A rogue planet has been spotted at the edges of our solar system, and it appears to have an alien civilization! However, the aliens are not friendly and soon begin attacking. The Voyager 3 program was started to fight back and destroy the alien probes throughout the solar system. It is up to you to control the satellites throughout the solar system and give humanity a fighting chance.

This is our entry into the 2025 GMTK Game Jam where the theme was "Loop". In Kessler Syndrome you control a satellite that orbits around a planet and you must destroy the alien probes/satellites orbiting the planet. 

If you think about it, an orbit is just a very big loop in space.

Controls

  • W/S - move up and down in your orbit
  • A/D - change direction to left/right (A = counterclockwise/left, D = clockwise/right)
  • Left Click - shoot

Use your mouse to rotate the satellite and aim. You can also use the arrow keys for movement if you prefer.
