One Post Wonder: still my favorite thing of the moment 4/12 '15
I cannot stop playing this awesome little game.
You ramble around a tiny solar system, exploring and discovering crazy stuff. That's it. It's great. Still in alpha, way more fun than "finished" things I've played with.
After weeks of playing with absolutely no googlin' for spoilerz, I finally broke down and peeked at a playthrough to find out how the heck you land on that wacky disappearing moon. Turns out it's something I never use because the controls are difficult on a mac and I forget how to use stuff that seems less important. So I don't feel so badly about missing it.
Speaking of which, for the benefit of others who were horrified when that other page with the keyboard controls went down:

Don't thank me, thank archive.org.

Because it looks frickin awesome.
