Wow! what a beautiful environment design! the execution is very polished and the finished result is fun (but also frustrating at times) to play. I wish there were more checkpoints to save my progress, but overall it was a memorable experience!
Pretty game. Clear goal in mind but I fell so many times. The platforms don't carry the character, which is an interesting challenge.
Love the art of the spacey background, especially all the unique planets. The main character has very cute sprites as well. Great work!
Cute game. A bit laggy which cause the controls to be really difficult. music and graphics blend really well and give a sweet vibe overall. :clap:
The topic of instability is well covered. The controls are a little annoying. The background is just gorgeous.
Smooth controls. Sometimes the hitbox of the platforms is not entirily clear but still if you jump with enough margin for error it works well. The meteors are pain though. Sometimes is borderline imposible to dodge. Graphics are nice and the sounddesign itself works very well as well. Overall a very good entry. Keep it up.
Beautiful game with very nice sound design. It's hard, but still fun. Maybe the Asteroid/fire things are a bit too unpredictable/hard at the beginning.
The game looks nice but I had a terrible frame rate.
I did get a bit of lag so might be worth providing a download link maybe? :) But overall the graphics are super awesome. The audio goes very well and the gameplay just works. You've done very good on this :D nice work my friend
Love the art and audio. Something was off with the controls but could be my internet browser (edge). Great entry.
@thunderkerrigan @david-broz @d3kryption hey sorry about the lag, didn't realise! We've just put a windows version up :).
Very nice looking game, really top notch on that front. The sound is good as well, though in the game play it's frustrating that you don't have any indication when lasers are firing as well with meteors which makes it feel a bit unfair!
great art and audio! although i felt like the gameplay became a bit frustrating. maybe i'm just bad, but i couldn't really react to a lot of the hazards, so it just felt like luck. i think with a few tweaks this could be really great for noobs like me.
Very good game! Great art, music, and gameplay :) Enjoyed it very much!
A really cool game! The visuals are so fluid and gorgeous!
Gameplay was pretty cool too, just wish there was some sort of coyote time.
Such a beautifully made game! Love it!
great visuals!
Classic Sleep Studios difficulty. I'm terrible at platforming so I have no idea if there is anything after level three. Art was lovely, the backgrounds are gorgeous and the music (*chefs kiss gesture*). That jazzy number on level 2 was awesome. Controls were tight, enjoyable and the gameplay was (mostly) fair. The roll mechanic is a nice addition which puts a little twist on the platforming (I was hesitant to jump from the edges from too many times where I rolled into the void).
I did have one little bug: I wasn't able to recreate it but I think I might have been hit by something as I was falling? But I ended up at the bottom of the map I think, but I had to restart the game since I couldn't get back to the top. I did continue afterwards but as I said, I'm terrible at platforming.

I also wasn't super keen on the lightning effect, maybe it was meant to blind me but if it wasn't then I think making it a little transparent would be helpful.
Well, this game looks great, and it's pretty fun to play. though I noticed that most moving platforms don't drag you with them - though one in the third level does, so that seems unintended. If it was any longer, I'm sure that I'd be complaining about the meteors ruining a run with me being unable to do anything about it, but I was lucky enough to only get hit by them in relatively safe spots. Still, some kind of indicator for them would go a long way.
Very cool idea but the platformer is a little quirky sometime (the ground become slopery and we can't jump ; the player goes trough the platform, or the moving platform but the player have to move too, little detail like that) But it's counterbalance by the awesome visual ! It's really awesome, with the background and the different level color, it's cool ! (oh, and love the little cutscene at the end)
Cool concept and good 2D art, The gameplay is great too。
It's a cool idea and the jump feels really good! I really like the "damage" concept you got. Tumbling around rather than instant game over is a great idea and I feel like it has a lot potential and could be explored further.
But I must admit, the wind feels a bit weird. I was running towards a platform with wind active, but then it instantly stopped and I couldn't adjust for the change of movementspeed and ran right off the cliff haha :D
Nice game! Very good feel, atmosphere, art and music. Overall it looks very polished. At times I did feel the meteor falling was a bit unfair. I would not mind if they attempt to directly hit me, but I feel that it falls so fast that it is almost impossible to avoid. Perhaps maybe make the fall speed a little slower? Also, there is this one platform in the first level that you can drop to, but if you drop to it, you can't go back up. You have to die to restart the level. Otherwise, I think the overall movement is very clean and crisp! Overall, a very nice game!
The music is relaxing, and the character controls really well.
I had trouble jumping on some of the platforms. For example: one of the platforms required me to jump on the left side only even though the visuals made it look like I should have been able to jump on the right side as well.
I'm obsessed with the graphics! So cool game! I find some problems maybe with colliders cause I just stuck between platforms..

But I really like this game :3
fun game! i little to unstable lol, good work!
I really like this world! I included it in my Ludum Dare 49 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/bBL_dduqErg
Really nice entry~ I just had some trouble figuring where the hitbox of some platform started and endend but it was really fun anyway ^^ (Except that one time when an asteroid killed me so close to the teleporter ><) Good job ;)
I love the artwork and the vibe of the otherworldly planet! I also like the sound effects, they fit the theme. You can also really see the unstable theme. One thing: I thought I can jump on the mouse things. Maybe you could make it spikier to tell the player it's unjumpable :)
