It's really rare that I get motion sickness playing a game, but this one I did, mildly \ud83d\ude01. The problem is not the goings and rolls but the rate of movement, more precisely, the difference on what brain expect (from its experience in real world) with the movement in your game.

Actually had a similar idea at first (but with completely different implementation).\n\nGraphics and audio are on point. Game-feel was great, I really felt like floating around in space. Controls were a bit cumbersome since I have an AZERTY keyboard (and forgot to switch it to QWERTY), but it was really fluid still. Puzzles were good enough for a jam project, simply moving around and picking up cucumbers felt good.\n\nIf I had to nitpick though, restarting the artificial gravity isn't very exciting for the player since the fun factor lies in the zero-G controls. Of course it is very coherent with the pitch and setting, but perhaps a tiny bit of ludonarrative dissonance would've actually helped here.\n\nGreat project overall !
