"The developer has not uploaded a game yet..." are we overloading the server?

Developer here. I've tried to fix some bugs, but the update system on itch.io seems broken and wont let me update the game. I've setup a mirror here : http://corpsmoderne.net/fsp/

yay spacebar

I was for awhile after he said it was fixed but it works for me. Try opening it in an incognito tab in case of a caching issue. Otherwise, just use the mirror.

Looks cool, but I'm traveling and on mobile. Maybe add touch events so us mobile users can enjoy too?

This version should work on mobile: http://corpsmoderne.net/fsp/

I set up some really crazy orbits :-D

One of those birds is in a circular orbit one bird-height above the ground!

Another is in a very eccentric orbit that skims the ground when it comes to the bottom-right of the screen, then almost grazes the asteroids in the top-left.

The one thing I don't like is that this game's physics don't seem to behave properly. In real life (and in Kerbal Space Program) you burn at apogee to increase the height of your perigee, or burn at perigee to increase the height of your apogee. But that rule doesn't seem to apply to Flappy Space Program, making this game anti-educational. :-(
