Jumping takes too long and hitboxes are horrendous. Don't bother with this one.

I mean what do you want for a dollar? It's ok. It has 100 levels, of which I think I only beat like 15 or so before I was pretty dang bored. I can see this game taking anywhere from 1-2 hours to beat depending on how fast you are. It's not BAD, it's just not GOOD. The art style is about the best thing the game has going for it. The music is just all right, and the gameplay is fairly mediocre. I think I would actually enjoy this A LOT more on a phone to play while I'm waiting at the doctors office or something. In that particular scenario this game would be pretty fun. But to play it on a keyboard on a PC when there are infinitley better AT HOME titles, this isn't the one to play. I'm gonna give it a thumbs up because it's NOT BAD, but it really deserves a side ways neutral thumb.

This is a really cool game with lots of great graphics and interesting levels. It is a challenging game, but that is what keeps it thrilling! I would recommend this if you are looking for a challenging puzzle game experience.

A Long Way Home is a highly entertaining platformer game with a number of fun, quirky suprises. Although it is a short game to play, the many different puzzles are challenging enough to keep your interest through a number of playthroughs.
Highly recommended; I'd give it an 8/10 rating, as there is at least one bug related to achievements that I encountered.

It's an obvious mobile port, but it's still quite fun. The graphics are cute and not overdone. The quiet piano soundtrack lends an air of serenity about things which can be quite misleading as you fly into a rage after missing that just jump for the tenth time.

Really fun gravity based game. The goal is to time jumps between asteroids, gathering collectibles as you do. Cute artwork and a decent little story. An enjoyable time to be sure. Just a shame we've seen no more from Jonathan Mulcahy since this one.
