Really nice platformer, gameplay feels polished!
A really great entry! Definitely a solid platformer... Which means I _sucked_ at it. 🤣 So bad in fact, that I seem to have broken it... But anyway, the art, music, and sfx are all very solid as well. Nicely done! :tada:

Impressive job! The difficulty is just right, far from frustrating but not easy enough just to get you engaed.
Also very cute pixel art and music! And Cacodemon!
Final note: as an italian, I too cannot wait for our complete dominion over Earth.
game looks really nice has a lot of potential! audio sounds great!
Cool game, the animation at the start is a huge plus for me, makes it more engaging. Also big thank you for adding some easier options for players who are struglling, we should think about that more often! The control scheme felt a bit odd to be, but overall very good entry!
Great introduction at the start, I didn't really like the controls even though the space theme makes the "floatiness" relevant. I was a bit confused by the fact that can jump in the air but not switch gravity in the air. Overall it felt like a pretty standard platformer to me, but the original idea is fun and I can't congratulate you enough for including accessibility options (even if they are a bit hidden), very nice!
Very polished, love the art and audio. Solid platformer, I do wish there were checkpoints so I wouldn't have to go so far back but great game overall. Reminded me a lot of MegaMan!
Good job, really liked art style and gameplay mechanics
Nice game. Graphics and sound are really well done. The controls worked but were hard to remember the buttons. Probably would have been easier if I used a controller. Great job, I am impressed you did this your self. I had fun thanks.
Nice entry with a solid amount of content and polish!
I didn't really feel like I was delivering anything, more just felt like a NES platformer but it was pretty fun! I liked the number of different enemies and the different environments (indoor and outdoor). The art was functional and the audio was actually quite well done. The story at the start was also pretty funny.
The switching gravity is a cool idea but most of the time it felt pointless since I could go so high and far with double jump anyways. I would have just kept it to a single jump.
It never felt like there was a reason to attack enemies because they had way too much health. Was easier to just run past them.
Overall, great submission!
It's cool that you managed to do it alone (as I understand it). Good graphics and I really liked the sound. The text is a little hard to read in the cutscene, but it suits the pixel style well. About the game .. I even got a little stuck and started to get mad that I can’t go far in the level, but it’s cool, because games should evoke emotions)
I really liked the graphics of this game. The story was very cute and hilarious aswell, I liked the little cutscenes, and the style overall is pleasant and old school.
Unfortunately I really dislike the keyboard controls for this game. I don't have a controller, so I was forced to use my keyboard. Not only were the kebinds placed completely illogically, they were also difficult to use. They were far too close together, and I say that as a person with abnormally small hands.
Edit: I forgot to mention, I love the audio of this game so much. Lovely music, lovely sounds!
The art style and music of this game are fantastic! Although sometimes the font is a bit hard to read, it didn't affect my overall game experience. The controls were a bit difficult to adapt to, but I managed to solve the issue by using a gamepad. Some of the traps below didn't kill me, which left me a bit confused. Overall, this is a very well-made game, and I'm looking forward to seeing future updates!
really cool graphics and sound effects. however, there's nothing stopping you from falling up off the map, which kind of locks the game, especially since you can't restart from a pause menu. game was really polished other than that :)
Neat game with intuitive mechanics. Wish I could invert gravity after jumping though
Everything felt super slick. The graphics were nice and crisp, the controls were solid and the music was really good too. I think like others have said checkpoints would've been great to prevent some of the frustration around having to go back really far. Also really liked the intro and the little graphics for that, nice work!
Nice platformer, I love the graphics and narration at the beginning! However, I feel like the theme is only vaguely implied by the intro cutscene, never to be seen again during gameplay which is a shame. Also, being immobilized in mid-air when you're hit by a bullet can result in very cheap deaths 😕 I also died by going too high in the sky trying to bypass the vending-machine style enemy, don't know if that's normal.
