The art and the athmosphere is beautiful and it makes it feel like you're in a dream :)

Excellent vibes.  It's all so well put together and the music/sfx add so much to the atmosphere.

I love the relaxing music and the way the sound effects (diving, clouds etc) blend into the track creating a great atmospheric experience! The parallax scrolling works very well with the minimalist visuals! Well done!  

Developer

Thank you! Atmosphere was my #1 goal, in both senses of the word :)

Honestly, I was completely immersed in your sound effects. Every time I clicked the mouse and heard that sound, I felt like I was truly exploring an unknown planet. It was such an immersive experience—fantastic work!

Developer

Yay! I recorded seven different versions of the dive sound to use randomly (plus seven different versions of the stop-dive sound) that all use the same notes with a slightly different touch in how they're played, in the hopes that it would feel alive and fresh every time despite that it's the same chord over and over.

Your games are always so poetic! The art is beautiful and I'm also impressed by the audio as it must have been hard to set this right!  Good unique entry!

Thank you! Out of art, code, and audio, I have the most experience in audio, so I can work quickly and afford to be extremely picky about how I want things. I'm glad it shows, cuz I'm trying to make use of my strengths in this gamedev thing :)

Really good original graphics and audio, those lighting clouds look sick!

Developer

I'm glad you appreciate the lightning clouds because I was already way over 3 hours but I just HAD to have them. Jupiter's stormy atmosphere apparently has a lot of lightning!

really like the atmosphere - felt really comforting in a way :)

Thank you! I imagine Jupiter is a big ol' hug of a planet.

Very cool and different entry! I love the artwork combined with the music; it really gives you a good feel!

I would almost slow the framerate/camera down some to make it even more elegant than it already does.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I agree that the movement feel could still use tuning. I'm afraid to touch it in the near term, given how long I spent tweaking the vector math on the dive and on the storms to make the vortices be escapable without being so weak as to be ignorable.

Insane! Great music and love the music changes when pressing the buttons and awesome mechanics!!

Developer

Thank you! I had fun making it!
