Likes:
- acid soundtrack (a bit *very avant-garde*, but still cool!)
- super cool trippy graphics
- when you jump it really feels like you're getting high up in space
- nice choice of colours and light
Try differently:
- somehow my own controls on the spheres seem limited, maybe a gimbal lock issue?
- I want to get to the big sphere so much, but the game is actually challenging!
Overall:
- lovin the neon pastel trippy glow of this.
- the galaxy "sphere" looks nice, too!
