This is a beautiful game. The music and everything works. It is just punishingly hard! The jumping mechanics take a little time to get and even after playing a couple times I still can't control it well enough to make any progress. My record is 1.

I suck though, so take that into consideration!

Beautiful game, but I don't like the way you have to time your jumps to the way he bounces while walking. It makes the game unnecessarily hard.

It looks and sounds very good but it is very very hard to pick up on the mechanics right away. After a little while of playing how ever it can get slightly easier.

It's a shame I can't rate this on audio, because it's excellent.

Nice pics, the music really fits the mood, (feels so sad D:) but it's a cool twist on the normal infinite runners.

The game is very pretty and atmospheric, but the controls are just too unreliable for me. Getting the timing right is far too difficult. :(

Clever idea, and the music was very fitting. I really enjoyed the art of the planet.
The jumping mechanic really needs some work though - That combined with the bouncing as he walks makes the game frustrating instead of fun.

Good job with the game overall! If you clean up the jumping mechanics, this would actually make a really nice mobile game, if you're into that kind of thing.

Very pretty, once I figured out the jumping it was fun too!

Good job anyway :D

WOW! Beautiful game. The mood is so perfect. The graphics are all so stylish, and the music is thoughtful and soothing. I like the idea of the gameplay a lot, but it was hard for me to time the jumps correctly, so I never got above a score of 4 or 5. And I like the name of the game too, though it reminds me of my favorite travel book series, Lonely Planet... Hmm, wonder why. Anyway, I adore this game. And it works fine in Chrome for me. What's the font you used for the non-logo text?

Such an amazing art style! Awesome. With some more polishing you could easily publish this to the mobile market!

I like the art and the music, but the gameplay is quite clunky, the jump doesn't work as expected, I couldn't figure out how to leap even one star.

Very nice, but the jump is pretty hard to handle sadly. I tried many times but its hard to managed to jump perfectly with the good timing :)
Very cool experience
Best score : 9

Awesome artwork and nice simple music. Wasn't entirely sure how to control my guy jumping, though, as he seemed to have a windup animation that never seemed to play, or at least, not in connection to the actual jump. Jump height also seemed to be more related to how quickly you pressed the buttons in succession rather than, say, holding the button down.

Music and Artwork in this game are incredible, as well as the mood they create :)

Nice art and mood, but I couldn`t understand how I should jump not to collide with stars. Controls seem rather strange to me

love the concept. I found it a bit difficult and had to try a few games before I figured out that they spawn behind where you are and to jump to spwan them high. nice work

Very weird mechanic for the jumping I wasn't 100% clear that you keep rapidly pressing the spacebar to jump higher....I though the icon meant hold the spacebar

Other than that minor critic the game is beautiful and well polished. Superb job!
