Love the atmosphere of the game and the fonts, unfortunately the 'telekenisis' feature doesn't work - I cannot move the giant rude watermelon or the small brown box above it. Great start though.

Strange. I was able to move the watermelon no problem. Check your flash version?

The art is very cool, but the demo is entirely too easy. The "shooting" feature's kickback allows you to fly, bypassing any obstacles. Unless this is a feature, in which case the obstacles need to be designed with that in mind. Other than that, pretty neat!

Destroyed my browser. Chromium, Linux, 64 bit.

Flash has been having a lot of trouble with this combination recently.

Even easier, you can just click and drag yourself in telekinesis mode...

No problem on Mac Chromium (Leopard).

I think I may have achieved a stable orbit around the planet with the red water. Fun game!

The orbital mechanics seem to be accurate. Shooting up or down just causes oscillations. To move up or down orbits, fire forward or backward.

If you fly too high the game breaks.

Neither can I.

EDIT: Doh! I wasn't clicking on myself first. Never underestimate the stupidity of users.
