This is a very nice entry! Great art, nice sound effects, fun action. Nicely done. I would have felt a little more in control if the "tipping point" between planets was a little more forgiving, but that's probably just a personal preference sort of thing.

Very nice entry! Like the graphics, controls take a bit of getting used to but once you get it they work well.

Congrats on your game! This is a fun little game to play and is actually quite challenging. I really like the gravity effect of the planets and your graphics as always are simple, yet very clean and well balanced as always. Just needed an audio track to push the 'fun' to the next level. Cheers, Ben.

Nice one! Game plays very well, controls are tight. A little disorientating at times but nothing unbearable. Reminds me of the theme "tiny" from a while back. Was a bit too easy at times, but I think that might have just been me getting better at the game. I can see this working really well as a mobile game. Art was good, not sure if there were SFX, the comments say there was but I didn't hear any. Very well polished. Hopefully this game will make it into the top 100. :3

Graphic is very comfy to look at. The game mechanics reminds me of a game "They Need To Be Fed", but it's still an awesome game.

Really nice style. And interesting mechanics. I would have liked shorter levels to start with so that failing didn't come with such a big cost. I did enjoy my failings though.

Very nice :)

I found the mechanics a little bit slow, but other than that this is a very solid entry.

Fun! Nice little concept and well executed. The jumping controls seemed more complicated than they needed to be but was still very playable!

Awesome superfun game. Only thing i didn't like was the audio. I gave it 5 stars though ;)

Really beautiful and easy to pick up and play. Although the mechanics were easy to learn, I'm still awful, haha. I think that has more to do with my relative skill at this kind of game more than a design problem though.

Feels very polished and the gameplay is solid. Something to consider in the future would be maybe reducing the amount of pick ups that you need to get and also maybe making the character move a bit faster. Glad you managed to finish this game Snout ;]

Pretty fun, with nice bright visuals. It felt a little too difficult to switch planets occasionally, and it would've been cool to have more levels. But I enjoyed it overall.

Movement is a bit slow but that really is the only major complaint. It is a good concept and quite polished already. Good rating from me.

Really nice entry! Graphics are so cute and it's super polished for a first time. At first I thought instead of diamonds those were toast, now I want some toast... :P

Interesting concept, nicely polished - good job!

It's similar to our entry, but we think we prefer your jetpack mechanic! Liking the double press.
