Once I got on Win10, worked fine! If only I could say the same about my jumping skillz... As others have mentioned a slightly gentler learning curve would be nice. ; - ) Parallax is good and I liked how the instructions were integrated with initial gameplay.

ran great on windows, challenging platformer with decent polish, I liked it! The sprite animations were especially nice

Just to let you know, got this from latest Windows build from GitHub (jupiter-candle-win10.zip) running on Win 7 (not Win 10, so maybe that's the problem...). Sure sounds interesting from everybody else's reactions though!

Yea probably win 7 - I have no way to deploy or test on win 7 right now.

If you really want to try you could install SBCL (http://www.sbcl.org/) and quicklisp and run it from source as described on the itch page.

The game feels very nice in the beginning when there's a huge boost for speed but it almost always stops when you knock a platform with your head and it kind of goes very slow from there. Very nice sound effects weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

This is super neat!

The music is really nice, a great fit.

The animations of the astronaut are tight, I love the somersault.

There’s a really good variety of platforming (I reset a bunch, saving humanity is hard).

Love the parallax effect from the multiple background layers.
