Strange Spaces
You enter a wormhole in space, where navigation is dictated by anomalies which restrict your movement in different ways, but also grant you capabilities to overcome obstacles. Navigate your way between asteroid fields and black holes, and reach the exit (preferrably with cargo intact).
Controls
Move with WASD or arrow keys

so fun! the thing that messed me up the most was switching between regular and inverted controls. it was easy to switch to inverted, but not back to normal!! reset levels sooo many times because i wanted to go up with regular movement but auto-hit d.
i suspect the comments about input not getting recognized are because the movement/input speed is just very slow (or was for me). once i started pacing my inputs none of them were missed. however i think a faster pace would be nice (maybe as a hard mode?) because the slower pace forces you to think more. i think if you could move as fast as you wanted, there would be more room to screw up, and *you* would have to get yourself to slow down.
but maybe i'm wrong and i just got lucky with the inputs.
This game is RIGHT up my alley. Very 'Baba Is You' and all the mechanics meshed REALLY well. Gonna disagree with one of the other comments that didn't like the manual "twice in the same direction" inputs since I think keeping track of your anomaly inputs is part of managing the puzzle, but I WOULD say that each key press could be a bit more responsive. It felt like my input presses got dropped every now and again. Beat all 12 levels and had a blast using my noggin. Great stuff!
Got to level 5
Music, SFX, graphics and polish are all VERY nice, really good job on that, love it. Unfortunately, the controls are a bit unsatisfying. There is very high chance that my input will be missed, and I feel like I shouldn't have to press W twice when I have the "can only move two steps at a time" anomaly. Maybe it could just move two steps at once with one keypress?
Great job overall!
Hi!
I got to level 6. Got too complicated for my little brain I guess XD
Still enjoy the graphics and the mechanics! The music wasn'T aggressive either so that's a plus imho :P
Keep up the good work! ♥
