Insane game!!
Very cool! I like the mechanics! But I just don’t understand how such a game could be made in 3 hours... Or did I misunderstand something in Jem’s conditions? 😅
Thanks for playing - glad you enjoyed! The jams rules say that you can have multiple people work on the same game, and each person gets their own 3 hours! So we had 3 total people working on it for 3 hours each :)
Yay!!! Such a cool idea! The moving planets were quite a lot harder than any other levels since you can't slightly tweak your trajectory, you have to wing it a lot more. Cool game!! Very well made
Thanks so much for playing, and the lovely comments, means a lot! :)
Yeah the moving planets ones are a cool idea, but we found that too - it was a bit too unpredictable and you can't slightly tweak (which is the main point of the game!). If we were to remaster this we'd definitely tweak this. Thanks for the feedback!
I LOVE THIS GAME
great idea, and great implementation!
Thanks so much, your words mean a lot to us! :)
I love the graphics, the music and the concept. It must have been so hard to put it together in only 3 hours !
Too bad the game is sooo difficult haha.
Thanks very much! It was really tough and required alot of pre-planning to execute in time - but we just got it done!
Thanks for the feedback - I totally agree, there's 1 or 2 levels that are super tough - it's a shame we didn't have enough time to fix them!
I got blocked at the level with the moving moon
