Minimalist space sim for Playdate, pay-what-you-want on itch.io ending tonight

After an engine failure leaves your spacecraft with no propulsion and no means to alter your course, all there is left to do is observe your surroundings as you drift farther into the depths of space. Nothing awaits.

Close Approach is a first-person tracking game for Playdate. Across nine uniquely challenging stages, scan objects in your vicinity by following their movements using a combination of steady crank turns and precise roll adjustments. Use the instrument panel to help orient your view, locate targets, and align your reticle with your target’s path. Mastering the controls and learning to use the instruments to track your targets is essential for success.
