Thank you for all the kind words—coming from the person who demade No Man's Sky for a tweettweetjam, I want to frame this comment and put it on my wall😊

Thanks so much mate, I appreciate that! Hope all is well with you and yours!
By the way, did you play this on desktop? Did the timing of the musical loop sound okay to you? I've only tested it on my desktop and some mobile devices, and while the timing is pretty consistent on my desktop (not perfect, but passable), it's a fraction of a second out on mobile devices in a really jarring way. I'm considering rewriting it to test the native playback speed at startup and adjust animation and loop length accordingly (at the moment, it's a hardcoded 498 frames).
Edit: This is fixed in v1.1 :)
This was stunning! I appreciated all the work you put into presentation, such as the intro/ending, and that fantastic upgrade effect. This is such a cool concept—I love the way that the hops eventually start to feel like actual flight, it's genius! And I have so much respect for compelling games with non-violent themes. You nailed it!
Thanks very much! I actually considered that, but I thought given that the entire experience is continuous jumping, any sound effect could get a bit grating! And if that sound effect interrupted a music channel, it would make the soundtrack sound continually choppy and incomplete, so I decided to just keep a fuller soundtrack going constantly. I appreciate you checking it out! :)
