Lots of fun, I love zipping around space with the dash. The unique noises for each item is a nice touch. I can see this kind of traversal method being a lot of fun in a roguelike or procedurally generated kind of level system. Abstract but interesting and fun, really well done!

Developer

Thank you! Lovely to hear that you noticed the different sounds, I liked creating unique sounds for each item :)
Definitely, could see that as well!

Damn this was one of the most satisfying games to me! really feels great collecting and bringing the strange pellets to home bubble thing! Just that one bug that makes you go through the walls backwards was a bit annoying. Other than that, nice game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Yeah, the bug should be fixed in a post jam update :)

Quite fun, I had a great time!

Thanks!

What an amazing game, 5 stars! Beautiful in every sense and such a cool and fun concept! I wish there wasn't a timer so I could spend my time sapping every last bit of joy out of this game that I could!

Developer

Wow, thank you!! I will add a non timer mode in a post jam update so you can swim around and take your time ☀️

I was terrible at dashing but this game conveys exploration pretty nicely. Five stars for sure

Developer(+1)

Thanks and also  dashing can be a bit tricky

I really wish there hadn't been a timer, I was at around 600 and wanted to keep exploring. Nice game, great idea!

Developer

Thanks! As a post game jam update I will definitely add a non timer mode ☀️

It's so satisfying to just move around the game world and explore

Developer

Thanks, I tried to make the most basic interaction fun to do 🙏🏻

I love the sense of discovery I get from this game. I could play this for hours. Really nicely done.

Developer

Thank you so much!

Fun little concept, original but quick to pick up how to play.
I think I finished it, or at least I ate the gameboy which is a win of it's own.

Developer(+1)

Eating a Game Boy is always a win in my book!

I really enjoyed playing this, loved the sense of exploration from finding new things the further I traveled. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks, I loved creating fun stuff to find! :)

Really well done and polished little experience, with a really appealing idea and solid execution! I loved the little ouches that come out when I hit something! A cute little detail!

Developer

Thank you! :)

- So simple yet manages to convey a sense of exploration and venturing forth.

- Love the implementation of the theme, creative and fun.

- The look and sound effects fit perfectly.

- A detail I found especially elegant is the somewhat "built in" tutorial: you are able to get the first pieces of junk without worrying about the time limit. Once you learn the basics, you have to breach the ship and then the challange starts.

Thank you so much! And especially the tutorial part, I am proud that.

Very interesting and had lots of character! Such a bizarre situation!  Very fun.

Developer

Thank you!

I really liked the slow build on exploration that was given by the longer tether as you progressed. Wish there was a bit more in the world or that it was clearer where the edges were. Also the control scheme was really weird to have boosting be bound to both buttons being pressed at the same time. Also is there a way to actually "win" the game?

Developer

Thanks. I thought about making world boundaries, but that just felt silly in space, as soon as there are no background you are in no man's land, dash back.

You win by reaching a certain threshold (number indicating above the UI.

Submitted(+1)

This was a really neat control scheme and the world was fun to explore!

Developer

Glad to hear it!
