity in time.
