Game Description
A platformer inpired by Celeste and Only Up, in which you must escape the void.

How does your game tie into the theme?
Thematically, the game is set in the void. The platforms are sparse and only materialize as you get close, leaving you prone to plunge back down into the void. This sparsity is meant to evoke an emptyness similar to a void.

solid platformer with a fun gimmick! I really enjoyed the momentum-based mechanics and multiple paths.

The  controls needed a bit of getting used to at the beginning, but overall it is a very smooth game, feels solid, plays well.

Well done. First I ran to the right and just fell endlessly, probably something that should be prevented. Esc or restart did not work for me. I am glad I gave it another try, it is a solid platformer mechanic. Configurable controls would be great, on my keyboard it was very hard to play. The wall jump mechanic could feel better, I was hitting space a lot and did not find a smooth way to reliably climb up the walls. The art style is very cool and fits the theme and the game well.

Super cool mechanic here !

The little space guy is animated super lovely, I really like him. The game is neat and polished, I got a little frustrated after falling a few dozen times, although I think I picked the harder route so it's deserved!

Good Game. I liked the animation of the player and platforms.

The grapple mechanic elevated this from the normal jump and run. I liked the animation of the little space man. Well done.
