There's a lot to like in this game. I'm not sure how well it fits the theme, but I really enjoyed the music. The graphics were very minimal and stylish. It would be good to maybe let the player practise the mechanics on the title screen or something as it took me a while to get the hang of it but once it clicked the gameplay was really fun. :)
I liked the mood of the game, and the music with the vocals was really cool. The minimal graphics were well done also. I had some problems trying to control the character and it was a little frustrating. But overall cool game!
Wow, this just feels so good. The music is lovely and a really good atmosphere! It was a little tricky but i found myself picking it up without realising! toward the end i had mastered the controls but wasn't really sure how, but that was a great gameplay feeling! I also love the ending looping back to the menu, so smooth and a great touch ;)
This is incredible! You've captured such a good atmosphere, and this is such a pleasure to play.
Also - can I give so many kudos to @heycapp, this audio is :thumbsup:
Thanks, @doctormozart! It was so much fun to do a "study in voice" for this game.
Oh man this was wonderful! very chill enjoyable experience
The creativeness of the music in this game is fantastic! I love how the choir grows as the sun those. Also using voices for sound effects too really works to keep the audio consistent and it was probably really practical too.
Very visually and aurally appealing. I think some brief instructions on "how to restart the universe" would be beneficial. I spent a bit of time to trying to figure out what my goal was. Overall a great entry!
Loved the music, loved the tiny astronauts, loved the unpredictability of my movements, and adored multiplayer. Excellent idea, beatifully executed. Cant say more. Cheers
I really enjoyed this! The background music is great :D Graphics are minimalistic but I think it fits the atmosphere well and they are pretty polished. Controls felt good.
I noticed that sometimes the spheres you have to collect spawned directly on top of asteroids which made it near impossible to collect them. But that was not a major issue; great entry!
Really incredible mood, music & sounds. It's a really nice game. The graphics are really cool too. It's a work of art ! Congrats ! One of my favorite entries so far.
This is gorgeous. I only wish it was longer. My favourite game of the jam so far. Thanks for making this, it made my day a little better.
Ok, with that incredible developing audio and super polished minimalistic graphics you established mood perfectly, and your just showing off! Fantastic original idea that was executed perfectly. Easily one of the best games I have seen so far! I don't know what you could have done to make this better except maybe make it longer. A mobile/pc app of this game with a few more levels could be a big hit.
This is somewhat so wholesome! When I loaded the page I just stayed there listening to the tune, so chilling and happy <3 This game is so beautiful both visually and musically =) I was totally impressed, the mood was so nailed. I want to share this to my friends so they can feel these vibes too (I played solo anyway).
My only complaint is about the movement. I needed a bit to understand it (gravity was pulling me down, direction is about clockwise or anti), it's ok for me to discover the mechanics but I think that the movement itself could be also improved, and the combination of the two things (hard to understand and control) make it a little bit too difficult for the mood it sets you into.
Maybe just have you bounce when you hit a rock or the planet instead of die could have helped.
I've tried (alone so sad) how it is with 2 players mode and it could be funnier since it is that kind of game where you struggle and with friends the struggle becomes something to laugh at, but alone it is a bit too frustrating at times.
Wonderful visual, very beautiful music on background, i mean it was hard work for you, overall good, good luck!
Just started the game and went here to give you five stars for the audio instantly, that music made my day!
The gameplay took me a while - I somehow get that I'm supposed to be collecting those bubbles, but I didn't know what to do with them (I didn't read the description), so I first tried to put one over the other, which didn't work, so I took it to the ship, which did work and I was very happy about myself being so clever :)
It took me a while to understand the gravity of the situation, but then controlling the astronaut felt pretty good and satisfying, in a souls-like manner all the damage taken was totally accountable to me :) I experienced a weird glitch, when my astronaut just disappeared on the left side of the screen, in still visible area where there was nothing apparent to collide with, so I assume that was a bug? Or an invisible black hole, as both space and black holes are black, so it cannot be seen? :)
Also I somewhat assumed it's gonna be endless but then my spaceship just flew to the right and left and I was brought to the main menu again, so I suppose I won? Didn't see any lives count, so I must have won, yeah? :)
And once again, THAT MUSIC MAN! You're awsome!
Audio is amazing. Love the color palette. Controls felt great. Simple and well executed. Bravo
Very solid entry ! the music was amazing, and completed with really beautiful visuals and colors.
Thanks, all!
This is one the best game I've seen so far. The music, the art, the goal of the game, god, your game has a mf soul. That's fantastic. I am not sure if the link to the theme is enough but honestly? I don't even care, the game is too cool to suffer from that. Well done.
Such a cool game. I really liked the audio and the graphics, sets a pretty good mood. The merge from ending the game and back to the main menu was pretty neat too. Enjoyed it a lot
The visuals, music and atmosphere is really good in this game. The gameplay is overall simple and pretty fun. Overall is this a pretty good jam game. Well done.
This game was fun to play, big up to the music ! Other sounds needs to be higher. mechanics are cool and fit to theme but some collectibles are stuck in obstacle impossible to take. A very polish game, with a great work in technics, graphics and music, well done !
The feeling of controlling the space person was really nice, I had fun just moving around the level. The only part I had trouble with was the space person would go off screen and I couldn't see what was happening, maybe if the camera is focused on the sun, space person, and ship. Would also be cool if there were other gravity objects to loop around. Haven't tried multiplayer yet, but I wonder if there is one where a second player controls the ship, could be a fun addition. Also, the audio was a nice touch for the art direction.
A great atmposhere created here and really relaxing as well with the polished graphics and audio making it really soothing. The orbit is a nice subtle link to the theme.The dynamic colour was a nice touch too and not having defined levels but just increasing difficulty made it nice and fluid too. I wasn't expecting the extra obstacles so that was nice since I fully expected to get bored of just slowly going round the planet collecting things. On that note, I did find it was a bit slow not being able to accelerate forward and mainy just upward but maybe I just wasn't very good at controlling him! Overall, really nice game that I would happily play to pass the time on the train :)
Wow this was super cool! The visuals were really nice and I loved your use of color as the game went on. The audio was really great, I loved the music all the way through and it fit the vibe of the game super well. The mood was super well constructed, I really enjoyed how the visuals and the audio played together. The gameplay had a really nice learning curve, and I really loved all of it!! Well done guys!!
