The thought of detail in this game is amazing. The gravity around the planets the me camera shake and zoom in and out added a great feel to the game. I enjoyed the time playing it. I had trouble gathering three ingredients to feed to the ship but it could very well be a user not skilled enough issue. Fun game, great job!

Neat game! the gravity had a lot, very hard! The only issue i had was accelerating / decelerating was also changing the sound of my game x) Congrats!

When you hit a good slingshot it feels so nice, good work!

A very sweet game. Really liked the graphics and audio - the controls were a bit challenging to get the hang of but it was good fun!

Had 7 seconds left to deliver, started rushing through and dodging asteroid fields before turning and shooting the meal at the very last second and landing it. Definitely felt like the stakes were high lol. Running over the aliens can be frustrating tho, especially in gravity fields. but loved it and good tutorial/art.

Great entry!


It is appreciate to have a tutorial & explanations before starting, good point!

As well as being able to collect back food when missing our shoot, since I was not good at aiming it happened quite a lot to me :sweat_smile:

Controls were a bit difficult to handle at first (especially when trying to escape gravity zones) but after couple of minutes we get used to.

Art direction and music are great, they bring humor and are coherent :thumbsup:



Congrats, well done! :clap: :clap:

Really liked the onboarding there, super playful and intuitive! The game is simple and works fine, although a bit frustrating to pilot the ship, but that feels like part of the fun of the game. Well done!

Fun game, and well made (with a complete tutorial !). The ship is a bit to drifty and the planet's gravity a bit heavy, but the graphics and the global mood are cool. Good job :slight_smile:

Pretty fun experience! I liked it! The ship was quite hard to steer, and it was a bit difficult for me to aim as well. But the graphics were really playful and expressive and the theme is buckwild, I love it! Running over people in space to cook them and can them up has a very special brand of funk to it. Incredible work with the gravity, but I ended up being trapped in a black hole, which I did find rather funny. (But you might want to make it slightly easier/possible to escape it.)

Good job!!

Great game loved it! I had a lot of fun just seeing how fast I could go and blast around the planets. When I smeared an alien going 3x the speed of light it really made me giggle.

Loved the graphics/art its amazing. Also great job on the music, it set a really cool mood for the game. Appreciated the volume slider on the menu and menu tutorial. The gravity aspect was challenging but added lots of innovation to the game. Really well thought out game, well done!

Controlling the car fells like maneuvering a heavy shopping car, and it makes really fun driving trough fish in space suit.

An interesting theme implementations, such a calm and meditative gameplay. Controls lacks something like acceleration in my opinion, but that's rather unimportant. Also the music is beautiful, great job.

I liked the game! It has good looking visuals and fitting music.
Maybe the implementation of customizable controls woud be nice, but that maybe would be a bit too much to ask for a gamejam ;)

The orbital mechanics are very well implemented. The game overall is quite engaging and rather fun to play. The volume slider could maybe hide after a while, and it would be cool if the edges of the map just seamlessly looped you back. The pull of the planets might be a bit too jarring on the line of gravity influence. Great work!

cool game! Very interesting that all the planets have gravity effects. I'm not coordinated enough to do well, but I can appreciate the quality of the mechanics just the same.

What a beautiful game. I really enjoyed playing with gravity. Around 10 minutes I realized the game might just go forever so I just messed around flying through orbits. It's a really good time.

Here's my playthrough

My game is about drifting too so it was interesting seeing a different take on a somewhat similar concept.

I especially like the relaxing atmosphere you've went for!
The few moments where I managed to steer myself exactly where I wanted to go were especially satisfying!

Beautiful game! Without a doubt, art is the strong point here, the work they did is incredible. Congratulations! As for the gameplay, I find it a bit difficult to get out of the gravity zones, most of the time I passed by (probably the intention, but it was a bit difficult for me jeje!), incredible game. Congratulations again! xD

_in space, no one can hear you drift_ --- it's really fun!! --- I actually really liked the approach where, instead of going "hmmm yes let's try to make a 5~15 minutes experience for the player" from the get-go, it's a system that feels pretty tricky where you have to really _**push yourself**_ to ghet more gameplay time --- very ingenious IMO actually --- I found the hitzones really unforgiving ^^# --- beyond that everything works --- the tutorial is _**really well thought-out**_ and seemlessly integrated, really kudos to that --- the vehicle feels great, the graphics and sounds are great --- great little game, thanks for the gameplay experience :grinning: :sparkles:

Very unusual controls, if the damage taken by the ship was accounted for I would be dead many times already :D I love the freedom of open space and the idea of the gameplay. And everything looks very nice ^^

A lot of great ideas! Dynamic camera, space-like hovering influenting controls, on-screen indicators, functions easy to use. I really liked it, it's always great to see fun ideas well realised :)

You did great, team! Nice entry :D
