Thanks. You can anytime return on the planet by switching the transition again (X button) :)
Nice work here! I'm not fond of the controls (the "left/right = rotation" kind of controls), but the concept works fine :)
Please add alternative controls for foreign keyboards (qwerty vs azerty)!
Good fun, I liked the central mechanic and found it quite addictive. Got a bit samey after a while but can see good potential for extra stages, etc.
It's funny, but the transition move can cause confusion, because the player jumps out of screen. All other, is cool. Good work!
As mentioned, having to press a button to respawn is confusing to begin with. Figuring that out though, made the game really fun. Good job.
Pretty neat once you figure out you can switch transitions. Would have liked a more interesting score system, but otherwise fun.
even though there wasn't much graphics they still looked amazing.
Would have been awesome if you could move left and right when translating as you can do once you press x again once your in a translation. Also could send the player back once they hit the edge of the screen.
fun little game though!
Simple but nice graphics. Bit repeative but very well done and flying around playing with gravity was fun.
Fun, compact submission. Some driving music would have drawn the user in a little more-- try to cram that in next time :).
Cool but very unpolished, with no handling for falling off the edge of the map and occasional collision glitches. Lovely simple game with lovely graphics though
Interesting Idea, I liked how you got extra lives from the white circles. I got frustrated because the enemy ship unexpectedly killed me in one shot when I had 10 lives.
Really smart concept; it's great fun! Though I skimmed the planet a few times when it should have collided. Other than that, it's sweet.
That's a pretty hard game! But very simple. It's easy to figure out what you should do, quickly. I would suggest that when you fly off the screen you come back automatically, because right now there's actually gameplay off the screen -- the enemy shoots at you but you can't really see what's going on.
I like the idea and the look but I had some problems controlling the character, sometimes he'd carry on moving after I'd let go, sometimes he stop responding to keypresses :(
Fun little game.
I didn't know that X could save you from floating out in space though.
It was quite fun. Some few more mechanics would have made it more addicting, but I loved the graphics style.
It takes a bit of getting used to, but it's pretty fun! Good job! Graphics are stylish as well.
What a cool idea! And very well executed too. You had a very good balance between easy and difficult.
This is a cool idea. The way you moved between planets was cool, although I felt it was so hard that it would cause too much frustration. Jumping to get the items was very entertaining.
Very slick! I like the whole idea of hopping between planets and I felt the mounting difficulty was nicely balanced. I also noticed that you can kind of angle/distory the vector of your return from switching transition if you hold left or right- it's a lot of fun to grab the lives this way, and it's also really fun to use it to go back and forth mid-jump to evade the enemy fire.
Presentation was nice and audio was sufficient. Arcade-y and fun!
I liked this a lot. I think running round on tiny planets is a great concept that I never get tired of. Only thing is that it's frustrating when I fly off the screen and nothing happens.
Quite cool! Nice and original, and fun to play. One suggestion would be to display the player's final score on the "game over" screen, because otherwise you just have to remember :)

This was an interesting game. A couple times I flew off the screen and just disappeared. I'm not sure how to win?
Dodging by changing gravity was a cool concept.
