I loved the visuals! Also, great book recommandation, but I believe the book is only called "Der Astronaut" in German, it's actual name is "Project Hail Mary" :D

I did look really promising but the controls are too frustrating for me. I found myself turning the camera at the beginning of every level so it would correspond with the direction of the movement. This connected to the fact that you die very easily and quickly, meant I had to turn the camera constantly after every death. Very frustrating.
Reminds me of VVVVVV, but the lack of checkpoints makes it more frustrating than fun. What's the point of speedrun mechanics if I can't even beat it? A checkpoint at maybe level 5 would have cut down the frustration a lot.
I'm sorry, my initial enthusiasm was just completely wrecked by this games difficulty. I guess the difficulty is intentional though so maybe it's just not for me. Still, I see a lot of potential here and it's overall a very well crafted and polished platformer. I'm just sad I'm too much of a noob to enjoy it :(
Love the graphics and the colours! I think a highscore system would've been great but it's still a lot of fun. I don't know if it's intentional but when you're standing right next to a platform and are pressing jump multiple times you get catapulted into the air, it's kinda fun but it also seems to mess up the camera a bit.
