How does your game fit the theme?
You can change star scale, it changes the gravity, which is the only control you have.

Very interesting physics, congrats! extremely creative idea for this jam. I feel like we started with similar ideas in mind because I also used gravity in our game, but you took it in a very interesting direction. the warped grid idea btw? *chef s kiss* !! so jealous!!
Glad you enjoyed it mate, thanks!
As a physics nerd, I really loved this wow. Varying object gravity with size and using that to change trajectories? Genius!
Glad you liked it, thanks a lot!
im not a windows guy sorry
Sorry you couldn't play, thanks for checking it out anyway!
ill build it to other platforms for you if you want
I felt my brain expand while playing this. Haha, loved it, really cool idea and very satisfying to solve the puzzles. I gave up on the very last level but I beat all the rest. I think it'd be neat if in more advanced levels you had the ability to switch which star you're manipulating manually somehow, but that's really the only criticism I have. Really cool game.
To be honest I think that planet selection using the left stick/wasd should be a feature in the whole game, it would simplify the code a lot and give the player significantly more control. Thanks a lot!
Really enjoyed your game! The idea of controlling an object only using the size of another object is really novel. It also has a really great style and sound direction.
Only critiques I have are that the camera controls are sometimes unresponsive and the restart button (enter?) didn't seem to work for me. So I ended up skipping levels and having to restart the game to try them again. Seems like normal game jam issues to me.
Congrats on a great submission! The team really has something to be proud of here.
Restart was on backspace! Our art guy left for GamesCom before we submitted and it was just us two programmers left, we probably made a bad prompt haha sorry about that. And yes the camera is a common issue, need more time to tune. Thanks for the feedback.
I like the look and sound of the game! The warped grid is a very useful way to convey how gravity is affected at a glance. Overall, nice and interesting take on using gravity as a mechanic; seems to be a common theme! ;)
A fine theme indeed! Thanks!
Looks great, movements feels very fluid and the audio fits wonderfully! Overall just feels very polished, well done! :D
Thanks a lot!
