This is really cute, but unfortunately it was too tough for me to get a handle on the controls, they didn't always work the way I expected. I was kind of making a sine wave at one point and I don't know why. It would also help if I could tell how close I was to the ground a little sooner (skyscrapers? mountains? trees maybe?)

I really enjoyed playing the game. You've created a super cool, interesting visual style with a fun gameplay loop. The controls took a bit of time to acclimate to, but the the game is overall very fun to play once you get the controls down.

It's A Trash GameI love the overall aesthetic of the game!
Though it seems there is some kind of parallax on the background that I would remove ^^
The controls requires precision and patience to get used to, it's not my type of game but I think some people loves it!
Good job!

MotionLoopHello! The game was nice and simple. It took me a few tries to get the hang of the controls and not launch myself into the stratosphere, but after a few I was able to get the hang of it. The art was nice and simple, but the grid background can be a bit much when you are zooming around, though that's just me being nitpicky. I think the one thing the game could use is some type of indicator of the closest star. It didn't happen a lot, but a few times I'd lose control and zoom off, getting lost in the void. Overall, it's a nice, simple game, and I enjoyed playing it. Great work!

Never Stop Waking UpThe game is very cute, interesting, and challenging. I really enjoyed the planetary gravity mechanic.
However, I’d love to see an increased camera range in future versions. I often lost because I couldn’t see where I was going, and I wasn’t able to complete the final level because of that.
That said, I still found the game very enjoyable overall. Great work!
