As some would call a surprise collaboration; Roger Hicks (rComplex) and Paul Veer (animator of Super Crate Box) have teamed up to tell the story of "Celestial Mechanica." Celestial Mechanica delivers a mixture of action, puzzle, exploration and adventure while sporting the awesome "pixely-goodness" you've come to expect from Paul Veer and "sexy ear candy" from Roger Hicks.

I liked the designs, the graphics, the gameplay, and the music. The story was aiight, but I was really looking for the gameplay the most- and i feel it delivered. I also liked the aesthetic! A double jump because it has rockets! It can do the things it can do because of technology! It makes sense and it fits!
The game didn't get a perfect ten because I had some collision detection issues with some hazards, namely the spikes in the first area- and moving between sections of the map could be a bit... disorienting?
I really like the way deaths were handled though. It felt like I was playing the game again in just one second after my many (500+) deaths so I was constantly able to play.
Yes the game is short, but I do not feel my $5 was wasted at all. Well done sir. I look forward to more.
