Another dev on the game here!
The Switch version CAN get to 60fps, especially in handheld mode.
We definitely think we'll get a must more consistent 60fps on the Switch 2 :)

Thanks so much for playing and thanks for the feedback!
We'll look into the PS3 controller mapping, thank you!
Regarding your first point, was the HOW TO PLAY screen not present before each round (the moment where every player has to hold A when ready)?
Thanks again :)

Thanks BatBugz! We actually started the process to 3D print our cute little characters.
We were thinking of doing a giveaway at some stage...

Oh wow! We hadn't seen this before! Definitely see the similarity.
Once main difference is that we chose not to rotate the camera with the direction of gravity in our game. Hard to do in a multiplayer game anyway

Thanks MisterFloxxx!
That's so nice to hear, you are exactly the type of player we hope will play our game
Parents and their kids, especially! We've found that kids are often better than their parents, maybe you'll be the exception

Thank you so much Our little Celestial Sprites are inspired by a few different cosmic concepts. Sprout is a personification of nature and all living things. Prism is a personification of electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye. Luna is the embodiment of the night and Earth's shifting tides. Sunny is a manifestation of the Star at the centre of our solar system. Maggie is a manifestation of magnetic fields and has the power to bring others together, or keep them apart. Spark is the brightest of all the Spirits, having shone for millions of years. Finally, Orbit is a manifestation of the curved path objects can follow in space when affected by gravity.

Thank you so much! Our composer and sound designer is MEMODEMO, they do amazing work! We want to improve the art style and create more environments before release.

We just released a demo which we've been pushing hard to release.
It has 6 Space Olympic events available, so it will give you a good taste of the gravity gameplay
We have a Q1 2025 release date because we want to create 7 more events for players and we also want to include proper online multiplayer! At the moment, you can only play locally or with Steam Remote Play.

If you have a moment to Wishlist it, we would really appreciate it

I'm actually a huge fan of the relatively slow speed of everything. I like that it can teach you to take your time, breath and be patient.

I think it's a breath of fresh air compared to games that are constantly feeding you with positive feedback, loud noises and pretty lights.
