I made a top ten video of the games from this jam. (Spoiler alert, this game is in it)
If you like the video, please feel free to share it :)
Check it out!
Cool game with built-in ms paint
The mechanics of it were so good. Cute pixel art and nice sound design. Good job!
Loved it! From the introduction it has the extremely delicious taste of an addictive cake. The puzzles are fun and the later levels that required me to restart, or just, you know, plain dying, were annoying in that kind of Super Mario Land-esque way where on little tap of the key meant you went flying into the abyss.
The graphics are wonderful aswell, very well in line with the jam, and I like that the game doesn't use shading, it makes the pieces pop really well, and while it could've made them just boring geometric shapes, it feels cozy.
Gameplay wise it didn't get tedious either, which is a feat in itself, since the mechanics are very child friendly. Opposite to what I just read someone say, I really feel that it would not have benefitted the game having to many different key bindings. Or even one more! Sometimes the physics caught me off guard, maybe they felt a little, how to put it... Too real? I think it would have been nice if the stars, or some of them, instead of tumbling down would've had a teeny tiny bit of float in them.
The only thing that didn't quite fit my tastes was the music, I would've preferred something more bit-tuney, and maybe a little more variation between the making of the constellations.
Summing it up: would love to have has an an endless starcatching game for my mobile!
Very solid and creative puzzle game! No puzzle felt too difficult or unfair. The black hole definitely feels like a stronger mechanic than the white hole though, so I favored using that one in the puzzles. I liked that you can push objects and the player around (or just crush them haha). My favorite levels used the white hole to push objects, or the black hole to bypass things in ways that seemed cheaty.
If I had something to change, I wish the controls to swap which entity you controlled (white/black hole, player) was set to separate keys rather than a single button toggle (1,2,3 vs "z"). This of course is personal preference, but I find it easier to keep track of what is going to be controlled when I have direct control. This problem I had was most noticeable in the level with 3 stars on top where the holes could escape their bounds (28?).
Overall a very fun and creative puzzle game. Great job!
Great game! Really fun to play!
Beautiful game, great interactive tutorial, and a fun concept.
Very well done. One of the best I've played from the jam for sure.
Thanks!
Great game!
I also tried polishing mine as much as possible but it is still lacking some fixes, Im impressed you could reach this level of polish. Well done!
I had a ton of fun with this one. Great use of the theme, polished controls and interesting puzzles. Personally I found the puzzles very easy yet surprisingly satisfying to solve. You have my stars!
This is easily the most polished game jam tutorial I have seen, with solid music! Awesome submission, take my stars (I already took plenty of yours in-game lol)!
Good concept. Easy to learn, heard to master but no too hard however.
And props on adding the little 'constellation builder' at the end of levels...that adds so much! Well done!
One of the best take on the theme I have seen so far! Very well made and the puzzles are great! Too tired to finish it, but I'll come back to it for sure! <3
Nice solid puzzle game, I like the black & white whole mechanics. The controls feels direct, the tutorial was well designed! Well done!
Great Game! The art and music are pleasant. The puzzle mechanics are very fun. The inclusion of a creative element like the constellations is icing on the cake.
This is a good puzzle game! It follows the theme really well and is completely original. It gave me a good brain exercise, but I eventually did get stuck on a puzzle. I like it, Good job!
Wow! This game has the most interesting mechanic I've seen so far.
A very good puzzle game with a very good idea ! I really appreaciate that we collect the stars and then use them to create our constellation!
A few puzzles where unclear and some tedious, but, very original concept, good job!
5 Stars on everything! I was a very unique idea! Very fun to!
