The adaptive soundtrack is great, the game is gorgeous, but it lacks something to motivate the player, every planet is the same

Audio is just awesome, graphics look neat, but a tutorial would definitelly ad to it. Moreover, it gets reppetitive really fast, because every planet just looks the same.

I agree with the above sentiments about repetitiveness, but still a great concept, and very pretty to look at! I'd love to see this fleshed out a bit more, and would definitely come back to play it.

Interesting idea, with fine graphics and audio to go with it. As for improvements i feel like the jumping between planets could use some work and maybe also having a clear goal in the game would be nice.

Whoa, nice trippy visuals!

Likes: - acid soundtrack (a bit *very avant-garde*, but still cool!) - super cool trippy graphics - when you jump it really feels like you're getting high up in space - nice choice of colours and light

Try differently: - somehow my own controls on the spheres seem limited, maybe a gimbal lock issue? - I want to get to the big sphere so much, but the game is actually challenging!

Overall: - lovin the neon pastel trippy glow of this. - the galaxy "sphere" looks nice, too!

it's a weird game (but that's good! :smile:) I love how the music changes depending on the situation. I went to a planet full of lights and it was really cool ^^.

it's hard to understand what to do but the art is really good.

Visually pleasing. The audio is nice. This isn't really a game. Made me feel really nauseous (Too much spinning).

Interesting concept, liked the visuals! I thought the black orb would increase in color or light and then something would happen. I did get some cubes though, but you could always speed off a planet instead of jumping so I'm not sure what is was for.

strange, but interesting project. But as a player I want some reason to play. and controls sometime frustrating

Very pretty style and a good soundtrack (that does get a little bit repetitive) I would have liked some sort of an objective because i went around collecting light for some while but in the end i did not know for what

A little psychedelic game. Didn't manage to go on the biggest and brightest globe, wich was the goal I choose after understanding that there is no intended destination. Frustrating. Anyway, don't know what you have taken before making this game, but it was surely strong. :P
