Animations were surprisingly good but the movement controls were a little frustrating and could have used more work.

I'd have be good to see some backstory and maybe a more challenging pace in my opinion. But the audio is pure gold, I really liked it and therefore the mood was very cool. I think it have some potential.

Not much challenge to this game - and I'm not entirely sure how it fits in with the theme. On the plus side, very nice music and sound effects! Kept me playing for quite a lot longer than I would have done otherwise, just listening to the music.

(Also, small bug report - when the character runs forwards, he follows the curvature of the planet, but when he runs backwards, he stays at his current height, and only drops down onto the planet when you let go of the down key. Just thought I'd mention!)

Interesting game. loved the sound, the animation was decent but the graphics need a lot of work. Also I'm not sure you are supposed to be able to go around the world, you can walk down the sides but the character goes out of the camera.
Didn't see the theme at all really.
Good luck and keep at it!

The audio is the best bit about this game, great result! Check GetButtonDown for jump instead of button state each frame because if you hold down the jump button it stomps forever.

The jump control is failed, but the sounds and graphics are corrects! A little tutorial is welcome :)
