Pretty fun game. I think the variety in levels was more or less enough to hold my attention the entire time... just the different rearrangements of black holes and platforms was really enough for how short the game is.

I thought the physics were a bit finicky... sometimes the black holes would direct me the opposite direction I expected, and sometimes I would get confused where exactly I should place my mouse to change the strength. (I think the mouse center suggestion is a good one).

Somehow when I first went through the tutorial I ended up thinking we were supposed to click on the screen where we wanted the player character to fly towards, as that's essentially what I did to complete the tutorial. Not really a real problem, just an interesting phenomenon.

One nitpick: I feel like the fire might look better if the texture was drawn at its maximum size and then scaled down (or, if necessary, have a couple different textures for different scales). Not a huge deal, I just tend to think consistently scaled pixels look better.

Overall though this was an incredibly solid entry. The game was fun, looked good, and sounded good.

I liked it! It was fun, had nice sound, controls were clear enough. I ended up clearing it completely. None of the puzzles felt particularly difficult, and I think that is generally a good thing for a Jam game. I would have liked to have a bit more of a clear input on where I was launching myself, but. That said. It wasn't a huge setback to be launched slightly off target. The reset time is super forgiving for when you make errors. So in that regard, the direction indicator really wasn't a big deal. And you could even argue it just adds to the games overall identity/difficulty. 

Great entry! ^^

A very fun puzzle game! I could definitely find myself relaxing to some of these levels… or getting very frustrated as my brain works to figure out more complicated ones!

Here are some thoughts as I was playing the game…

• The jump indicator (the three arcs … is there an official name for this? lol) is a little too broad, I think. When doing a jump style game, in my humble opinion, while you may not want to exactly mark out on the map precisely where your character is going to go, it should have a little bit more of an arrow-like indicator. Even just a little dot or triangle where the “center” of the indicator is. There were times I was making a jump and I thought I was aiming for a few degrees further up or down than I ended up jumping. This wasn’t a horrible issue, mind you, but it did irk me on a couple jumps.
• The gravity well/black hole element is awesome, but it’s introduced in an overly complicated level. I kinda sussed out what it was and was able to figure out the level, but others (especially young or new gamers with less experience in this style of game) may not quite understand it. In a later level you use the gravity well in a much simpler level. I think these two levels should have been switched.
• The radius you defined for the “sling” control might be too far back from the character. For the most part it’s not an issue, but there were times when I was near an edge of the screen where the control seemed to go a little haywire and I suspect it was because my mouse cursor couldn’t move outside of this radius. I hope that makes sense.
• This one is an idea/suggestion and not a critique of any issue… I noticed when the character was in the middle of a jump, there was an “air” (I assumed) indicator. I thought it would be cool (maybe for a difficulty setting) if the level had the air indicator instead of the character. Add that time element to the level. You could then add “air” canisters in the levels in such a way where the player would then have to choose whether to attempt finish the level as is, or jump for some extra air.

Ultimately, I really enjoyed this game very much! Excellent work!

Real fun puzzle platformer with mouse only controls

I really like the tune that really fits the space setting, and the little animation details on the pixel art like the booster flame and "radio wave" cone to indicate the direction and power of the thrust instead of having them in a UI

My only gripe is that it can be a bit hard to precisely estimate where you're gonna land with the radio thing alone, but nothing really major, the controls were easy to understand and get used to and i had fun playing the game, i just didn't manage to get past the level where you have one black hole at the bottom and i couldn't figure out where to go to pass it :(

But solid entry anyway :)

Very nice idea and neat execution. Proof that you don't need a complicated set of rules to make a great puzzle game. Wish we could see where the mouse drag center is for better fine tuning of the movement.

Dude, your game rocks! I liked everything about it. It's one of these games where you can see a potential for something beyond the jam. Congratulations

Clever concept, and well executed! There's a good amount of content here, too, so it feels like you're making the most out of the idea. It would be nice to have some indication of your trajectory before you take off (i.e. a line that bends around the black holes), but maybe that'd make it too easy.

I really enjoyed this game. The levels have a nice difficulty curve, and they are very fun.
Tho the general difficulty of the levels could be a little higher in my opinion.
The artwork looks nice, and the music fits well with the game.
There are some small visual complaints i would have, such as the tiles not connecting to the off screen, and the layers off some objects looking weird, but those are just small nitpicks
