This is a fun idea! I think it's hilarious that this dude can't get any girls because he lives too far away from the sun and can't get a tan LOL! I actually really liked that you could skip multiple planets and jump straight to Mercury (I jumped to Saturn first and then straight to Mercury).
I think if you added some cutscenes to each planet it would incentivize visiting each planet vs trying to aim your jump just right.
Great job!
Very creative and amusing game. It must have been quite a job to get all the gravity stuff working, so well done on that. I jumped too soon on Saturn and flew way out into space, which I think caused it to crash. But aside from that, good stuff!
Woah, unsure how it could crash! We struggled a lot with the gravity code, after a while we found a github repo (linked in description) that we could build off. Still a lot of struggles though haha
I liked this abstract piece of ABSOLUTE CINEMA! Also of course they had to be from Uranus, where else
I managed to skip over most of the planets to get my tan! The build up of speed was super satisfying
its gorgeous
Cinema.
Can’t fall into the sun (Mercury’s gravity is too stronk) :(
Funny short game, cool
Trust me, you do not want to fall into the sun (you die)
I mean the second thing you see in this game is the character's butt, this is a 10/10 and I'll fight anyway who says the contrary.
really really good stuff. very satisfying to build up speed and launch yourself toward the next planet.
Thanks matt!
Great idea! I really liked the backdrop of space. It was really peaceful when floating between planets. Collecting rings on the planets was a fun secondary objective, and each planet felt a little different based on the speed and sense of "gravity". The surface textures were pretty cool. Maybe you can add even more personality to the other planets, like different music or ambient sounds, so they each feel like a new stage.
^ Me, when I flew past Earth and next into the Sun ...
I had fun playing! The only other note is: no love for Mars or Venus? :o
Yeah it would be great with some more variety to the planets! Nice picture of you going into the sun haha, did you find the
spoiler
Perfect tanning place at Mercury?
Noo I zoomed right by Mercury 😆 what a neat Easter egg for skilled players.
Love the idea, jumping between planets was super fun!
Thanks!
He has the cake!
Indeed!
Wow, this game is very funny
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Good job. :)
Thank you :)
I think the reason pale man gets no girls isn't because of his paleness, but due to the lack of a voluminous behind. Overall I quite enjoyed it.
You might be on to something, thank you!
I jumped from Uranus directly to the sun, I admit it was pretty fun, I don't know if this was intentional but I felt an Outer Wilds vibes.
Ps: I allow you to place ads for my own game if you have some free time 🙏

I like the idea, having to run loops around planets to gather speed is pretty cool and fairly well done, as always, there is room to polish, but that comes with any game. I don't know what I'd change about it, it's very abstract, but I do like it!
7.5/10 ^^
I wish if Outerwilds had this much fun.
