Fun game, but it might go well with a quick description regarding what to do - I spent a few rounds just clicking the barrels as soon as they appeared, thinking I had to collect them all.
It took a little to understand how to play but eventually I got a hold of it. I really enjoyed the graphics and the audio the most! It was fairly challenging to get to the other barrels. Good job!
Unique game for sure! I found it a bit difficult to understand if the barrell I was aiming for was moving, or if it was the austronaut that moved sideways in the air. Some kind of feedback, or reference graphics would have been nice. But overall, a good game!
This reminds me of that time over years ago when I threw my SNES controller against the wall!! Your music soothed me, and the frustration didn't build to that level. Your world is siiick
Hey, cool game man. I got to 459 before I missed one :) (on the third try). It feels good once you get a hang of it. I think some variety in speed and size of barrels would be a nice improvement. Also the planets were pretty cool!
Very nice little game - the mechanic is easy to understand and the gameplay was quite fun from the beginning. On the top of that music and sound effects were nice. Good work.
I really enjoyed the mood that the game conveyed. This reminded me very much of all those Donkey Kong Country levels. I did like those, so this hit some nostalgia points for me. I also liked the plants going by in the background. I made it about 200 (meters? Feet? space units?) before missing a barrel and plummeting back to Earth.
Suggestions: The hitboxes seemed a little strange. The were forgiving, but maybe a little too much. Some variation in the barrels would have been nice too. Some that move linear, some that move more quickly, in a circle, quadratic lerp, etc.
Graphics are nice and clear, gameplay easy to pick up, and I like that it's quick to restart. I found myself wanting a little more variation, and ended up taking risks that caused me to miss. Your take on the theme is a little bit of a stretch, but nice and quirky.
Cute little game, I wish there was a bit more variety in the barrel types / jumps / angles, etc etc. It was interesting to see the various stellar objects in the background, a little motivation to try to get further :)

Good job, and nice entry! :D
Keep making games!
But this is unique! Really lovely game. The graphics are pleasing and the sound fits well. Good going. Congratulations and good luck!
It's a bit like Doodle jump. I had fun for five barrels or so. :p
Innovation
I've seen many things like that before..
Theme
For me it's not that you get the Theme just by putting it in your story. The gameplay should somehow match the theme..
Graphics
Did you watch the Barrel tutorial of Brackeys? :p
Graphics were okay. Liked the planet in the background (:
Audio
Liked the background music. SoundFX were okay.

Mood
Mood was okay.. Music and planets made the mood..
Overall
For me it was kinda easy and monotone. But I had fun for some time. Good Job (:
I love the setup.
It did feel a bit slow though.
