This was an interesting game without a doubt. I love the Kangaroo astronaut concept! It took some practice to get the hang of the jumping mechanics, and at first I was frustrated because I thought it was being non-responsive when I jumped, but I figured out that it was momentum that was needed. I think this mechanic works well sometimes, and other times it hurts the game, because you miss some pretty simple jumps sometimes and have to hop backwards a bit and have another go at it. Other than that, the game has a beautiful aesthetic. Your scenery is gorgeous, and you have 4 levels of parallax! I appreciated the level select. Not sure if the theme was strongly represented, but the look of this game did amaze me nonetheless. Some more sounds and maybe some music wouldn't hurt. I would definitely play this again! Great job!

I see your kangaroo is going to space! Maybe he'll meet my Llama ;) Nice animations. Could've used some music, though. Rated!
It looks interesting. The movement of the character resembles the control of a typewriter in a physical platformer, in order to have horizontal speed, you need to accelerate. But playing for a long time is boring. Good luck with development)
I’d agree with other people here that the controls are a little finnicky, but once I got the hang of the jumps it was actually quite fun! It’s still a little annoying though, and my biggest complaint is that changing direction is pretty slow. Plus you don’t really have control in the air - it would be nice to be able to control where you land a little more, so you can chain jumps more easily.
The visuals are great, but the controls aren't responding very well.
