I think ya forgot the game links.
The art is amazing, had fun flying around and meeting all the inhabitants!
@neakiir Thank you for playing!
@mals Thanks for the heads-up, we published before attaching the links.
Loved the disco music!
The whole game is really calming an enjoyable to play. One thing I did notice was that the direction arrow can get dragged off the screen, so if you're close to a delivery location (but it's not yet on screen) you have no indication of which way to go.
Did i just ruin a wedding? This was so much fun! I loved the gameplay and watching the story unfold!
Great game, I loved the cute art style, dialogue and the upbeat music!
The story was so wholesome! I loved the graphics and the music. The space parallax looked so cool.
Gorgeous artwork, I always appreciate soft almost fluffy depictions of space and fun little space fish and creatures.
This is soooo good!! It's so fun and silly and I loved the controls they felt like very smooth as well !! and my gosh the art was so lovely!!
The art is great! The atmosphere is calm and cozy, the music and the assets go very well together! Well done
i think this is the first time i seen a fish in space. interesting game here.
That was an absolutely adorable, delightful, and relaxing game. Everything works *so well* together—the music, art, story, relatable characters... Just really fantastic work all around. I'm always here for fluffy space creatures.
I didn't expect a game with a cute mushroom cat to end up with a homewrecker but here we are.
The nicest art i've seen so far, love the background
I love this game so much!!!!! I think this is my favorite entry I've played so far! The graphics are absolutely beautiful and I love how each planet has a different theme and I love all the characters. Also I loved the twist at the end. And the music is extremely nice as well. Overall an amazing entry!!!
My one criticism is that I didn't realize I had to press Z in order to move at first, so I though the game was broken
This was super fun. I loved the bubbles as the fishy ship traveled and the different music on each planet was really cool.
Cute game. Very polished!
Really liked the vibe. This was a really good take on the theme. The music was really nice too and there was a really good amount of dialog. I even went back to some of the planets to see some of the extra dialog which was a nice touch.
What an adorable game, the art is simply wonderful and I loved learning about each of the different characters you visited!
This is one of my favorites so far---the art was amazing and the whole thing was really charming. Great work.
ok I love this, I am getting a 'lovers in a dangerous spacetime' vibe with some narrative, like 'doki doki universe', lovely characters, lovey text and narrative.
the undocking effect is kinda satisfactory.
the art assets are so good.
this penguin planet is the sweetest

This game is fantastic. Can't believe I didn't see it til now. @diego-teran, who on the team did the graphics and how? I'm loving the brush strokes and the cute characters.
@peachy did the graphics! Its her first time doing a game jam too
mi mimi mi mi mi mimi mi mi, mi mi mi mi mimi 5/5. mi mi mi mimi mimi mimi mi mi mimimi mi mi mi mi mimi?
Wow, great art+music. I played around in the FIN screen for like 5 minutes just to keep listening to the song and stare at the planets.
This was so much fun!! I wanted more, also love the ship. <3
This game is actually so cute!! The audio, dialogue, characters, just everything works together so well!! I especially loved all the unique characters and backgrounds. The music was also really nice. Just good vibes all around. Great submission!!
it was so deep, i quite loved it
This is probably my favourite narrative game of the jam so far. Plus the art and music are extremely top-tier. I like all of the character design, but especially Shane's Jawa-hoodie. Not really saying anything that hasn't already been said by everyone else, of course - everyone can see this game is great!
omg the art is soooo cute!! Gives me a bit of Bee and Puppycat vibes. I love all of the characters! Riley is absolutely adorable! Are there multiple endings? I didn't expect my delivery of Riley's letter to end the game like that, it was very unexpected (still had other deliveries pending). Actually with Riley's dialog I was expecting it to address the theme of friendships drifting apart due to big life changes like someone finding a partner and spending more time with them, or having a kid, so I was a little disappointed with what happened after.
Anyway, super charming game! I thought the dynamic orbiting planets, and moons orbiting other planets was a nice touch. The layered scrolling background for space was cool too c:
Nice idea and cute art. I couldn't play an online version, the X just doesn't work there. On windows it works fine)
Art is very cure. Character and planets are so nice! Great story game!
