A quirky space exploration "point and click" adventure. You begin on your Hōm planet with a voice in your head prompting you to explore the galaxy. But in order to achieve escape velocity, you must get your friends to love you to fill your heartpack with energy.
We originally had five planets planned, then we cut back the scope to three. We have assets for all three planets, but we only got two into the game.
All assets are original, from music to art.
Game made for Ludum Dare 38. (4/24/17)

I gave the carrots to the bunny and use the comb on the sheep, but i could not find what to do with the cat and the pond. Also when you get your jetpack upgrade it is really easy to go into space to never comeback, it makes it even harder to move around your planet, was the tail of the cat in another planet? i went to the moon but could not find anything.

I just think you lacked of code since there is a lot of bugs in the game.
I tried three times to fly to another planet with the upgraded jetpack and even seen one, but the moment you decide to go left or right in space, you're lost, camera don't follow and you might spend dozens of minutes to recover a full and calm view of your character
Another real problem is the movements of the character, in my humble opinion they need to be speed up to make your game a million times funnier !
Overall, it's all of what it lacked, art was simple but well managed and pleasant, music was nice and relaxing, and humor was quite exquisite !
I hope you'll find time to make your game better !
Good job !

The big problem was that the movement was just too buggy, unless you fly everywhere (which comes with the risk of flying off into space). The other problem was that I had to spam the interact button until I was in the right spot, which caused me to accidentally skip some of the dialogue :(
Overall not that great of a game. But hey, you always learn from your mistakes. That's what so great about Ludum Dare!
I think the main thing to focus on would be improving the controls; if the controls worked smoothly, any other problems would be much easier to address.
