The idea to draw constellations was very interesting. I didn't have much fun though. Choosing a different constellation didn't change the spell. There isn't really a way to lose, but that's probably okay because the controls for casting were very hard and I nearly gave up. But I figured it out in the end. So if there was more urgency in the meteor part and if different constellations gave you different spells, or maybe the meteor part could be something else. Because I think the main mechanic is super cool and I can see it being used as a spell system in an RPG or something like that.

The music was cool. The graphics are basic, but the particle explosions were very underwhelming and felt janky, but that doesn't make the main idea worse.

What an ambitious first game! O.O
I am amazed that you manage to do that well in such a tiny amount of time... Well done! As some people already mentioned, reliable pattern recognition, with projection of 3D lines in 2D, is not the easiest thing to code.

However, like the others, I struggled with the controls and felt that the tutorial could be enhanced. I also noticed that the music is not looping.

I didn't reach the end and kept destroying meteors forever... Is there one at some point?

Anyway, nice job! :)

Great job making 2-in-1 games using Godot for first time! Took some time to get used to the controls. The feeling of putting your own constellations to use was quite pleasing.

Potential idea if you plan to expand the game: different patterns could have different effects when casting them, ex. if you make a more circular-looking, then the spell will have a wider range but travel slow. Or if you make a sharp-looking shape, it travels fast and can go through multiple meteors. I can also see this work well in VR, but that's another can of worms. :P

Overall, pretty original idea and a fun game.

I’ve played the Windows version, this game felt very ambitious (I think pattern recognition isn’t easy to create) and I found the idea of gaining the spells from the constellations to be very interesting. The music and sounds created a nice atmosphere, making the experience more enjoyable.

I found it difficult to recreate patterns with 4 or more stars, however 3-star angle-shaped constellations were recognized rather reliably, so I used them most often.

That was awesome! For lack of a better description the "feel" was just fantastic. I love the creativity, it felt really refreshing. The spell casting was really surprisingly forgiving too which made it work even better.

The controls were exceptionally confusing for me. I panicked a bit trying to memorize the long tutorial texts before dismissing them, even for basic stuff that I already know like how to move, run and jump.

Some static labels on the screen that relay the non-standard game controls (Q, E, RMB, LMB) would really help as a persistent reminder after the tutorial is done.

A really fantastic entry for a first game made in Godot; it can be a hard engine to switch to without any practice so great work! I'm excited to see what you come up with next. :D

Very cool idea! I loved creating some patterns and was really pumped to use them to defeat Earth :D

It took me some time to understand how to use the spells, but after restarting the game and making more simple ones (with only three stars), it worked! And it felt really nice to explode some of those Asteroids!

Nice game, especially for the first time working with Godot! Very impressive!!

Hi ian-h-chamberlain,

First of all, congrats on your first Jam Entry. Cheers to many more in the future! :)

Funnily enough, we had a really similar idea for this theme. You need to draw spells in order to defeat enemies / danger.

Despite that, these are 2 drastically different games. I loved the idea of using constellations! :)

The tutorial feels a bit rushed but I imagine you were running out of time at the end.

Overall I enjoyed it, you come up with an interesting mechanic which definitely could be explored further! :)

Cool entry even though I think it's way too complicated.

I love the presentation though, esp starting out like you're floating in a star field essentially, and then even the second act is pretty cool looking too, especially the meteors and the parchment. Sound and music is pretty nice also!

Controls could def use some simplification I think.

I had to restart once to figure out how to make spells and then I couldn't ever actually get them to cast at the meteors.
