The aliens are taking the planets. All of them. One by one, counting down to zero. 

Made in GameMaker Studio 2 for GMTK Game Jam 2026 — Theme: Count Down.

The galaxy doesn't play fair — so neither should you.

Galaxy Shot is a physics-powered slingshot arcade game where every planet is a weapon and every orbit is a trick shot waiting to happen. Launch your shot, snap onto a planet's gravity well, and swing for momentum before you release — chain planet to planet, thread the needle between black holes, and ride wormhole pairs clear across the system.

Line it up wrong and you'll watch your shot get swallowed by a black hole. Line it up right and you'll send it screaming across the galaxy to blast an alien UFO straight out of the sky.

Simple to pick up. Brutal to master. One clean shot is all it takes — if you've got the nerve to take it.
