At first I was trying to see how deep into space I could bounce myself, thought maybe the tiny ice balls? where collectables, tried to go for those, it was a tough shot. I became aware I was suppose to jump on the drill by accident, after I landed on it and the planet exploded.\n\nI think some sort of health indicator(or catastrophic bounce loss indicator) would quickly reinforce the idea I dont want to jump on the land, because the sound it makes when I hit land sounds like I am doing damage to it, not me.\n\nOverall very polished and cohesive visuals, very atmospheric. The progressive jump power particle indicators were a cool touch.\n","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":670624,"author_name":"Gareld","author_uid":"gareld","epoch":1619679364,"text":"@acuriosity thank you for your great feedback.
