Nice game with a good idea, Great job
I just finished the game, quite fun and very original. It was hard to control the character at first but after a few minutes you get the hang of it. I want more levels :D
Cool artworks... cool soundscape, nice physics... never passed the secound level... I'm a noob... really cool gravity physics...
Super solid game, takes a little while to get the hang of those controls, but really satisfying once you nail that landing. Extend it a bit and you could sell this on mobile, definitely.
i had an absolute blast playing this game. Well done.
Super hard to get into but really awesome once you get used to the controls, took me ages thou
Happy trails! Nice job. :)
I like the fact that you've come up with a different look for space instead of just making it boring black.
super awesome game! could do with a bit more music, or make the music a bit louder. keep adding to this game. I want to see more! :D
The idea is simple but it works and it's fun! :D
Awesome idea XD really funny, but daaaamn it's hard hahaha, I kept smashing into the sun until I gave up, btw, found this weird bug lol
I landed in a planet in a way that I got stuck bouncing repeated times, made a little video of it xD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8i2aGeGDDo
Once you get a handle of the controls, it's a pretty fun little game, great job :)
I like the simple, clean aesthetic and the controls were pretty tight. I made it to the next universe, and am looking forward to seeing if you make a sequel.
The physics drive me crazy!
Haha such a silly idea :D
Cool physics and story but really hard to understand how it really works.
Art-style and sounds are great! At the beginning controls are not clear enough and sometimes unpredictable, but after a couple levels you get used to it. Happy trails! :)
Lovely game, very creative idea. The physics of it really intrigued me. Nice touch with the trail indicating your trajectory given your current input. I was tempted to see if I could build up enough momentum to slingshot out of one of the earlier levels without the trampoline, but I suspect it's not possible :(
This needs more levels! This is like mega intergalactic pogo trampoline jump. Really fun idea! To bad there aren't enough levels but it's a great work for the compo.
Cute story! I included it in part 17 of my Ludum Dare 30 Compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/02vIiZyi3-c
Oh, I burned myself over 20 times at second level, lol. But other levels were pretty simple.
It was fun, thanks for this entry!
This is like Kerbal Space Program meets pogo sticks. I like the retro '50s graphic design and game play. Took a little pratice to get used to the controls, I thought W and S were to accelerate and slow down respectively but it turned out all the keys were directional.
Great job! Loved the physics. Quite hard but good. Loved art and music, really set the mood.
It was fun to slow the speed down so much that you'd stutter on top of the planets, the spammed pogo sound was just funny to boot :D
I was confused on the first world, but ended up playing till the end. Nice little game.
Amusing :)
Figuring out the controls at first made navigation difficult, but when I had them figured out it became a bit too easy.
Perhaps what threw me off at first was the way the navigation arrow "jittered"; made it seem like my input wasn't working when it actually was.
I like the music, but not the theme. Mechanics are too frustrating.
On the very first world, it was unclear (or rather, seemingly ineffective) that I could push the player away from the planet, and I got stuck in an ear-murdering tiny-jump position where the only way out was to restart.
