GG les gars, le jeu est super beau, quelques bugs dans les déplacements mais c'est pas gênant. Parfait !

Good game with good ideas. Graphics are on point with great mood. But sadly i think the physics is the real enemy here.

I abandoned the game because of the spheres. I couldn't manage to get them to there slot :(

The piano puzzle is also a great idea but waaaaaay too long. I managed to have like 6 notes in a row, and it wasn't done yet !

I would love to see a more polished / balanced and a little bit easier version of this game, which is already really cool.

Great game! Engaging in multiple mini-games in a single Jam poses a notable challenge. The physics might need some improvement, yet they substantially boost the game’s atmosphere. It brought to mind memories of Astroneer ❤️, offering a delightful touch of nostalgia. Also, it boasts a really good lifespan. Particularly challenging for me were the activatable buttons on the rocks, especially when trying to locate the part 😂. Nonetheless, a solution was found by simply returning to the starting point!

Small things I noticed:
- The music duplicates after a few minutes of gameplay

Very cute game, the vibes were lovely! I enjoyed exploring the little planet and finding some of the secrets. After a while I couldn't find anything new and was just wandering around - it might be good to have some indication of where to go next so people don't get too lost. The collectathon aspects were well done though, I'd love to see a version of the game that's a little more fleshed out and polished!

Hey there! Just played 'Le Monde de Cortex'. The vibrant graphics and the intriguing premise of a child stranded on a planet are captivating. Exploring the environment was a treat, and the idea of building a rocket adds a layer of depth. Some elements could benefit from a touch more clarity, but overall, the atmosphere and art direction are top-notch. Keep up the good work!

Fun little game, I had fun jumping around. The minigames were well implemented, though I wasn't sure what the square collectibles(?) were for? I got 3/3 but it wasn't counted as a rocket part. I also thought the piano example was a little quiet, but some trial and error got me there. Well done!

Interesting concept but the physics require a bit more polish, yet the overall feel of the game is great! The mood and graphics are on point.

Cute game! I had some trouble with some jumps but appart from that I really liked the mood and the planet design!

This was a cute little game. I will say if you bunny hop around the planet you will get to a point where you are just orbiting the planet super fast (which I think is fun but that might not be the intension)

The music and graphics and of course the aesthetics of the game as a whole are incredible! You did really nice job. Sadly the only complain that I have is that especially with the spheres I was trying to move them to the place with craters for like 20 minutes and I was unable to do it. Especially, when some times one of them would stuck on a rock or something like this. Again, given the limited time of the Jam, the result is wonderful! Keep up!

Is it possible to use ZIP instead of RAR? I don’t have WinRar and don’t want to install it just to open this one file.
Agnira

@mistercarson Yeah we know about that thing, at first, your character could launch into space and go on the sun and all so we put a border in the sky to prevent that.
We kept the jump system that could launch you into orbit because we thought it was fun and it can be usefull to move quickly across the planet (or catching the fox).

@dod108 Of course, we will add a link for those who wants a ZIP.

This game is very charming and it was fun to play around the planet while chasing the fox and pushing the spheres around. The graphics and especially the music gave the game a nice peaceful mood. I was going to play more but i got stuck between two rocks and couldn't get out. The sound effects were loud compared to the music and I jumped from them sometimes :D

I liked it. Chill exploration, light puzzles, cute aesthetics. I escaped the moon, though it was a nice place to visit, I guess I gotta get back home anyways.

^ I got stuck here in permanent falling about 3/4 through my play, unfortunately.

Good job on a fairly polished 3D platformer, must have been a lot of work! I would've loved to not have to install a C++ dependency and reboot my computer before being able to play, but I went through that hassle anyway because I was curious enough to try this one out. The art style is pretty cool, everything in the environment feels pretty cohesive except for the mushroom house and the piano. If there were mushrooms around the planet, it would have been a touch more immersive and made sense why it could be there. I was really bummed that the piano didn't seem to function properly, because I thought it was a great little puzzle. I'd also recommend not putting something with a door within reach if the player can't interact with it, but I understand the desire to add more scenery and decoration to an already somewhat-barren planet. The compounding music loops (which I know you're already aware of) became increasingly distracting and took a lot of fun out of the experience, not to mention making the music puzzle nearly impossible as time went on. Still, there's a bucket of love poured into this so I encourage you to keep that up whether you update this game or move on to the next one.

i just came here from the feedback and wanted to play it but had only the windows build. Would love to have the linux build :penguin: maybe for next game jam. So, for now i'll just give my rating based on graphics & mood category as seen from the screenshot pics. because it seems the game is made with love and passion :smile:

Very nice graphics and theme usage!

I think this game needs a little more polish on its mechanics. Sometimes it's a little tricky.

Anyway, it's a very impressive game for a 3 days jam time.

Congrats!

I miss playing mario galaxy. This game brings me back.
A small note note on game feel, when platforming on flat blocks, you can have gravity change to face down instead of radially towards the planet. Then change it back when the player runs back to the planet's surface.
Really awesome game!

Cool idea with a whole little planet. There were difficulties with the delivery of spheres.
