Wonky Ship is a two-touch arcade game that's all about keeping a spaceship from the gluttonous clutches of a black hole. You also have to avoid space debris. And perform flips.

Even though the concept of flips doesn't really make sense in a zero gravity setting.

You push the left of the screen to fire your left thruster and the right to fire your right. And then you sort of wobble ineffectually around for a while before careening to your light-destroying death.

The thing with this style of game is you need to feel you're getting a hold of the controls within a few minutes, even if you're still flailing around like a loon.

And Wonky Ship doesn't quite manage to foster that connection. I unlocked the second ship by accident, and after smashing into every side of the screen, an asteroid, and the gravity well of a collapsed star, I got a bit bored.
