Extremely fun !!!
I had a lot of fun.
Will love to see collision of object with asteroid.

I love the 'action/reaction in micro-gravity' mechanic; the slow drift after grabbing a new item is a nice touch too. I appreciated the tutorial in the first stage. The art is a great fit; I especially liked the background art.

The art is cute and simple, the references were awesome and the name itself already had me sold! Awesome job!

Great Game! Honestly, I love the concept, it feels like a rhythm strategy? weird to explain wonderful to experience!

Cool game, but it's kind of hard to click when your character's near the edge of the screen.

Great work on this game! Plenty of levels with a good ramp up in difficulty. The mechanic was simple to understand. My biggest frustration with the game were the controls, I felt like the mouse movement was a bit to twitchy which made precision more difficult. Also trying to rotate the character towards the edge of the screen became a challenge as well. That said I really enjoyed this game. Great work.

Ваша игра была моим фаворитом на сибирском джеме) Вы славно потрудились, вышло очень круто!

Simple, but nice. Only problem is, how to throw away things when very close to the screen border.

Really fun, Loved the death sound made me laugh, the drift after you catch an object is a nice touch for it you want to take the harder routs.
Rick and Morty reference nice touch always love easter eggs.
the only problem I had was clicking when my guy was near the side of the screen.

This has some really cool sound effects and graphics. It is a funny game idea which could be improved later with new mechanics

A super simple game idea made into a pretty fun little game. I especially like the visual style and the music. Overall a good jam game. Well done.

Мне тоже зашло, и геймплей, и саундтрек, и графика. Отличная работа :v:

Симпатичная графика, но управление показалось неудобным (иногда, в быстрых ситуациях можно запутаться, ибо пунктирная линия плохо ассоциируется с направлением, но, возможно, можно привыкнуть) и, как упоминали выше, управление рядом с краем экрана доставляет проблемы. Но, в целом, игра неплохая! Отдельный плюс за отсылочку к "Автостопом по галактике"! :)

Just finished the game. Your game reminds me of old flash games. Good graphics, though the menu has a different scale. The gameplay is interesting, a little monotonous. In General, quite high quality! Good work!

Congratulations to the team, this game is very cool! I really like how simple and fun the mechanics is! <3 The ship's collision is too big, you can pass levels without following the path of the items. Also, love the rick`n`morty reference!

Cool idea and great game! Loved the art and the music. With a bit of polish, this is a mobile game candidate!

Hilarious concept and interesting mechanics. Let me know if you ever need some original music as well. Love all the random space debris, especially the Plumbus! ;p

Unusual and enjoyable game with cute graphics and sounds. Найс ворк^^

I love it! You took a very simple base idea, but it does not seem so simple because the levels are tightly designed and the odd choice of objects (a plumbus, why a plumbu? :sweat_smile: ) had a nice diversity. Graphics are really good and the losing scream is sooo fun :smile: It all comes together in a really sweet package. I love this entry!

One thing I disliked was the controls when you reach the edge of the screen. There is just no chance to rescue yourself when the mouse gets out of bounds. Maybe you could add border where the game screen ends but you still have room to move your mouse.

I really loved the graphics on this one.
I did find it hard when you were on the edge of the screen, it was really hard to aim then.
Nice work!
