Hi there \\(^o^)/,

really cool idea! I ended up flying like crazy and just mashing F though (~_~)\. Is there an ending condition? I stacked a bunch of people and houses, but nothing more happens. Nice going!

Thanks @gideon! There is not an ending condition although eventually you will start stacking city buildings and then go back to adding people.

This is an intersting concept. I think the gameplay is pretty interesting but there isn't much feedback when landing on planets and collecting plants. Also when clicking on a plant in your inventory, if you click on another then the info panel for the previous panel should disappear. Nice job and an impresive amount of work for such a small amount of time.

I like the descriptions of the plants, and i liked that the condition of the earth improved as you played.

I like the relaxing nature of this game. However, I did want more to "do" during the game. Solid mechanics and congratz on the jam :)

interesting concept and cool flying mechanism and physics. But a bit more gameplay would be great, in the end you just fly around in space, press the F button and go back to earth, smash the plant button and fly back in space.

Took me a minute to figure out, but a cool concept once I understood. Nice job!

This is such a cool little game, I really enjoyed just flying arround, the jetpack particles made it much more enjoyable. Well done.

The jatpacksoundloop is a bit annoying

Pretty fun game! The flying feels great. Took me a long while to work out what to do, but once I got it I was great haha.

Nice game, I loved flying around way too much! I liked the sound effects! If there was some music it would be a nice relaxing game, otherwise a win condition would be good to implement. A nice game framework that could be something nice with a little bit more work.

I very much enjoyed this little game, although I found the controls a bit tricky to begin with. I particularly liked the procedural generation of the planets. A suggestion: for space game like this, if you split the starry background into two layers, with the layers moving at different speeds relative to the camera (the top layer faster than the bottom layer), then you can achieve quite a cool, yet simple, parallax effect. ;-)

Also, I experienced a possible bug(?) where my city buildings stopped displaying when I was on Earth, and were only visible when I was in space. I've attached screenshots below to show what I mean:

At first I found the controls a little confusing, but I had a great breakthrough moment when I hauled back 15 plants and saw the Earth turn noticeably greener! The jetpack could get a little hard to control, but the lack of damage from hitting planets made things manageable.

The thematic concept is really innovative and immediately appealing. I'm impressed that you managed to capture that scope within a small game.

Also, this game brings up some existential questions regarding the conversion of plants to humans.

This is really cool! Also, zooming around in a little spaceship was very fun.
