  • A genuinely lovely little game, and I can see such a good connection with the jam's theme. Making friends, and making constellations! This feels relatively unique and well-thought-out. I'm really impressed with the work on this. The game plays relatively smoothly, I only had a slight glitch once when I was 'orbiting' but I was not in a circle nor was I moving, but that was fixed by trying to leave the orbit, and it reset me. I also had the "i should look around" speech bubble stuck on screen for a while because I went to the black hole first, but I was eventually able to click it away. It didn't stop the game from running, so, overall there was nothing game breaking for me. I sometimes got stuck in the same orbit a few times when trying to move in a direction, but that wasn't too bad. Pretty enjoyable to play. The controls worked well. The art is so lovely. It's chill, and friendly. The background is nice and calming on the eyes, and the little comet character is adorable! I loved the little star animations as I moved, and I liked seeing the stars light up as I orbited them too. The music is excellent. I let it keep playing as I write this because it had such a nice vibe. The writing is simple and comforting, and has some real potential for expansion there. I think the thing I really enjoy about this game is some details, like tracking how many stars I visited (which made me want to find them all), and showing me the path I took, making a brand new constellation. Some of them looked like geometric art too, so that was genuinely cool. I was tempted to try and make little art pieces out of it too, but I'm not that skilled. This could easily be expanded to a larger game with a longer narrative, it has so much potential! I hope the whole team is very proud of this game and that you all learned a lot throughout the jam. I'm even hoping you all get together and expand on this. I liked it very much.

Interesting game. I wasn't really sure what the point of it was. It seems like a relaxing game where you try to make a constellation by connecting the planets so to speak.
The music and art were very nice. And it was a calm experience. The transition to orbits is really well done.

I think if there was more a more clear objective and a little more fun gameplay, this could be a cool game you play on your phone in your spare time.

thank you so much for the feedback! we wanted to keep the scope really simple and achievable since all of us were beginners and also in different timezones + jobs etc. we'll keep the gameplay & objective bit in mind for the future :)

Yeah I get that, my team and I were also in different timezones. Definitely not easy to communicate and have everything go smoothly. Still great accomplishment for getting it done and submitted!

This is a sick game! Can totally see Nintendo releasing this on a DS back in the day! If this was designed further Id buy it! Great job :)
