I love the story, but the gameplay feels kind of slow.

It's no masterpiece, but I think it's pretty good for what it is! I liked the music quite a bit. The boss battles were pretty cool, even if they got annoying at times. The story is kinda meh, but it's good enough for a simple game like this. I liked the dialogue as well, and I liked the subtle detail that you can jump higher in later levels as you get closer to space. Overall, cool game!

Probably the best usage of time signature changes I've ever heard. It seems like it would be impossible to create something that changes this smoothly between 4/4, 3/4, and 15/4, but somehow, this song pulls it off.

Cool! I like the contrast between the mechanical-sounding growls in the drops and the more emotional melodic parts. Really helps to tell the story.

Speaking of which, the description sounds kinda like something you'd read about in one of Ray Bradbury's short stories.

I'm not sure I know enough music theory to figure out what's going on with those melodies. They sound cool, though. It kinda gives off a feeling of getting your bearings in an unfamiliar dimension where no dangers have presented themselves (I'd say the vocal samples support this interpretation), so maybe the Phrygian mode is involved somehow, but at the same time there's definite excitement? I don't know. Whatever it is, I think it sounds cool.

Also, the ending kinda reminds me of some of ELEPS' stuff, like "Black and White" and "Shards of Power", which have roughly the same style of ending.
