A really nice game. The enemies where quite easy to evade, but that also made it easier to focus on the puzzle part.

I think it's a great game for kids, very satisfying and forgiving! Really nailed the aesthetics with art and music. Kinda reminds me of "cut the rope" back when it was still wholesome. Keep it up!

Thank you for playing and for some very nice feedback. Cut the tope was mentioned in our design inspiration actually! :D

Would be great if you could change the colour of yarn or the style of the rocket ship!

Dam those pesky aliens!!

Thank you so much, i'm really happy you enjoyed it. It was a fun challenge trying to get all our elements to work cohesively together :-)

A very polished game imo. The mechanic match the theme literally. The movement of the rocket need some time to get used to  but after that it's great experience. Played it all 7 level, enjoyed every bit of it.

Loved this game, played all of it and it is so good! The style is really well done and the animations are really funny. At first I thought the aliens were too easy to avoid but boy was I wrong about that for the later levels. Really well done!

Good Job. Very relaxing game, I like the art and music, I like the way you implemented the rope (this is something I have to learn too). Only one think, If you made a mistake how you can restart the level? 

When I started the Jam I had a similar Idea as yours.. but after I move to another type of game because my ship movements didn't convince me.. your ship moves well.

Reply
MagikaMUSHDeveloper4 years ago

Thank you for playing, and what a coincidence that we had a similar idea!

In the first level the tutorial boards mention Holding SPACE while on a planet to disconnect all connected planets, so you can retrace your steps without starting the level from scratch :)

Love the music. Love the gameplay. LOVE the art. I'm amazed by the tiny details, especially the box that moves as levels change and the shadows of the objects! So cute.

Thank you for your very kind feedback, I will make sure to tell people about Grandma's Ghosts as I loved playing it. :)

Reply
mariannepritchardDeveloper4 years ago(+1)

Oh thank you so much i'm so glad you enjoyed it and noticed things like the shadows as getting them in the game turned out to be one of the trickier parts. I really liked Grandma's Ghosts it was so funny and the art work really works well with the story!

Thank you very much. Your game looks phenomenal, I will definitely be checking it out (-:

What a super cool little game! The amount of polish is astonishing. I think it would be better to increase the acceleration and deacceleration a tiny bit to keep the rocket feeling but remove the long time to change directions.
