For a first game, this is some very, very good work! The puzzles are solid and the idea is highly creative. You could work on making your movement more snappy and add in a zoom in/out fearure. Also, switching between planets would have been nicer if you could do it by the press of a single button instead of having to open another menu.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Working on a new planet switching system that won't obscure the vision and some extra levels! The zooming idea is also awesome and will definitely get on that.

Nice game, perfectly fit the theme. But platforming feeling not that great.

Developer

What do you think will make the platforming feel better?

Little tips like coyote time. You can see much of them here https://gmtk.itch.io/platformer-toolkit . I'm not best explainer with not best English.

Awesome game. SO MUCH POTENTIAL.

I loved it. Great work.

I have some nitpicks, but only because it was great.

- I didn't interact with any switch for so long, but the time I got to one I couldn't remember what button to press.
- I could go through the portals without having to hit switches.
- I wish there was a shortcut to jump words. Especially for the levels where you had to do a mid jump switch. The planet screen obscured the player.
- Some levels you'd be punished if you went to the wrong world with no way of knowing if it was the right one. Maybe a hint for what world, or make all worlds at least have a way to get back to the main world.

- Was there a Candle?

Anyway, I think this is a great game. I hope you keep working on it.

Glad you enjoyed my bug-infested game haha, recently updated it with lots of bug fixes if you wish to try it again. Got a new system for planet switching in development as we speak so that it won't obscure the screen along with some solid quality of life improvements.
