Cool concept. Even without sound it is quite fun to play.
I like it just the way it is; but I'll make a small suggestion for you to consider.  What about starting the rubber line wherever I push LMB, not requiring me to drag it from the launcher every time. I am not sure if this will be better, but it may be worth a try.

Thanks!, I am not sure that would make things better. For phone's I have to think of an alternative for sure but for the pc I think it is fine because I think if you can drag the line from anywhere it makes things harder like your mind figuring out what angle you need to let go for you to reach the wormhole plus at the moment the longer the line is the more velocity you will have. But thanks for the idea!

Nice little game. Going through the levels is mostly just trial and error which is not necessarily a bad thing. As for the music, I think some slower tempo chiptunes might fit the minimalistic style of the game.

Hmm, I have used the wrong word in my previous comment. Sorry about that.

Instead of:
What about starting the rubber line wherever I push LMB, not requiring me to drag it from the launcher every time.

I wanted to say:
 "What about starting the rubber line whenever I push LMB, not requiring me to drag it from the launcher every time."

So, the rubber band will look the same as it does now.

ahhh, yeah that would be cool! thanks!

EDIT: On second thought, it might make the game somewhat easy because you can just keep your cursor at one point, click once. Fail, move the cursor X pixels and click again untill you got it right. uhm :p not sure yet. but thanks for the input.

At the very least you should make the hitbox for the ship bigger, as well as make it a bit more obvious that the goal is to click and drag from that ship. 

Either way, this is pretty cool.

I wish I had windows so that I could try it. You can always install Ubuntu or Elementary OS you only have to have at least 4 GB of hard disc space and then you just compile same code. If you wanna Elementary OS install new beta release called Elementary OS Freya because it already has SFML 2.1 in its repositories. If you are interested in it you can download it from here:http://elementaryos.org/journal/freya-beta-1-available-for-developers-testers
At the bottom are to torent links. You can always just try any Linux distro without installing. Just prepare DVD/ USB. If you want to use USB you have to install:
http://www.linuxliveusb.com
I'm not sure but I think most of us use Linux, because its easier to get libraries from repositories. And by my small experience its developer environment.

Let me know what you guys think!
I still need to make all the levels which are saved in the Assets/Levels folder.

*if you are bored you can help me create the 30 levels, you can alter the txt files with numbers from 0-5 and 'p' for player and 'e' for exit*

I tried it  :)   At first it was a little hard, but once I figured it out the levels that are there are quite easy. It is a good concept and I hope you finish it  :D

The concept is great. Though I find it that sometimes I come close by a pixel or so to the square and it should probably detect that I got to it. But I find the game awesome. It really is a great thing. Keep going!

It's a fun (and old) concept. This makes your game remind me of flash games (a good thing in my eyes).
However:
1. You need a level editor.
2. You need some music and sounds, or at the very least the sounds, maybe http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/faq.html and http://www.drpetter.se/project_sfxr.html could help.

Hey thanks!, it is for my school and it is my first game so sound is not needed at the moment to make this count as my school project but I will add it later when I am a bit better in coding and recode the game already got royality free assets but thanks! :D And I will not focus currently on the level editor as my next game idea is very much like a level editor and the experience that I gain from that I will use to make a level editor for this game in the future :D
