Wow! 
This is certainly a great game! It was very fun and each level made me think! It felt as if this game could already be one of those flash games that kids would play during ICT Haha 

I seemingly only saw one bug where when sometimes landing on a green/blue planet, it would destroy the rocket, though it didn't happen all the time.

Amazing Game. Very entertaining, with quite in-depth mechanics considering the time-frame it was made in.

10/10 given the requirements. Very original and entertaining puzzle where timing matters. Plays very smooth and looks great, amazing job!

This game is awesome! The puzzles are challenging enough that they made me think, and the idea of having an order to how the rocket should travel around the level.

Amazing work, especially when considering the given requirements and the limited time it had to be done, incredibly well refined and with great level design. Only criticism is a small issue with the fire trail moving quickly across the screen after teleportation, this may have been a design choice though. How did you come up with the concept and level design?

Developer

I won't lie, not a design decision, just something I didn't focus on polishing. The concept evolved from a star gazing game where you would jump from star to star to form the constellation that was prompted, but we quickly moved to a game more focused on planets as we felt like rotating around them made more sense. The level design was based on adding new obstacles every 4 levels, the first of which being a simple level that showcases the mechanic and then the later 3 increasing in difficulty by incorporating previous obstacles and also more of them. Thanks for the feedback!

Best game of the jam! It's extremely creative, the art is really pretty, and my only critique is that there's not more of it! Great job guys :)

unity particle system go brrr

really fun and interesting, and yeah visuals are very pretty, very creative with the limitation of one button by adding the rotation and all the other features which can add alot to just having to press one button

For the time and criteria we had, this game is amazing. The art and the programming gone into this is really neat. It's also unique to me, I haven't seen a game like this, which is rare considering its a 1 button game.  Only area of improvement, would be level progression, and making some of the end levels slightly harder? 

Developer

Thank you so much. Yeah I agree levels towards the end could definitely be much harder. Maybe if we tweaked some of them by moving obstacles around or adding more as I'm aware that there are not so obvious exploits for avoiding harder areas that was not intended. Glad you liked it.

The idea and gameplay for this game was well executed and I had fun playing it. Hind would be useful as some level had me brute force the game to complete the level.

Very fun game. It was quite confusing on what to do but understood it quickly. Very engaging one the best here.

My favourite game here. I was confused on the other of what you had to do for a bit though so maybe hints around that element might help, especially for further, more complex levels. For example, I was just kind of clicking and sending the player to whatever planet and didn't realise I had to prioritise picking up the astronaut first and then proceed. Fun graphics + physics + idea 10/10

Entertaining game with interesting mechanics. It is well made and intuitive . Slight issue with animations resetting when the scene reloads which is a little jarring but other than that this is a well polished game

Really fun game with some challenging puzzles. I found myself getting stuck on a few levels but never for to long and really enjoyed playing. The models were really well made and the animation at the end was really cool

Really fun challenge. Great job of introducing and implementing new mechanics into the game.
