Every kid must have had this kind of dream HAHAHA

UI looks awesome, great choice of music, gameplay feels addictive that I want to play again

Things I'd consider to improve:
- there could be a short intro scene to explain why is the astro guy falling, that will bring a lot to the narrative
- add gameplay variety (different circles that offers different buffs / challenges to the player

Developer(+1)

hey great feedback! appreciated a lot🤍🤍 we'll definitely consider these if we happen to continue the project! regarding the narrative, the ending sequence actually is trying to spoil a bit of the background story, and our planner Martin wanted it to stay mysterious at the moment haha

Not my favorite use of the theme but the gameplay is nice and the music is great!

Developer(+1)

The music is really fantastic!! love it myself

Submitted(+2)

Great concept, and fun game! I really liked the artwork and the music was fantastic!

Developer(+2)

I must say the music is really a masterpiece <3

I might be biased (composer is a friend), but as a fellow composer I think I can be objective enough to say that it's really quite good! LOVE the title screen.

Developer(+1)

oh i see! oh the title screen is a quick screenshot from Martin, and it literally included all the system strings from Unreal and I have to Photoshop-ed them out in 10mins haha

intersting mechanic, the loop is actually the endless gameplay ? i had some problems with the precision of control

Developer(+2)

Well...yeah sorta haha. What precision issues u faced? Could you share a bit more?

Submitted(+1)

the controls feels like you controlling a small ball, not that kind of Character, you cannot accelerate or brake the falling, it could feel more comprehensive. But this is my opinion, feel free. ( I posted i had some problems with it) Great Entry 

Developer

ah i see, these are great! thanks for sharing! yes we had discussion over accelerating, but didn't got enough time to complete that. should we decide to continue poloshing this project we'll definitely look into the details you shared <3

I liked this!  This was really clean and looked good.  I would have loved to see more happening with the actual mechanics.

Developer(+2)
