How does your game fit the theme?
The world loops upon itself like a pacman game. It also has orbital gravity mechanics that "loop" you around. There's also tons of circles in the designs.

I like the slingshot mechanics and the cool upgrade you get at the end. I wish that you didn’t collide with stuff when you’re charging your shot.

This is a pretty nice game but there are a few issues. You can just drag yourself directly onto a starpod which bypasses most of the challenge. The camera also move erratically when you start dragging which sometimes moves you into a spike. 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, yeah camera jank is my number one thing I wish I had time to fix. Hope you had some fun regardless :)

Nice little game ! The bounces are satisfying :) Don't know if it's an intended feature but you can directly drag the player into circles and keys '^^

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it a bit! I considered limiting the drag distance to prevent cheating like that, but I though it was more fun to be able to launch really fast :D

There’s actually a secret message if you try to touch Cool Star this way, before you unlock all the locks!

this plays really well!  the mechanics feel smooth and I love the respect for the player's time by teleporting you to a checkpoint when you get a key so you dont have to backtrack. 

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! I very much try to keep things simple and quick so I'm glad you appreciated it
