It’s a good game overall, but the art and sound design are just so good. Very well done!

Theme interpretation
I was inspired by Georges Méliès Movie "A trip to the Moon"

Beautiful artwork and clever mechanics. I’d suggest modifying the keymap. Space, O, and P are pretty tough to reach all at the same time if I’m using my left hand. (right for arrows). If I was supposed to use WASD for movement they didn’t work on Linux.
I want to compliment you on the smooth sprite animations too. Very well done.

Wandering WhimsyWhat a fun and interesting game to play! I liked the story of it, and it was a very suitable graphics and music in the entirety. Well done :)

MoonPunchManI loved the art and music, it was a bit hard for me to play but overall it was great! :)

Space TravelI absolutely adore the artwork here! It's such a charming style, and definitely captures that "old-timey" feeling. The game does such a lovely job of creating an experience reminiscing on the original film, down to the fun details like the stars and poofing into smoke! The mechanics were fun too. I really loved playing it.

Stardust LingersThe sound and graphics are really good! The animation style/shaders used really add to the charm of the game. The level difficulty spikes (heh!) a little hard, but I would love to see more levels with the different elements that were presented. I did mysteriously die a few times and had to reload the screen, but that wasn’t really much of an issue. Great game!

Yuna and the MoonstealersVery nice presentation (graphics and music) and clever platforming mechanics. I found some of the platforming fiddly, but it was easy to look past given the rest of the game. Good job!

Blood MoonI'm just blown away by this game. Honestly the art, the suspenseful gameplay, the small story and the art again, just made this an absolute joy to play.

Galactic HeistArt's really good. Had some graphical glitches, but nothing that affected gameplay. The mushroom growing is a cool mechanic and the whole story is nice. Music can end up being annoyingly repetitive during some sections. Overall a great entry and probably the best I've seen regarding theme interpretation.

ParalunarIf i could give 6 stars for graphics I would. music loop grated a bit.

Dr Professor Scientist, M.D.Amazing game! Excellent well balanced gameplay. Excellent visuals.
I just wish the music didn't play all the time. While very good it did get a bit monotomous after a while.
Especially when you have to try some rooms/levels more than one time to figure out the winning sequence.
Great job!

Trouble at the Dark Side of the MoonWhen I first saw the character's gif on twitter for your game I was like: "Oh a Méliès inspired game, such a lovely idea" and tbh the execution is above outstanding, it trully feels like a French mute movie

Earth's SecretsI had a great time with your game. The art was obviously amazing, along with the pacing and atmosphere. Great job!

MoonHopperthanks a lot! Well, my original idea, was, because it's a mute movie, and we used to play a music live, that every enemy, or action we do, make a musical cell that creates a whole thing together. I had the idea when I listened to a certain track by Erik Satie called Relache:finale. So, most of the sounds are recreations made in GarageBand to emulate the sound of real instruments. In the end, no time left, and it wasnt really working, so I ended up incorporate actual samples of that track, that I made loop at the same BPM so it fits together.
