That was super cool, I had a lot of fun with it, although it was quite short. That was absolutely no problem :)

I really liked the visual representation of the theme here; your failures having a visible change to the game world is an extremely good effect while ALSO giving letting you mark a sort of safe path through the clouds. Also really liked the sun drop mechanic here; it still pushed you towards that one, perfect hitless run while remaining true to the limitation. Fantastic work!!

Wax WingsHey, just wanted to say I'm loving the gamepage - it really sets the vibe and gets you pumped up before starting the game! And big shoutout to much peachysam for the awesome soundtrack - it was so upbeat and fitting! The game itself was super cute and simple, which made it really relaxing to play - I wasn't getting too frustrated or anything. In the end, I managed to get 10 sun drops in 236 time - not too shabby, considering I made a few mistakes along the way. All in all, great job on the game!

Running HotReally well implemented idea for the concept.
Also the music is pretty cool I gotta say.

Sunshine by ForceI love the amount of vines that end up all over the screen, it looks like some kind of Lovecraftian horror
Submitted
Dead DesertI loved the style and the concept, sometimes it bugs and the flower is gone for a bit, but overall I enjoyed it very much :D

ApocalypstarThe game is great, I like how there is a small cloud gap at the start between two sundrops, so you can get them in your first try, on second try you can get up to 4 if you avoid getting hit and only finishing the half of the sundrop(that needs some petals?). On 3rd try you can finish the sundrop at the start and probably get to the 6th one. Also if you avoid getting hit you can reach the end on the 6th sundrop. Needless to say the artstyle looked really cool, especially the effects on the clouds. The design is great, taking in count that there is a timer i might assume it was meant to be completed as fast as possible, so yeah I did exactly that and my best score was 87 seconds.

SolarCardVery sick game, art style was really vibrant and I loved the affect of reaching the top makes it get darker and darker, my only suggestion wouldve been to make each playthrough unique, such as generating random maps, however the overall product is very good, steering mechanics worked very well, reminded me of some rage games where people would get trapped and have to start all over again, great job!

Eternal PossessionReally enjoyable game, my favourite of the jam so far. The only thing I didn't like was that higher up I felt like I was spending more time traveling to where I just was, rather than actually playing the game, but was still very fun :D
Submitted
A Solar Trip: Rock DestructionA nice take on the classic Snake-type formula. I really enjoyed the steering controls, and the graphical effects were very cool.
Submitted
Bad SunriseA simple and original concept. I like the aesthetic. The music fits the game very well. Also love how the dead flowers remain, it's very satisfying.
Submitted
Son of SunGreat concept! The aesthetic is great, the movement feels really good, it's challenging but not impossible and it's super satisfying seeing the mess of vines left behind from previous playthroughs. Awesome job!
Submitted
Solar PunksThe feeling of this game is great! Good music, engaging visuals, and the movement is satisfying to pull off but not too harsh on mistakes! I love it.
Submitted
PhotoresynthesisI really like the style of the game, very chill! It's a nice touch, that you can see your preious attempts!
Submitted
