It's different in that it is an adventure clicker. You'll get to go around in different constellations to save the universe from the evil.
So, adventure mode is like a meta-game, or you by adventure you mean just changing backgrounds after completing a stage? Are you publishing the game all by yourself or hoping to get a publisher?
I'm not sure what elements would have to be included to be a 'meta-game', but it does have upgrades and star travels to differentiate the game from main stream clickers. We've already found a publisher for the game - Us!

Trailer looks nice, but a bit monotonous: same action with different layouts. You mentioned that the main thing that differentiates your game from other clickers is "going around other constellations". I can see this unique feature for just a couple of seconds. I believe it's not enough to point out that this is your most stand-out feature.
