Nice start! I think it's an interesting and fitting control method for a game like this, and the propeller as panic button is a good touch.

I found the motion of Sally to the right to be sort of slow (though I am not sure if it was my computer), I'd like to see some sort of way to speed this up, whether it's a difficulty toggle or maybe a risk/reward thing where you can click behind her to speed her up at the expense of something. Keep it up!

Not sure what to say about the game from the screenshot :D Wish it was available on Mac for me to try ;) Good luck either way ;)

@sayumeki thank you so much! Noted, I'm planning to fork it and adding some elements that were originally planned (there was supposed to be physics-related obstacles (to throw you off course) and a story so will definitely look into speeding up as an added difficulty (or maybe speed up some items).

@martintale I'd like to make a WebGL build, will post it!

Very nice game. Simple but very enjoyable, make us fell q bit like in the Gravity movie.

Well done !

Recompiled for Linux from your source code :penguin:

Reminder to self read the control instructions carefully!

Very atmospheric game! Would be nice if the floating parts were similar to Sallys art style.

It's a really interesting idea with a lot of potential. I enjoyed it up to a point, but I feel there should have been more propeller collectables available given the wideness of the space to move in. It was also a little buggy; sometimes the distance indicators would stay on screen with the same number showing. They were very useful when they worked though! A really good game, I enjoyed it a lot. I hope you finish it :)

Thanks so much for the kind words!

@voidsay that's great! I'll try and do that for the next jam game!
