You are Riki, a space bird. I think it's a dude with a cape, but then I see that it's a bird. You jump from different planets, timing things to match up with their gravity fields to avoid flying off screen or getting hit by what I guess are red space sponges. It's difficult. As time progresses it becomes more an more challenging. This sort of game isn't really for me, but the developer seems like a cool person and after initially not making a video for it due to having an awful time I decided to give it another shot.
The verdict? It's still not for me. Frustrating levels of difficulty. It requires you to be able to figure out angles all on your own for jumps, which I just cannot seem to do at all. However, the game itself is solid. I know there's appeal for platformers like this, so I tried my best to keep my cool and do as good as possible. I may have reached the last level, but maybe not. It's worth giving it a try.
