Planets[edit | edit source]
- Purple planets purple planets are normal planets and do no special other then being the only planet that has Jumping Octopuses on them.
- Yellow planets yellow planets allow the Astronaut to run faster and to jump farther.
- Green planets cause the Astronaut to walk slower and jump little only allowing him to jump to planets that are very close.
- Metal planets metal planet act like purple planets.
- Small planets are very tiny but act like normal planets.
- Electric planets are big and covered with metal. After a few second they will make their surface of them covered with blue electricity. A well timed jump will allow the Astronaut to not take damage from the electricity.
- Hot planets are the most dangerous planet encountered. They have a black crust on them that allows safe travel around them. But in between the black crust is harmful red liquid. Sometimes there is small parts of the black crust that is between large parts of liquid.
- Ice planets have a slippery surface that causes the Astronaut to move slowly in one direction but will soon speed up over time.
