Such a polished little gem. I enjoyed the gameplay loop, exploring with the cute character and finding new items. I also liked the little dialgoues. The character controller was a bit janky, but it didn't really detract from the experience. The sound design was delicious all around, but OMG whoever sang the intro song, that was so beautiful, with all the harmonies! Huge congrats!

Very well done, great work!

Developer

Thank you for the very kind words! Really happy that you enjoyed it! :D

All the audio was great,  lovedthe rendition of Mr. Sandman in the menu!

I did get lost after picking up the electromagnetic protection, but it nevertheless was a fun game with a neat implementation of the odyssey style planet gravity.

Good job!

Thanks a lot for the feedback and the kind words! :)

Love the voice acting and music!

Developer

Thank you! :)

Super impressive use of orbital mechanics to represent a gravitational field! As an aerospace graduate I loved this. Also whoever sang the intro song should be on broadway :D

Thanks a lot for the kind words, very happy to hear that the mechanics were on-point! :D

I love the voice acting. Really great intro music. The main background music was a little too subdued, though, and didn't add much to the game. I love the main mechanic and the level progression, though the controls were strange to get used to. Solid entry!

Developer

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Very cute and adorable theme and aesthetic!  I really enjoyed that intro scene (though the subtitles were alightly ahead).

I do wish I could have spent more time in the world, it truly was very charming.

Thanks a lot for the kind words and for playing it on stream, really appreciate it! :)

About the subtitles: we believe it might be a browser issue. We had this same issue on Firefox (I see you also use this browser), but Chrome worked fine. Unfortunately, we realized this after the deadline so we didn't have time to figure out if there is a way to fix it :(

I really loved the atmosphere and aesthetic! The gameplay with gravity stuff was also well executed! I found the swapping directions to be a bit clunky to get used to but since there wasn't any pressure it was okay! Was fun to chill out and play through!

Perfect entry. Immaculate vibes, art and audio were A+ and the game play was just enough for a jam. Amazing job.

Thank you so, so much for playing our game on stream! It was so lovely to see your reactions and I'm glad my edited "pew pew" laser gun noises made your son laugh. We'll definitely consider a "universe obliterating" feature next time. :D

Such a lovely game - finding the shield was giving me trouble, but couldn’t give up and managed to complete it :)

I think this is just such a cohesive thing, where the music, gameplay and visuals complement each other perfectly. I didn’t find the controls annoying, instead it felt like any quirks were part of the challenge of the game. The level is very well constructed, so it’s not too easy, but can be solved with a little effort.

Game music with vocals is something I don’t hear a lot, and can be distracting, but here it was just perfect. Also the vocal loops in the gameplay fit the mood so well.

Amazing job!

Developer

Thank you so much for your kind words! Really happy that you enjoyed and completed the game! :D

Also very glad that you appreciated the controls: we were aiming for simple mechanics (walk and jump), combined with a challenging environment (small planets with unconventional gravitational fields) that would require you to truly master those simple mechanics.

Submitted

The controls are pretty rough and annoying at times, but other than that its a very solid game jam game in every other aspect.

Such an atmospheric and romantic game. The sound design is pure magic!

Developer

Thanks a lot! <3

Hi! You have a problem with the web version of the game SharedArrayBuffer is not enabled in the page settings. Right now, the game doesn't start for me

Developer

Thanks for reporting this! I just double checked and SharedArrayBuffer seems to be enabled (the game is running normally on my browser). Could you please let us know what OS and browser are you using? Maybe using a different browser could help? (e.g., on a Mac, I would recommend Google Chrome)

Seems like this is some itch.io bug  their game randomizer causes this error when finding your game, but it works fine via direct link. My bad for the false alarm :)

Ah I see! Thanks for the follow-up, hopefully this can help some other people :)

really cool, the audio and the gameplay,  I love games that make unusual use of gravity.
The only thing, I found the controls a little tricky, especially in the beginning.

Developer

Thank you! :)

Incredible audio. In generally loads of polish here. Pretty simple gameplay, but still a solid little adventure game.

Excellent work all around!

Developer

Thanks a lot for the kind words! :D

I really liked the audio and gameplay! It took some time to get used to walking on a circle, but once I got the hang of it I had lot's of fun jumping around

Thanks a lot! Very happy to hear you had lots of fun!

Nice and sweet, good job on the music too. Was a fun puzzle platformer :)

Developer

Thank you! :D

The menu music is fantastic -- and lots of content for a jam game.

I unfortunately got stuck after picking up the laser gun and couldn't figure out where to go

Developer

Thanks a lot, we really appreciate it!


SPOILER: you can use the laser gun to destroy some big rocks (by clicking on them) and reveal a new path.

overall fantastic!

Developer

Thanks! :D

Nice and neat experience, great audio, I love the ambience and I though the game was overall very enjoyable. I really liked the lightning maze. My only complaint would be that the upgrade items aren't blacked out which I think doesn't really match the overall aesthetic.

Developer

Thanks a lot for the kind words and the feedback! And great to see you completed the game :)

Very satisfying gameplay! Cool music and art as well :)

Developer

Thank you! Glad you enjoy it!
