This game was super chill and it would've benefitted from the Death SFX being softer in some way because you'll be dying a bit if you're not careful! The momentum controls work well because in space there is no force that stops an object and the object that is given momentum stays in momentum until a given time. It works.

It is very chill and could do with an overhaul visually to look more vaporwave or lo-fi cause that's the theme and feel I'm getting with it.

Good chill game!

Charming game y'all have made. I really liked how smooth the movement was, and this was a nice fun implementation of the limitation. I found it easy to grasp and genuinely fun, also love that it had controller support.

Great work

The elvel with 90 degree angles killed me so many times but the other ones were fun! Good job

Very difficult game

Simple concept but amazing implementation

The controls are easy to lean but hard to master.

I felt that the leway given to step outside the area was kinda inconsistent? like sometimes the whole sprite is outside but the level keeps going on, other times Im barely out of it (I think it was most apparent around corners) and it'd restart the level

But The decision to restart asoon as you die without any gameover screen whatsoever was really great. It made me NOT annoyed for the times I died in level 4 xD

Id also love to see a death counter at the end screen.

Thanks so much for playing and the feedback! Per your suggestion I ended up adding a death counter last night while I was fixing the star rating animations. The collisions are definitely funky haha I'll be tinkering with those next. 🙌

0 death and 3 star all level run soon? xD

The speed and momentum of the character made it surprisingly challenging in a fun way. I enjoyed this one a lot and the end screen is cool.

Simple, but very enjoyable game ! I truly had fun and I like the controls !

This was a fun little beat the clock style game. I did run into an issue when I pressed restart after finishing once. The player couldn't move from a very small area, but besides this, I had a really great time! Would play again!

Developer

Heck yeah, glad you liked it! Thanks for the callout, I ran into that a couple times and remedied it but sounds like I didn't completely fix it 😂

Really fun and more challenging than I expected. Good job!

Ah, I loved the art and the gameplay here. I'd be curious to see how the game would play differently if the levels were even larger and went beyond the screen borders where you couldn't see the whole level at-a-glance. Super fun! Thanks for making and sharing your game!

Very cool. Got three stars in all the events. Although I feel like I cheated once I realized the corners were very forgiving. Good Job! Great music, concept, and art!

It's suuuper satisfying to get a 3-star and try to beat your own time and the game feels amazing! The only issue I had was after playing again, I got stuck in the first level outside the surf area and had to relaunch. Other than fantastic work!

It's tough to get the hang of, but once you do, it's very satisfying! Solid work!
