You have crash landed on a strange planet. You need to gather all the lost spaceship parts in order to leave.

Move using the arrow keys. You can't jump, so don't try.

I really enjoyed the gameplay. Super simple to understand, lots of room to expand the mechanic.

This is a really nice concept - thinking three dimensionally in 2d, I like the art style too, and the way it manages to introduce you to the game mechanics gradually, I really like the mechanic of spacebar and then teleporting to the opposite side, means you have to think laterally to beat it, so far I have managed to grab I think 4 of the spaceship parts. The galaxy that swirls lightly in the background is a good visual effect too. Overall a really solid entry.

Great game mechanic! I really enjoyed it and the style of the game.

Original mechanics, solid level design and nice simplistic artwork. I see so much potential. I love the fact that you can't jump. It stand out from other platforming games.

On the other hand, I think the background clashes with the pixel art style. Perhaps with a dithering gradient and single pixel stars, it would look better.

Anyway, great job

Really nice, simple idea but well done, I didn't find the 9th card but I found a way out of the world :D

Great variation on theme. It was easy to understand and fun to navigate with unusual mechanic. I had only one problem with activation of the teleproting screen with spacebar. Somethimes several press was required to toggle screen on and off. Otherwise a very good entry.

Now this is the most inovative game i've seen so far. Very cleaver mechanic. The graphics are simple yet charming. What i would change would be the character speed and implement an UI with progress indicators and such.

Game was really nice, I think you should consider releasing a longer version in steam or somewhere else. If you release it, let me know and I would be happy to own one. Music was really good, pixel art was really nice. A great 15 minutes for me!

Amazing concept... Seems like someone would have done something like this but I can't remember ever seeing it. Please develop it further and make more detailed levels.

Best mechanic I've played during the jam and im at 50+... The highest marks, friend!

Oh, that was a fun mechanic to play around with. Would love to see an expanded version; you could set up some interesting puzzles with it, and there's lots of capacity for the player to discover faster routes than the "intended" (or for you to force them / put shinies in interesting places)

Really cool mechanic and interesting puzzles! An indicator of where the ship was and a hud with the spaceship parts left would have been nice, but maybe not as clean as a design. Great game!
