Really like the slingshot merging ability!

I had a hard time making the cards do what I would want to do. I don't know why the clicks or controls were not working all the time.

Thanks so much for playing! :) Yeah that bug happens sometimes. We’re planning on fixing the bugs after jam is over if you feel like checking it out again later!

Developer

Now that the jam is over, we just released an update with those major bugs fixed. If you liked it, feel free to give it another shot!

Nice! The slingshot works much better now, and the cards are applied as expected. Cheers!

This was enjoyable, looking forward to see more complex mechanics like adding gravity so the planets affect each other more.

Well done, good music, good art, fun concept, fun story. Well done for a first game! You 2 should be proud! :)

Developer

Thank you and thanks so much for playing! :)

The puzzle element is interesting, but the game lost me once it introduced slingshot and more comprehensive puzzles. Obvious skill issue.

Nice concept and cool game. But cards are little buggy.

Nice game, but the visuals are a bit lacking in my opinion.  And on lvl 5-ish i hade some problem, my controls didn't register. But a solid idea, i could see a more complex version of this with more resources and systems. (I you can find the time i would be happy if you took a look at my game and rated it)

Pretty solid idea, nice audio, and good visuals, but the cards sometimes just refuses to work though.

Creative concept and challenging puzzles, had fun making extremely livable planets.

Some of the cards just aren't working for me. The slingshot is super inconsistent, but otherwise I like the concept :)

I really enjoyed this, it's a super fun game and I'm impressed that you managed to make a tutorial in such a short time frame.

Neat concept! throwing together planets felt great

I am not a huge fan of Space-related stuff myself however i genuinely enjoyed your game and the whole concept :) Great work!

Submitted(+2)

Good game idea, however I can't complete the level with five planets. Sometimes tips about planets don't appear when I hover over a planet. I don't know if this is a bug or some problem on my end.

Thanks for playing! Unfortunately it's a bug we weren't able to fix in time that seems to occur after resetting puzzles sometimes. The only way to get past it is to restart the game. Sorry!

I've liked where you're going with this... I've got stuck in the level where you need to create a medium chaos planet... the slingshot kept jamming.
