Please playtest my game here  This link includes the playable  build and game page with background information and controls.

This game will be a journey through our solar system all the way from the oort cloud. This playable build is just a demo, it focuses on the first level and the 3 jump mechanic.

any comments will be appreciated, i would love to discuss!

Thank you!

Hey, I just read through the page and gave the prototype a go and I wanted to say I like the concept.
I think it has the potential to be quite fun and have an interesting take on exploring the solar system!
I liked the little story about Neil and is unfortunate becoming of gifts.

After testing it for about 10 mins or so, I felt like it was quite hard to land the long jumps, maybe im just new to the runner genre but I found it quite frustrating lol maybe needs adjusting?

I hope to see more of this soon!

Thank you so much!

Yeah those jumps are a little bit tricky on the timing, i like those jumps because you have to wait a fraction longer than you are comfortable with  before pressing the jump button. but once you get the timing its easy,  but its still possible to mess up if you aren't paying attention.

Its supposed to keep you on your toes so to speak and the timing is something you have to learn but its not supposed to be flat out frustrating so ill keep an eye on that. 

Thanks again, I appreciate your feedback
