I liked the underground areas. I don't know what the reticle box is for, and it would be nice to hide the mouse also.

Let's see, I've got a jetpack now, pretty sure I've seen the entirety of the manageable standard-size platformer map, this is going to be easy.

The little chiptune song is awesome. I would have loved to have an animation on the astronaut character. The graphics are cute too!

I really enjoyed trying to figure out how to attract each creature and having each new discovery yield a change to the player character is a fun twist! The reveal of the hidden underground areas was also pretty fun. It'd be nice to have some clarification on the reticle and also WASD support, but minor additions aside I had a good time here! Nice work!

Underground area was great, fun game overall.

I couldn't figure out how to attract them at all and ended up looking at the source code to find out. I guess I would suggest a hint system so that if someone is stuck they don't just give up. The reticle box was confusing, I thought I must be missing some way to interact with the world. Once I understood what I was doing though it was a very cool game! The way the underground blocks only show themselves when you are close to them is very cool and the creature behavior is interesting.

I like the concept of the game! I was surprised and intrigued when I found the underground area.

The control on the flash light is a bit off, it looks like it mouse movement is based on the center of the screen instead of on the player. Also the game was a bit short

But overall it's a good entry

Really liked it. Is one of those games that requires you to try new ideas, no real hand holding which can be a good thing, adding a control hint in the game some sound effects would be nice

This is super cute! I played all the way to the end. There was more depth to this than I initially expected!

The controls were a little wonky -- arrow keys + mouse is kind of weird. I would've preferred WASD + space to jump. But it wasn't the end of the world.

I really appreciated the creativity in how you had to do a different thing to get each creature.

I think it would be cool to see an updated version with animations, sound effects, etc.
