Three astronauts have been sent to the "Connected Worlds", the three moons of Ersatz-4, to study the special properties of their moonstone; this ore can be present in multiple places at the same time, but disturbing it causes its other instances to collapse. The three parties must work in tandem to prevent their mutual downfall.

I finished pretty much everything i set out to do with the game but fell out of love with the mechanic halfway through, which is why it ended up so short. I wouldn't say i'm disappointed with the result, but i do hope other people find it more interesting than i do.

Thanks for playing!

Pretty great. Nice use of the theme. I wish the controls felt a little more crisp in terms, and same goes for collision. But really a great game for the 48 hour contest.

Cute characters and nice dialogues. I found jumping pretty difficult, but overall it's a decent entry.

Cool little game, nice idea. As others have said the controls could do with some polish.

Good idea, but the controls and collision detection would have needed some extra attention. The platforms for the other astronauts often dissapeared when I only touched them from the side, making it a bit frustrating.

Great concept and good use of the theme. Somewhat difficult with keyboard controls.

Jumping was really difficult which seems weird since its outer space. I feel like I should be floating a bit more. Aside from that, interesting idea.

So tough! Nice fitting the theme with this mechanic.

Hi there. Liked the 3 worlds and conversation between the astronauts. Found the platform physics a bit glitchy.

I really like this game. Great use of the theme. I think some might think the audio is grating; I thought it was really charming. Collision and controls could use some work, but I really like how each successive astronaut has to traverse a slightly more difficult version of the puzzle. Great job.
