One of the funnest games I've played in the Jam.. Very nice use of the theme and really fun level of difficulty!

This precision platformer had me addicted. I do wish that the character movement was slower and more controllable. The game was difficult but after numerous attempts in each area, I was able to utilize my muscle memory for the challenges. I do agree with the other commenters suggestion of more check points.

Nicely done piece of game. For me, it's too challenging to handle reversed jumps. I would consider more checkpoints.

Everything about the game is nice and I was able to learn how to make the background immersive by making the closest planets move quicker while the further ones (like the tiny stars) are stationary

Great visuals and simple, easy to understand mechanic. I had fun playing through this one! Thanks for making and sharing it, and it was great to check out your stream the other day where you played a few others!

This game is really well done,  I love the parallax background, music, and little planet with a smiley face

nice controls and mechanics, and the number of levels is pretty impressive! the platforming is good but can be frustrating sometimes (i feel that more generous checkpoint could help).

also i like the background art.

also also remapping??! wtf congrats

very good one. passed even quite much as for my lack of skills tbh (generally i fail in 1.2 level in mario, so like…)

(didn't got to the end tho, started failing in this place with inverting in air was after a disappearing platform tbh) 

audio good, graphics good, what else can say… good one :D

Very polished game, maybe a bit too difficult sometimes but the platformer fan in my heart likes it :)

Very cute and challenging platformer. I like the frog in space theme :).

The control remapping really helped.

I can see some VVVVVV and Celeste influence with the mechanics and the fluidity of controls. Also I wasn't expecting some puzzle mechanics but it worked. Good job!

Very smooth and satisficing controls, awesome main mechanic, funny character, beautiful background, nice challenges. Awesome game! Only possible downside might be that the levels became too hard too fast but that might just be my skill issue. I really liked it :D

Yo this is fire! Super polished, and the art style is so clean. I’m obsessed with the croak animations 🐸. SFX and music? Perfect combo. That reverse gravity gave major Terraria gravity potion vibes, such a cool touch. Mad props!
