Partial recreation of Outer Wilds (just the planets) + a grappling hook, an 「FPS <-> Zero G」 control conversion test.
Who doesn't love grappling hooks? This demo lets you fly between planets with them.

Escape Key or Defocus Game: Releases Mouse.

Controls (Mouse & Keyboard):
WASD: Standard XZ Movement
Q: Down Thrust
E: Up Thrust
Mouse XY: Moves camera
Mouse Scroll Wheel: Roll (Zero G only)
Spacebar: Jump (only works when Grounded)
Left Click: Fire Hook (a small ball)
Right Click: Recall Hook (in case you miss)


I've provided this Demo Build as it's exceedingly difficult to provide enough "feel" for these kinds of recreations from just footage. The player must Input to feel.
More technical details in Youtube page.

Previous Build experience against Super Mario Galaxy helped a lot into making this Demo.
