its a nice little game, but the game is not that challenging and seem to have a mind of its own... which can be good if that is what you are aiming for. Graphics are nice and everything is put together nicely. Good job!!

Little bit hard to control but it was nice challenge for me. Sounds are nice. i love the map in the corner.

The controls are kinda hard, but it was very satisfying, when I quickly and succesfully navigated between the planets.

Haha flying around was pretty fun ^_^
You can avoid landing on other asteroids by pressing left and right while suspended in space, which can help speed across the map! :D

Really cool! It's actually fun once you get the ropes of the controls, which are a bit weirdly placed and slightly difficult to learn. Overall I really liked it, specially the "gravity" mechanics!

Cute little game. I've gotten to like that creature but it dies every time :cry:. I had some problems figuring out the "long distance" steering between celestial bodies, honestly I never completely got it right. So I figured I'd just hop from body to body. It worked well enough for me until the insects came. Those insects got me every time.
I enjoyed playing the game and I think you did a great job. Perhaps some tweaking of difficulty for the insects part, but overal very enjoyable.

Thanks for playing my game cvetkO! The game needs for sure a some tweeking on the difficulty and more variety in terms of gameplay. I think everybody will understand, but I had to put on the shelves a lot of ideas as far the time fled (too fast).
The flying mechanic is bit tricky first, but once you master it, it is so enjoyable to fly directly to the targeted planet. This is the key to defeat the insects.

It's a nice space to be in and fun to run around jumping between the planets but I would have like to have seen more game play.

I liked the movement, it was really fun just floating around all the planets slingshotting across the map to get something for my flower. Good job!

Cute game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/jKms-qsuTgw

Nice game! I liked the space concept, even though the controls could be a little confusing at times. I think it would be neat if there would be some recovery item.
