Fun idea! Nice work here.

This is a fun game. Love the fysics but I think it would be cool if there was a bit of gravity on the meteors.

Hee-ho. Very cool game. I like it. Thanks for good experience

the game is really nice and the player character is cute i liked it and nice art there!

Amazing work! The game is both fun and visually stunning. You’ve created something that feels fresh and exciting—great job!

Pretty neat and different. Super challenging at times. Im mad at myself. Died a million times with zero crystals then I finally got to 200 and saw the shop...died. I would jump to a meteor and it would kill me sometimes. Not quite sure when im allowed and when im not allowed to jump to a meteor.

This is a truly fun and unique experience, and I can easily envision it as a full game. It reminds me of a game I used to play when I first got into game development—Sunburn. Congratulations on this entry! What I appreciate most is how the novelty enhances the fun rather than interfering with it.

I think there should be a way to recover somehow from a bad jump, the game is really hard. I love the mechanic of the rocks sucking up some of the momentum though, good job on the concept for sure!

Submitted

Really fun concept, the movement is quite original and I think it could be expanded into something really cool !

But I think it is a bit too hard at the moment, especially at the start when you try to understand the controls, as any jump can lead you to death. I kept thinking the double jump would send me in the other direction, having a visual indication could maybe help for that. Maybe having a health system would solve it simply, as it would allow for error without having to restart the game every time.
However it got pretty pleasant once I got the hang of the controls. Well done :)

Solid and creative experience, I loved the sound effects accuracy and the mood they give. Robot physics feel really nice and that jump mechanic seems interesting to be scaled up! 

Great job dude, crabbed hughs! ;)

Good game although the meteors could spawn faster and the character hit box with collision between two asteroids. Overall great concept for a game.

Submitted

nice sounds, look and animations. Would enjoy if the meteors spawned faster at the start as once you know how to play you're waiting a bit, but its very fun!

Mr Krabs collecting money in the year 3024. Very fun.

What was my favorite moment(s) in the game?
I really loved the unique (at least to me) movement and mining mechanic. I love physics games and this one hits me just right. The graphics is very good for a game of this scope. It gets idea across easily and does not distract from the experience at all. I liked the shop also since it gave me a reason to keep playing and gathering more minerals. The sound design is really good to, gives a nice feedback to actions.

What would I change about the game?
I personally thought it can become frustrating when there are no more meteors on the screen and I have no where to go to. Since it is random, some runs this is expected, but it was happening more often than I would have liked. Another thing I didn't like was that it was difficult to go to a shop and even when I did manage to get to a shop and buy some stuff, quitting afterwards made me float in space without any way to go to a nearby meteor.

Overall, I think this is a really good new concept and just needs some little balancing changes.
