I rather enjoyed that, a nice fun puzzler platformer. You really pushed the carry gimmick quite far, and it made solving certain situations quite fun.
Great job. Goodluck with the jam

How does your game match the theme?
We incorporated the 'space' theme by first having a character who only had the space in their inventory to carry one item at a time. You will also find in the game play areas where there is not enough space for the character to fit while carrying an item.
We doubled down on the space theme by setting the game on a moon base. Players will find that gravity changes in our game. Both the location of the player, inside vs outside, and the objects carried by the player can change the gravity experienced.

Amazing game, in my top 5 for sure! The micro-puzzles are very fun and a great interpretation of the space theme. I really like the sound effects too. Thank you for the fun experience!

Galactic ValetNice game and movement, nice music too. The platforming is great and there's more areas to explore than I thought... Really nice game for this jam!

Martian SolsCute! I like the art and definitely not what I was expecting my character to be off that start. That was a funny surprise. The jump was a bit jerky and hard to control at times but that was very minor.
Overall, very solid game so nicely done!

Deep Space Trucker 9Excellent level design. Mechanics are introduced in a clean and concise way, and they escalate nicely. It's super satisfying to set off chain reactions with fuses (a little screenshake to emphasize explosions would be nice).
Impressive work, congrats!

Siren Cat in SpaceThis game is one of my candidates for winner. I simply love it! It is perfect

Room MakersAwesome map design! It was quite satisfying when you would unlock a new shortcut with the fuses. The only thing I felt it lacked was a more in-depth storyline.

Cosmic Cleaning CrewOne of my favorites I've played so far. You get a ton of mileage out of the mechanic and it feels great, awesome work!
I do think I got permanently stuck in a room on the left side - there's a spot where you need to place an anchor down to pick up a fuse, but if you die before you get to the fuse, the anchor spawns somewhere you can't get back to, if you got the checkpoint right after it (the room that you need to be holding the anchor to protect your head from the spikes). I'm sure this would be an easy thing to fix.

Castle of the CosmosCute and fun! The coins and background stars did a good job of telegraphing the proper direction of certain leap-of-faith jumps and balloon rides. Overall, the implementation of the mechanics was really clever.
I wonder who the unfortunate skeleton was.
Great work!

MoonstruckI liked it! The puzzles are nice, and I appreciate that the ship itself kinda points out where each ship part is - the hole for the lower right ship part is in the lower right, etc. I completely missed the lower left ship part at first, and that design decision made sure I knew where to look instead of fumbling around the whole map.
Also, when I first grabbed the rocket thing I thought that was a ship part and took it back to the ship, haha whoops. So in that regard, I also really appreciate the shortcuts opening up as you progress, otherwise I would have had to redo everything I just did!
My only complaint is with the jump - it's way too fast. It doesn't feel like there's any real arc or weight to it, the character just zooms straight up then straight down at top speed. I've barely pressed the button before he's back on the ground, so it's only with the rocket that it feels like there's a proper arc. The walking(?) speed is also a tad fast, though that's understandable considering the size of the map.
PS: I like the little fake-out of starting the game and thinking you'll play as this big astronaut, then you try to move and the head pops off.

Chase the StarsThe gameplay is a bit fun, the gimmicks are okay and the art is pretty cute. Only complaint are the wires that OH MY GOD JUST OPEN THE DOOR ALREADY

SPACE BAR CADETGreat game! Progress is well controlled and puzzles are challanging but not that hard, which is good :D
