This is great. The music is amazing, with a cool the FEZ feel. The atmosphere is really nice with the sound effects and music.
The shadows also really help with the mood.

Possibly one of my favorites that I've played from this LD. A ton of fun hopping between planets. It's really challenging in some places, but not so much that it's impossible. I've gone back and replayed this several times since first finding it.
Damn, such a cool game. This is my second LD and all I thought about so far was "gotta do mechanics!". I'll try to my best to actually have FUN TO PLAY as my goal for the next one. Congratulations on your entry! Loved it ^^
Simple game, but nice to play! The game is well designed by starting with simple planet hopping, then introducing spikes, then rotating planets and stars... and then I died. Thanks for adding safe points I used them a lot :-)
I had a really hard time getting the character to go the direction I wanted sometimes after landing on a planet. Which didn't matter too much until the plant was spinning and going the wrong way meant walking into a spike. It just seemed like the direction wanted to go never matched what i expected the button to do. Visually it looks good. The sound effects and music all fit nicely.
Really enjoyed this one. Just enough tricky to play, great atmosphere and audio. I get so relieved when I reach a checkpoint! Best compo yet!
Wow, I'm blown away by this. It took a simple concept and made a really fun game out of it. I loved the music, and the graphics were simple, yet charming. However... here's what I didn't like...
...
Now that we've gotten all of THAT over with, I'd just like to say that I loved this game! Great job!
Great, great, great stuff all around. The checkpoints were a perfect distance apart to be a challenge without getting _too_ frustrating. Very nice work.
This is really great! It's simple and not particularly innovative, but it's also very cute and one of the most well-executed entries I've played so far. The music and the little faces on the planets were really nice touches too!
Minor criticism: the "down to interact" seems unnecessary; the only thing it's used for is the intro + outro, so it might as well just re-use the jump key or trigger on movement instead.
Walking on circles made the controls a little disorienting, but otherwise nice. The music and art and gameplay mechanics are all great. Reminds me of Gravitee. But with less golf and more spikes.
This is very nice, although I feel like I failed more times getting from the 2nd-to-last checkpoint to the last one, than in the entire rest of the game. I really liked the Kirby-esque faces on some of the planets.
The whole thing was just, well put together and cute.
I really enjoyed this entry. The art was fantastic and the music fit perfectly. The puzzles were entertaining, and the difficulty curve was rock solid. My only complaint is that it's pretty hard to tell which direction you're going to go. I get that this is important for some puzzles, but it'd be less frustrating if it were easier to see which way the character is facing. Also, the story was also really good. Very minimal, but it works. Great job on this entry.
And hey, I actually did a pretty similar game! If you're interested in seeing another take on the planet-jumping mechanic, check out my entry, [rovR](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/rovr).
It's nothing particularly new, but it does what it does extremely well - kudos for that! The art, polish and audio were spot on, and the difficulty never felt unfair per se. Very impressive.
nice and simple! very fun for me! you managed for polishing gameplay, graphics and sound! that was amazing! i literally had nothing to add! Is simple but perfectly executed
Overall 5 stars! So much fun! Really great experience. Everything is solid enough. I did back to the home planet after reached the first checkpoint~ Nice Easter Egg :joy:
Really nice and cute! It reminded me of a lot of games I really like! I think VVVVVV was mentioned? The music was great and the game, while short, was just oozing with personality!
Super great job!
So simple yet so much fun! I love the idea of this "gravity jumping" arcade type of game. It was fairly challenging, but beatable if you stay focused, that's how I imagine LD game should look like. I very much enjoyed it, and I hope you will be at least in first 25 in FUN category :).
I really love this game. It maybe was a bit too short ;)
Fun and nice to look at and I wish there would be more levels :)
Amazeballs! I could see this turning into a great puzzle platformer. The controls felt spot on... All around solid game for the compo.
@ponywolf sent me here. And I'm glad he did! Thanks for the sharing your very fun game :D
haha awesome game with a lovely end!! Jumping from planet to planet feels very good and realistic! Also very great pixel art and an awesome background music! Had a lot of fun playing it!
Really fun planetary platform game! I really like how it's more than just jumping from one planet to another, but the planets can have their own movement patterns that you need to work with in order to progress and not hit the spikes. Also liked the cute little ending at the end.
Cute and fun! Checkpoints are very considerate. Nice work!
Nice!
Neat concept... I really appreciated the save points because the game was difficult.
