Swing-By(e)
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
29th century.
The earth has become unlivable and the human race must find a new home. Centuries of scientific research have enabled them to develop technologies to travel other systems through wormholes. You are part of the last humans on earth, forced to leave in a hurry and set out on a quest to build a new home, thanks to a wormhole that has formed in the solar system.
Limited by your rush to leave, you find yourselves forced to save resources through the use of gravitational slingshots. You are a space ballistics engineer, and this is YOUR mission: plan the shuttle's initial direction of propulsion and departure date to make the most out of the gravitational pull of the planets you swing by.
Will you be successful?
