This is an utterly amazing game I love the simple vector art style, and the soundtrack as well. The story is very interesting as well. I know some people would complain about the graphics being too simple or it not being long enough but I think that's part of the charm of this game. Also this game was made in Python which is pretty cool, anyone who knows anything about programming will find that impressive, and it also means that this game should have excellent modding support, perhaps even officially via the Steam workshop.
If the game looks interesting to you I highly recommend checking it out since it's a Free game after all, at least at the time of writing this.

Wonderful game! Love the musics, the graphics and the shaders effects. The simple story and sometimes abstract meanings caught me from the start :)

A fantastic and somewhat difficult little platformer!
Although the artstyle is quite simple at first glance it still shows a lot of intricacy and variety throughout the game. Each area has a distinct colour palette and special flourishes that makes them easily distinguishable. Additionally in each of them are landmarks that work decently well for orientation purposes.
Conveying the atmosphere of being in space very well is the music, which is also quite memorable and grand in small ways much like the visuals.
Having equal variety to the areas is the gameplay. While platforming is clearly the main focus, there are also other elements such as a few instances of dialogue choices, puzzles and an entire mini-game with a few varieties.
There is a gradual rise in difficulty regarding the platforming with a few different types of obstacles being introduced one after the other before showing up in combinations. Though I do find that checkpoints could have been placed a bit more liberally during some of the longer stretches towards the end of the game, they are generally spaced apart very fairly. If a little frustration arises I suggest simply splitting the game into two or three sessions instead of trying to get through it all at once.
The written dialogue covers only a part of the story, which some of it being possible to infer through the environment and context clues. Thus a story is present and explained enough to be coherent with a good amount of room for interpretation.
Looking at the big picture this is a very solid platformer ending with a challenging but fair difficulty, striking presentation if you give it a chance and an interesting narrative to round it out. It’s not too long and it’s free making it an easy recommendation!
