It has its moments of quiet exploration and somber reflection, but it's nothing if not varied. It's chill in that there's no penalty for dying and indeed you're literally forced to. But it's still wild and exciting, and sometimes even terrifying.
While I was playing, I had someone ask me my favorite death and I knew my answer right away. That was one of the moments I realized my experience of the game had started to flip, because I had been enjoying even the parts I hated.
Better time control helps a bit too. You can wait at the fire before launch to get a better alignment for where you want to go or for a specific event. I think it was the tornado planet I tended to wait a short bit just so it lined up better? You can also end a loop early, but that you have to be taught. I don't think it's a spoiler to say, but if you do don't finish this paragraph (not sure my app is doing spoiler tags right):

the guy on the tornado planet will eventually teach you at some point, so just go back and exhaust his dialogue every once in a while until you trigger whatever does it.As for my favorite death: I was trying to land on the interloper but missed slightly and it flew right past me. I scrambled to change momentum and chase after it. It got farther and farther away but then slowly I started gaining on it again. I gained more speed and started leveling out after what felt like minutes of turning as hard as I could at max thrust. And then the sun appeared from off screen, like an angry father that just caught a misbehaving child. My punishment was immediate and thorough.
I couldn't stop laughing for the entire loop animation. (and then I went to the interloper as planned)