Very charming game, I like the web of relationships that slowly unfold as you deliver more and more letters
Very nice art, decent dialogue, not much in terms of gameplay but that's fine for what it is. Got the bad ending where the mushroom kitten ended up with the penguin girl. Well, this actually may have been a good ending because the mushroom kitten ended up being a terrible person and her boyfriend certainly deserved someone better. The dialog boxes should ave more indication of who's speaking currently. Just changing the name at the top os really not enough.
A story driven game is nice. I find the art wonderful, so is the music (expecially at the end). But tbh I didn't like the story, and it feels unfinished. But the game, art and music made it all. Great job team!
wow clean art, that looks so good
Amazing game. Art, Music and story is just great. You even managed to make few endings. Brilliant.
This is a lovely game with beautiful art and well done narrative! The game concept is simple but the execution is wonderful and feels very polished.
I love the layered backgrounds while swimming around in space. It does a great job of simulating depth and looks amazing too!
Fantastic job!
I loved this! Thanks for letting me play on stream, here's the VOD! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1jjtp0dcDg
Awesome game, everything is so polished! The dialogue is quite funny, the music is great, and the artwork style is great - especially the parallax background looks really nice! Great game concept also :P
That was really nice, good job! I loved getting to fly around in such a tiny, well illustrated solar system; the game looks really really nice, the little planets, the characters, super well done. Sounds really fantastic, music is superb for a jam game! There was a good deal of dialogue for how easy fast you get between planets -- that was a nice few minutes of gameplay, seriously! :laughing:
:) This was so much fun! I love the art. I love the music! I love all the characters! Very cute game.
This is so charming aaaaaa!!! It was so sweet vising all the planets and meeting the different characters, they're all so cute! I hope I did everything correctly though, at some point I was asked to deliver a letter to Marie in the Mushroom planet but then it skipped to the final mission before I could do it, hope I didn't mess up or something!
(also I want to give Shane the biggest hug)
Great art. Great sound. Great story. Space is water? The space parts are a great way to break up the dialog, but they are short and quick enough that it doesn't break it up too much. Poor Jeremy, were there other branches that I didn't see?
@shiiro-10psi @francis yes! There are 3 endings! Thank you for playing
Jam game Constellation Courier is a great example of how to do player controls the right way. The dialogue is also well written with cute accompanying characters.
Beautiful art! looved the visuals and all the characters! I wish there was a rating for writing in ludumdare so we could rate your game for that! very polished game thanks for sharing and please keep up the good work!. It did get a little tedious since we are not running away from anything or we are not trying to catch or manage anything other than following the story.
Great submission. Art is beautiful, music is rockin, storyline is consistent and the characters are cute, diverse, and likable. Really impressive, well done!
Amazing work team ! The music and art is from another world (pun intended). It was a really nice experience! And real quick emotional ! Love it !
@peachy please teach me how to make graphics like that. That's amazing work. Sounds like a lot of you are first time game jammers. Great game!
It has a wonderful story, I love it! Flying through the solar system on a fish is fantastic, and every character and planet is so great! Well done!
cute game. loved the themed planets and the theme fit nicely. well done.
OK this is definitely the best game I've played in LD53 by far, I came *this* close to giving 5/5 to every single category. Superb music, smooth control, interesting dialogues and beautiful graphic! Great job!
Also please feel free to check out my game as well :D (it's a music-based game that takes 5 minutes to beat)
Everything about this game was absolutely amazing! The graphics, the sound design, the story telling, the character building! Literally everything about this was amazing! Absolute fantastic job!
Really amazing game for a game jam. So impressed that you guys were able to get something this polished out before the deadline, Congrats! However did find a small spelling error by Shane "usually" spelt as usully.
riley is the cutest character, so whatever she says goes
@wadlo thank you so much!! I just used basic Procreate brushes and an unquenchable love of cuteness
Really sweet game, glad I played it. Touching in a way. The characters were the highlight for me and the quirky planet arena the whole thing suited it well. Music was great. I think some audio ambience and highlights would have elevated it. I was also losing track of who the letters were from or about... some kind of avatar popping up when somebody was referred to would have been good.
