How does your game fit the theme?
It's a reversal of katamari's mechanics! Instead of navigating space, you play as the universe exerting gravitational pull.

Good game! 😊
Little Laika was adorable, and the way you explained the mechanics through the play screen was really intuitive! It got a little frustrating towards the end, where there were very few planets to score with, but nice game nonetheless!
Well done! 😄
Love it! One of my favourite games of the jam. Great presentation, funny, tight gameplay. You've nailed this, well done!
Thank you so much! This comment absolutely made my day ❤️
I loved the presentation above all. Way that cutscenes and narration flown was spot on. Also this interactive, 2d eyes animation was really cool.
Game was especially intresting to me since about a year ago I was part of the crew working on another game about dog in space, called 'Space Tail: Every journey leads home'.
What a crazy coincidence that you worked on Space Tail! While we were working on the game, I was curious to see if anyone else make a game about Laika and your game was the one that came up! I really love the art direction :) Thanks so much for playing our game!!
This is absolutely adorable and the physics are so much fun! Plllleeeeeeasssseeeeeeeee can we see more of this? I love it
So adorable I love Laika!
This is unbearably cute and weirdly calming. Fantastic work!
I was wondering if this was a spin on katamari. until I read your submission above. very nostalgic.
Very cute game, I had a lot of fun!
This is the cutest idea ever
Wow this game was such a joy to play, I did find the gameplay a little slow, maybe a touch too hard to shake off all the dirt. I eventually realized I could stop pulling Laika towards a planet just before they enter orbit. Which meant I could just pull doggy friend into a planet over and over to shake it all off.
Overall though, what a wonderful experience! The narrative was so cute and the amount of polish and great ideas in this one is off the charts!
I like the vibes. It's funny. Gameplay feels kind of tedious to me though.
I really like the Universe character. The art kinda reminds me of a game called "Before your eyes". The gameplay itself is quite simple but I like the fact that the planets attached to the dog influence it's gravity. The dynamic between the Universe and the dog is funny. Great game!
Most existentially relevant game of the jam
This is the most fun I ever had beating up an adorable dog XD but seriously this game was a lot of fun. Fantastic work with the cutscenes and the art. The mechanic was fun too. Good touch with the cute bonk sound when Laika hits the planets, so it feels cute and less abusive. But I sucked at the game so that dog got whipped around every which way haha
loved this so much!! definitely a cozy game and wonderful interactions!
THIS IS SO ADORABLE OH MY ... i would not launch my dog into space but i might launch myself up there for a chance to meet laika... the gameplay was lovely and the interactions between laika and the universe were so silly and oddly compelling !!! just a wonderful job overall !!!!!
Fantastic Game! One of the most interesting submissions I've played so far. The concept is very unique and combined with great visuals and music it creates a very relaxing and just overall enjoyable experience. Great Work, Good Job!
This game is so relaxing that you don't notice how time flies in it
Absolutely loved this one! The game is funny and very enjoyable to play. Artstyle, music and soud effects were very cute and worked very well with the theme.
The connection to the theme feels slightly far-fetched, I wouldn't have gotten it at all if it wasn't written on the submission page.
Otherwise, there's really nothing bad I can say about this game. Really, really solid entry. Great job! :)
I have never played Katamari so I was going into this blank. I really enjoyed the game regardless. It was such a fun game. Also, you guys did all this art and music in such a short time? That is outstanding. Lovely game overall :)
