Theme interpretation
Reaching the moon is a truly ambitious project. We certainly need to aim high and think out of the box to achieve that. Or we can just take the stairs.

Great game with innovative and creative theme interpretation! Wonder where was a source of your inspiration... It's challenging, but sometimes even frustrating. If you would ever make a full version of this game, would you add a hint system or a step back button? Thanks for showing the world your idea!
I finished it! It was really enjoyable :D
Felt like an 80s game haha nice vibe, the gameplay was easy to understand, but quite challenging, which indicates a good game design :)
Well done!
Perfect man! Just a great example how graphics are not necessary to make a cool game! Find out below how I finished it!

That's really awesome! Good job on the last level, I didn't expect it to be finished that fast :)
Wow what an amazing game! A really unique text adventure that had me hooked the entire time. Couldn't make it to the finish, one of the later satellite stages was a bit too hard and I gave up after several tries :(
Really awesome concept and execution. The different block types have so much personality to them, and somehow in my head they looked exactly right. @ for clouds and # for satellites was brilliant, same for the ones from the screenshot that I wasn't able to reach myself! Using colors on top was a nice touch as well.
The gameplay itself was addictive and has that "1 more try" quality to it! Sometimes it was a bit hard to plan where your stairs will go, but that's the kind of skill I expect to get better at the more I play. The difficulty curve felt pretty good and well thought out, slowly introducing new concepts and making it harder each time. The quick time-to-completion for each level also made it easy and painless to reset if you got it wrong. And the text on the side to add context to everything was the cherry on top. Really made the universe feel alive and got me invested in trying to do well!
Awesome work! Thanks for the unique experience :)
Wow! Thanks for the really comprehensive review, that means a lot to me. I hope you can try it again sometimes and reach the ending.
Surprisingly fun although I couldn't beat level 3 so I may not be very good at it :D
Thanks! I hoped you could see the ending :)
Now that I know it's possible to beat level 3 I'm going to keep trying until I get to the end ;D
Wow! I really enjoy it! Simple, great music atmosphere, matching with the theme and cool puzzle mechanics. Great job!
PS: I made it through the end, I’ve attached the proof…but just the text, I didn’t want to spoil the final awesome art!
Good job! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
Great innovative puzzles! I really like each of the new mechanics, especially the portal. I do wish there were one or two more levels for each mechanic.
The text based art style worked great too. Nice!
Thanks for the review! I really wanted to make it longer and actually had a few more ideas, but unfortunately I started working on it a bit late so I didn't have enough. I might add a few levels later though!
When I first saw javascript text based game. I didn't really know what too expect haha. But I was pleasantly surprised! Really solid possible design and special reasoning. Love the clouds spawning, started to get challenging when the moving #s came into the picture. Really well done!
Would love it if you check out my game, Moon Blob when you play some =)! https://avatar-nick.itch.io/moon-blob
Really cool puzzles! and the ascii graphics work well here, good job!
I loved it!
Now this is a puzzle game I can get into! Very well done!
Perfectly entertaining yet challenging. The ending was the cherry on top.
This is awesome! I love the sheer simplicity of it, it seems to be absolutely fail proof. Utmost simplicity with a fun logical maze-puzzle feel to it, I say perfect.