Freaking. Beautiful. This feels like a very personal game, I love all the characters (a bit sad that I related to Shane and Riley so much ;w; - well except for the wedding crashing part), the art and music are PHENOMENAL, set the mood so well you feel like you're actually getting to know these characters, even if you only speak to them for a couple seconds each. The overworld music specifically almost makes me cry. There's not much in the gameplay, it's more of a visual novel, but the game knows its strengths very well. Congratulations to all the team you all did wonderfully!!
Hey there devs! I just wanted to let you know I'm going to be playing your game on my [Twitch](https://twitch.tv/Aurailus) in 20 minutes here, if you wanted to be there! I'll edit this comment with my review once I've played it.
Wow beautiful game, love the cute concept of delivering messages from people across a star system... Cute art, wholesome dialogue, and incredible soundtrack, great job people!
Game is on another level! Art is amazing, the dialogues and everything is just SO polished, I loved it!!! 😍 GREAT work!!!!
What a cute game, and even with a twist I hadn't seen coming at all. Only thing that confused me in the beginning was that you need to undock from the planet to move. after that the controls were really smooth. near the end i accidentaly flew to the wrong planet and saw that there's extra dialogue, which was a really nice touch!
Very wholesome and pretty game with amazing art and also very fitting music. I will definitely replay it until I have figured experienced all the endings! :) Loved the story so far!
The music and the art in the cutscenes were really awesome! Loved all the different character designs. I wasn't finding the gameplay particularly engaging, but then there was a twist and I perked up. Did not see that ending coming. Saucy.
the polish on this one is wonderful. a delightful chill adventure in kawaiispace <3 loved teh character design and art
Very well made! Great art, great sound and great story!
Such a cute game. I really liked the graphics and sound. You are great!
I can't say enough about this game. It's beautiful, the characters are all so lovable, the gameplay was super chill and relaxing (bonking into the sun and just chilling there was great). I only wish that I could have gotten Shane to the wedding, but oh well. I was impressed by the branching plotlines, **SPOILER**: ~~although it susses me out a little bit that for the alternate ending Marie just leaves without even telling Jeremy in person~~ **/SPOILER**. This is a top notch game, I just know you're going to score well. Fantastic job!
Very easy-going game with the good vibe. Thanks, enjoyed much!
Hey thanks for stopping by the stream. Here's the VOD where I played your game if you're interested: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1812362155
Well done to everyone on the team, this was a very polished experience. The art is one of the best I have seen so far this jam. Music and sound effects were also very well done. Personally I found the experience to be a tad bit long, but that may be just me. Overall good job!
The graphics in the game are gorgeous. The background is intoxicating, but the characters and planets are so charming. This looks better than some of the games I've bought on steam recently haha.
Also, I heard there are multiple endings so I'll have to come back and giver another go.
SPOILER ~~I support Marie in her disaster lesbian quest~~. GREAT second ending. Great little story game, it's a super interesting take on the visual novel kind of genre.
Nice game! Interesting story and super cute characters, good job guys!
AMAZING game I feel Shane so much they just like me fr fr
I played this on stream, and despite it not being the type of game I'm usually into, I found myself actually caring a bit about these fictional characters' lives. I even replayed it to get a second ending. The art was amazing through and through, combined with the pleasantly fitting music, the variety of characters, the detailed dialogue, this made for a very complete experience. Fantastic work!
Thank you so much for dropping by My stream! I really enjoyed the game :)
Thanks for submitting your game on the stream! Here’s the stream if you wanted to re-watch initial thoughts (timestamps in the description to jump to your game!) [youtube link](youtu.be/jljB3XXZHcg)
Super cute! Love the artstyle and the calmness of the world. You're fitting the theme nicely, congrats for your submission!
Wow!!! Really nice art and music! It was fun to swim around just to watch the parallax effect! Cute story too!
Hey!
I felt this game was really crafted with love. The art and music, character designs and writing were all so cute and cohesive that the atmosphere drove most of the experience for me. On the gameplay side, I would have appreciated a little bit more tension in terms of reasons to make specific decisions, or even narrative beats that complicated the "mission" to keep me engaged, as the story right now is very straightforward and dramatically things are very smooth and flat.
Still, I enjoyed my time and didn't run into any technical issues, which is a testament to a well made game especially in a jam.
Cute game love the art, music, and writing!
