Incredibly unique, and well-executed as well! The art style was really cute.

This was very cool! Always love a  space game. The sound was also enjoyable to listen to and the art fit. I also appreciated the way you did the tutorials

Felt great to play. Art was gorgeous. Amazing job! The music was a little "wii music" but the fact you made it yourself makes it all the better

Awesome game! Butter-smooth controls, great job! It felt amazing to fly the rocket around. I also really loved the music, before it started to loop the different beats of the song were pairing so perfectly to my movements I genuinely thought it was programmed to sync to them ha! I'm sad I got stuck after a few tries trying to break a wall but couldn't find a way to get enough speed, but that just means I'll definitely be back for more. Really cool!

Developer

oh, adaptive music could be really cool! i gotta keep that in mind for my next project. thanks!

SO COOL gameplay ! It feels really nice at full speed going from a planet to the other ! The dotted line really help seeing what is happening even at full speed this is so cool ! I love the handrawn art it add some poetry to the universe you've made.

I think your rocket and the car from my game would really get along lol.

Really nicely done game, I only wish the UI looked as good as the game art but of course it's a jam project can't blame you on that.
