Really neat game! The concept of a game that does not have any particular conflict--only a series of tasks to do--is always interesting, and I don't think I've seen a combination of a construction theme and a space theme like this before.

Initially I thought that building planets to match all the percents was going to be a huge pain, but I noticed the "weight" parameter pretty quickly and discovered it was quite straightforward to build planets simply by grabbing a particular weight of each component. I actually really liked that the requirements were stated in percentages rather than weights, as that allowed me to make a couple gigantic planets just for fun.

(Although, at the end, I decided to just be efficient... multiples of 5% will always divide evenly into 20 parts, so 20 was the total weight of most of my last few planets)

On the margin-of-error problem that some people noted below: one potential way to make it better, I think, would be to just reduce the units visible to the player. For example, always display the orbit position as round(orbit / 10) (or round(orbit / 10) * 10 if you want to keep the same units), and the percentages as round(percent / 5) * 5, so that it's clear I can only change the orbit in large increments, and that I can only change the percentage in steps of 5%.

Overall I didn't experience any real roadblocks playing the game. The one suggestion I would make is to try to make the transition from the hub world to the level much smoother. I think the hub-world concept becomes less fun when the transition between hub and levels is not very smooth.

I mean, I imagine it's not possible to actually remove the loading time, but if you had an animation fading to and from black (or maybe some sort of animation involving the truck and the warp gate?), it could be a lot smoother.

One other thing I thought would be cool was more variety in planet models.. especially based on maybe planet scale and maaaaybe planet composition, although that one might be tricky.

Overall, I had a pretty chill time with this game. The core concept of building planets as a mundane job is, in my opinion, quite novel, and is executed pretty well.

Really interesting game. I liked the visuals; it felt like everything went together pretty well. The subtle ambience of sound was nice too. The movement felt responsive and not laggy or anything like that. But as someone who is a bit of a perfectionist, especially when it comes to recipes, I was a bit annoyed lol. I'm not sure what is the best method for constructing a planet. 

Do you start with the largest quantity, then dilute and rebalance? Or the smallest quantity? Maybe the middle quantity? I'm not sure. I didn't mind the orbit part, but the planet creation felt tedious. While I wanted to enjoy the process, I couldn't. Because I was too busy trying to use some sort of invisible and unwritten system to try and formulate exact values to put into exact positions.  

I read in the comments that there is a margin of error of 5. Which is nice for sure, but if I'm not informed of that, then I can't take advantage of it. Every planet I made was using exact values.

A system that could have worked really well would have been picking up resources in quantities of 5 per [ E ] press. And then using that resource's required % I could easily mathematically determine what each value should be. While that may sound annoying, I can assure you that I would have found that tremendously easier than what I was having to do already.

All in all, I think it was a cool concept. ^^

Very original concept !  :o 

i like how you set up the mission objectives where you get the trailer then tow the star in place then get the right amount of resources and last place the planet in correct orbit, seems complex at first but it's quite easy once you get it. 

That said what is a bit hard is getting the dosage and orbit right cause you have to be exact and it's hard to do so, cause when you collect resources you don't get an accurate % until you have multiple and dosing exactly can be a pain :( not sure if it's a bug but the discard resource with the E key didn't seem to work for me.

But other than that the ship controls feel nice and responsive, i like the towtruck/ship and the warp gates's design and the humor of building an entire star system as a 9 - 5 job that became mundane :p

But the game is anything but that :)

A really unique idea and perfectly executed!
Even though i loved the controls, it was a bit of a pain to get used to it!

A solid game overall. Visuals are very well done and music is relaxing, which fits the gameplay.

The idea of creating entire solar systems with your truck is very neat. My only gripe was that it took me a while to notice the instructions aren't dead set, so I can complete a planet that requires 30/20/50 with 29/21/50 for example. I kept trying to match the proportions but couldn't get it right.

Congratulations on a very well done game.

This was a really nice game! It has a sort of “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” sort of feel to it. A few things did get me, though…

• A small gripe to start… the instructions say to “Follow the Directions in the TAB on the Right” (or something to that effect), but this tab is actually on the left. Because the instructions mentioned something on the right, I spent a few minutes thinking some mission dialog or something was supposed to appear on the right and it never did, so I got a little nervous that the game broke on me.
• Took me a little while to figure out how to move the sun. I think maybe a pop-up telling me to press space when I have everything in place would have been nice. I could have sworn there were times I moved the sled in place, pressed the space bar, and nothing happened.
• I really like that there’s a mini-map, but the grid on the mini-map does not move at all, and that bothers my mind a lot… couldn’t explain why. It might be because there’s a grid in the main game space that does move, but the one in the mini-map doesn’t and my mind is screaming that something isn’t right. Perhaps removing the grid in the mini-map and just putting a little border around the map would be better? Not sure.
• After coming to grips with the actual mechanics… there wasn’t much challenge to the game (to be fair, I only played the first three missions, so, if the challenges show up at mission 4+, the disregard this). Maybe some space monster or something that could come and gobble up the planets or bump the star or something could add a little extra kick to the game?

Over all, though, I really think this is a very nicely made game! Excellent work!

I like the music and graphics! That plane that you sit on as a flat surface in space is a nice idea. I wish I could rotate the camera though! Since I couldn't rotate the camera, the minimap was super helpful. There should be some kind of purpose / motivation for building solar systems to keep the player engaged. However, the music made it almost therapeutic and I guess it's okay just like that then - without too much added excitement :)

I enjoyed this game a lot. Really unique, it kinda feels like a weird N64 game :D

Towing stuff along with you space truck felt really good. At first I was a bit intimidated by the planet building (all the numbers ...), but after I stopped overthinking it, it turned out quite easy and relaxing. It also looks and sounds really good. Plus, I love the confetti effect!

The tow truck really gave me vibes of the meme in the description! Good job guys, definitely got the polish I expected 😉

Definitely a unique concept. I don't like crunching numbers or "complex" calculations during a jamover but I did enjoy it here :). 3D is always pretty magic to me, I'm impressed with what you guys put down here.

Accessibility wise, I found the text quite small and above the warp gates even unreadable.

Controls wise, it was really smooth and response. The backward acceleration hardly braking before reversing was confusing and it took me a bit to get accustomed to it.  

The skybox was very impressive and I really love the particles effect of the gathering, but I found the truck quite dark a lot of the time and I wish it would have been more consistently illuminated.

Definitely one of the most unique concepts I've played so far! The music here was a real highlight. That mournful bassoon solo being joined by more and more instruments really added to the feeling that you were building something.

This is a cool, original game! Made me chuckle the first time towing an entire sun. The planet building mechanic is really neat too, if not difficult! This is a really interesting entry. Nice work, team!

Wait is that .. , ohno you did not.

Nice skybox, graphics are very impressive.

Though gameplay can use some more excitement or streamlining.
