I really like the orbiting interpretation of the theme. The sounds were also really nice and unintrusive and the aesthetics fit well. I feel like the game is more just a game with a timer slapped on it rather than a game made for speedrunning but other than that the gameplay is simple and fun!

Challenging, but i made it through in 3:30 ^^
Cool interpretation of the theme. Good work!
I got a 1:54:31. It seems like the optimal strategy to shove all but one planet into a corner and use one to collect the pickups. But hey, maybe it's faster to use them all somehow. Still, I had a good time with it!
Wow nice time! I had tried to do this during development but was always too much of a rush to get the other planets out of the way, looks like I didn’t try hard enough! ;) I still think there’s an optimal way with all planets, not sure if that will be any faster than this though! Maybe if I update the game post jam I may have some static planets and one or two you can move, might make for more interesting gameplay. Thanks for playing!
Not sure if this is the intended way, but I found a personal strategy:
I launch the ship very weakly, remove all the planets except the blue one, and then use it to steer the ship across the whole screen. 😄

Awesome! Great approach :) Speed run wise, my thoughts were that the fastest way would be starting fast, building up momentum and then carrying that over to the next planets and kind of ‘catching’ it so it swings around that planet, gets the star and straight onto the next, so you could just whizz the rocket around catching the stars for a near perfect run, after a fair bit of practice! But yeah, though I feel like it’s possible, I am not yet able to do it haha. Thanks for playing! :)
Nice game, may be a bit difficult, but good job, could you try mine? thanks!
Kind of hard to play, but it looks good and feels fun to play. Good work! :)
Nice idea and very fun. Was pretty challenging but that's definitely not a bad thing, it was fun to try and find the right angle.
Works quite well and is a really good interpretation of the theme, but it was extremely difficult and challenging. But that's not generally a negative point in my opinion.
