caelique by Rother Games
After a long time of humanity putting satellites, rockets and other things into space, they eventually had to run out of space.
You will play an astronaut on a mission to get through all of that space junk. On your way you will encounter a special type of gravity.
Your little astronaut can be affected by the gravity of different colored Blobs and you will be able to control, which one is activated at the moment.
Have Fun jumping through our levels and good luck for escaping!

To follow the idea more there should be a lots of trash in space to attach the rope to.
Things to improve
- visibility of the goal - when its off the screen I dunno where to go.
- "sponginess" of movement (bit more inertia, player model momentum and centrifugal force would be nice)
- main hero animations
- map on M not ESC :wink:
- controls info - no clue that A moves the guy, and ENTER leaves intro screen.
Really liked the mechanism of the game, also well made!
It took a while to figure out what I was supposed to do, but it clicked eventually.
The movement was super well done, it felt so "natural"!
I didn't see the relation to the theme so much, only that it's in Space. And the graphics & sound could have some improvement.
But overall this is an amazing and super fun game. My only complain is that first time around I accidentally closed the game by pressing escape twice, and the second time around, I crashed the game while alt-tabbing to write this review!
here are the details maybe it will help you debug it
at least there s an error message
error invalid memory access

I'm using windows 10 x64, text me if you fix it so I can give it another try
The art style is great and really pleasant to look at and the UI elements fit it nicely. The UX could be a bit clearer in the beginning, but I picked up fast enough on the mechanics to figure out how to actually play it. Despite the fact that the theme is applied more literally and influences the setting and story more than the mechanics, I still think it is incorporated well enough to be applicable. well done!
