A very unique game and a fun take on the theme, I really like it! I was quite confused at first and would have liked an explanation of what to do in game rather than just the comments but overall it felt really good to play and was impressively bug-free for a 3D game, great job!
Thanks! Yea I was planning a whole short cutscene opening or at least a quick description of how to play, but, I completely ran out of time, the start menu is proof of that, I added that in the last couple minutes before the jam closed haha
I love the sarcastic comments!
cool idea but i quickly found an angle that allowed me to go infinte (at least i think so, i quit after a minute or so ^^)
I would believe it, obstacles spawn randomly across the surface of the planet and there's a limit to the number, so it would be possible for it to cap out and you to find an uninterrupted line, definitely something to modify in the future if I continue work on the project. Thanks for checking it out!
Probably the most original scenario of any game I've played so far. The terraforming mechanic is really cool and fun to play around with! I also love the voice lines, I haven't seen a lot of games do them but it adds a ton of charm. Great entry.
wow i LOVED it!! Such a unique way of controlling it. I'm glad I stumbled on this game, I saw your progress on twitter during the jam and remembered the crazy ol' vacuum :)
Well done!
Haha thanks! Glad to know my wacky concept was memorable XD
Fantastic concept! Hilarious and original!
Haha, funny game and interesting concept. Sometimes when you first load in the game without touching the terrain that "arc" on the sphere is simply empty so you can keep going like that forever.
Awesome concept, great execution! It was an edge-of-your-seat endless pressure to keep that vacuum cleaner going where you want it to go, an absolute blast! I liked how, despite the appearance of a small map, things continued to reappear and grow in quantity as the game went on. You should be really proud of this! A great interpretation of the theme. If I had any critique, it would be to make there be more encouragement to use both lowered and raised terrain. I'm not sure if there was a difference between the two, but I relied heavily on only raising the terrain. Great job!
Thank you! Yea you're right on the money with a difference between the raising and lowering terrain, they both move the vacuum differently, but, with more time the plan would have been to make them more unique!
Very creative control! If you can provide an indicator of current direction, the controls would be perfect.
I also loved the voice over, you do feel the frustration of crashing your house into trees.
Thanks! And yea and indicator of some sort is good idea, glad you liked the voice over, that was a completely random decision to add late into the second night (at which point my sanity was certainly questionable haha)
Very interesting control method! It's the sort of thing I think definitely could really go places if expanded upon!
This game makes me go YES! Very original!
Really cool game, loved the dialog haha
Super addicting game. Really well tought mechanics. Also the comments where a nice touch. Keep up the good work!
Very original game and control scheme! I feel like this would work well as a mobile game!
Great game! Super original and challenging. Definitely out of control :)
Such a smart and cool core mechanic!! Definitely try and do something with that concept, whether expanding upon this game, or using it on a new one! I really love it. Something that could be really cool is if you could use the altered terrain to quickly swipe under the player to do jumps. Overall, well done!
Haha great minds think alike, ramping the house is one feature I would have loved to implement and definitely will if I take this project any further!

I really liked this game. It's a great idea with interesting mechanics. It would be neat to see more of it. The low-poly art looks nice, and I think the voice lines and music fit very well. Nice work on it!
Thanks for taking the time to check it out!
Very fun to go around the small planet! The vacuum mechanic looks cool and is a clever idea. The low poly art looks awesome as well! Also, I like the voice over that comes out~ Great job submitting a cool game during the jam! Please check out my entry when you can :D
Thanks for checking out my game! Glad you enjoyed it!
The visuals look great! And the gameplay is very smooth, but difficult! Great game :) I like how the objects interact with the rising and lowering of the terrain.
