Well done, unique graphics, fun gameplay, fun audio but in my opinion not really "running" out of space, I mean yeah you are "running" out of space with your rocket but yeah... XD.
Liked it a lot.

I'm giving you a five stars on audio, great work!
The float-y motion of the spaceship was really well executed and I actually had a real blast (pun intended).
Maybe a mini-map showing the destination could have been nicer but then again trying to map out the level and find the finish helped to get better at controlling the ship.
Great work, really fun game!

I really liked this game!
I beat all the levels, the 3rd one was crazy. After that it was more about betting for a direction to hope earth be that way.
I really loved the graphics, both the hand-drawn animated visuals and the halos that represented the planet's gravity.
I loved the cute sound effects.
I got very pleasantly surprised with the level design!

Its fun, i love the cute faces everything has. It doesn't follow the theme that well but other than that great game.

I think the smiles from all the planets are contagious! Loved how personal this game felt, with all the hand drawn looking objects and voice recorded sound effects. Played it all the way though. Nice job!

This game is just so charming that any gameplay problems wouldn't matter... but yet the gameplay's pretty good!

Loved the sound effects and overall style. I definitely prefer this over 8-bit.

Level design was nice. Game was a bit short though.

one person's haven is another person's hell. cute little game but the smiling things were unsettling.

I quite like the art style! I love the fact that the rocket is affected by the planet’s gravity. The music ended up being quite repetitive, though.

Great work!

The rocket ship should have had legs.... thats my only complaint, besides that full marks. it was funny, creative, and it worked well and unique among the other themed games.

This was fun, if a bit infuriating! I have to brag that I did manage to beat all the levels. The cutesy graphics and sounds made me feel like I was being mocked by the game at times :)

I liked the exploration aspect - it worked well! Gravity mechanic was also nice, as was the homemade sounds. Needs an extra mechanic to really sing, but it's very solid for a weekend's work.
