Theme interpretation
We set our game among the moons of Saturn and made travelling from moon to moon (ie, shooting for a moon) a gameplay element.
Also, your primary goal to earn a lot from very little - taking a great risk for a great reward.
Really cool and immersive experience! I like many aspects of the game, the theme interpretation, the relaxing pace together with the variety of music styles (love the cat tune one) also the emails feature is awesome.
It would be nice to have lateral rocket thrust too, together with the frontal and rear ones will give the player total control of the ship.
I love the concept! Great job!
Wow, amazing gem, really loved the music and sound design, the mechanics of trading are simple but interesting, and the hand painted cats are totally <3 <3 Also the scale of the planet travels feels very real. Kudos!
Nice graphics and music :-)
As other stated, the pace is a bit too slow, but that should be easy to fix
Really liked your game.
The theme enterpretation, music and art design are beautifull.
Maybe the game in need for some changes. Faster ship? Additional Interaction on planets? Additional activities on the fly?
The fly from moon to moon is a bit slow, player can get tired from it. Be better to reward him on every points of his track?
The theme is gold and the music is just beautiful. You even have several genres there to make long-distance travel enjoyable.
Loved it! Very charming cat theme, which kept me well entertained despite the long travel distances. I think your idea of the emails being read out would have been really nice, though some kind of side activity or something cool to look at would have done the same trick. Great soundtrack too, had me bopping my head to it :)
This game has a lot of character. The intro art was amazing. I enjoyed looking for crates/boxes during my travel between trading posts. Well done.
If you like platformers, please try our game.
The premise is so cute, and I love the art for the intro sequence and title/pause screen. The sellers also have amazingly charming and cute models, my favorite is the little black puffball of a kitty. The emails are also nice to read when they pop in. I agree with others that the travel time between the different moons feel too long, it ends up hindering the gameplay since there are long stretches of just waiting to arrive. If it wasn't for that, it would be purrfect.
Thanks for the feedback, we're glad you liked it! The black cat is based on our own naughty housemate ;D
We were talking about the game more last night and realised we could have had the emails being read out to you during the long travel sequences! The recordings are already in the game and everything! Oh well, next time...
I must say, the cat theme is amazing, all the different types of cat sellers made me laugh hard haha
The navigation took some time to get used to, i got to max speed, and then it was really hard to turn around.
Very nice intro :D
On my Linux I run Win version throught the Wine, but there were glitches, I didn't see any text, so I didn't know what to do :( In general, I like the matching of sound and graphics, gameplay. "Elite" style?
I only have a Mac, wish there was a mac build or a WebGL build :( Artwork looks really cool would love to try it.
Cute game! The music is really great, it will stay in my head for a few hours xD
I just found the travel time between moon a little longer that thez should have been. I would have continue to play if it wasn't for this.
I enjoyed playing it!
The art is so pretty, each shop with the 3d renders of the cats left me in absolute awe.
The music also fits the game so well and the atmosphere / backstory is really cute.
This game definitely has a unique vibe to it :)
Only complaint would be that the planets are a bit too far from each other and since space is being space, there is not much to do in the void (the mails are a cool addition though, more of it would have been nice).
Thanks so much for the feedback, we're glad you like it!
We were super attached to keeping "realistic" distances between the moons and couldn't let it go but never found a way to make it as fun as it needed to be :p We racked our brains trying to think of ways to keep the space travel interesting but didn't have much luck - it's a big chunk of the game so definitely needed more polish!
I became so invested in reuniting these cats that I absolutely HAD to finish the game. The design of the cats in the shops were so cute too. The best thing though, had to be the theme that would start playing when you're flying between stations. It actually had me grooving along to it.
