How does your game fit the theme?
Our game fits the theme via our gameplay loop of constantly jumping and landing on asteroids. Dying also sends you all the way back to the start, so there is a "loop" of retrying over and over until you reach Pluto without getting hit. You also move across the ring of Saturn.

Nice little game! I didn’t really enjoy the unclear visual style I died without even realizing that what I was about to hit was something harmful and not just another rock.

The idea of a slime escaping from Earth to return to Pluto because of pimples caused by the heat really made me smile.
Great job!

I like the music + background story a lot! The game overall is pretty fun (and hard...) too :D

Interesting take and I really like the artwork! I struggled a bit in the beginning and noticing the spike definitely helped and so did getting used to the controls.  Nice and fun and hard!

That little spike on the platform got me so many times ;-; The game is otherwise very nice, although the music stacking every time I died (a lot) did get a bit much

Thanks for the feedback, Roo. I really liked how your game incorporated a loop of music. I wish I could escape scrolling like that :(

You can, friend! My game was inspired by how I use making my own music and video games to escape from the nasty stuff that's out there in the world :) You can find something too, like how you made this game!

The music is quite good.

Thank you!

Fun, but my game resets when I get to the 2nd platform above the surface of the earth - the one with the platform directly above it.  Rage inducing indeed - the music stacking helps with my decent into madness.  I've got to go now, I've got oil under my outer filament.

Oh ok I see the little thing...

Thank you so much for playing! I'll admit, that little spike hidden in the platform should've been more obvious or removed.
