This is absolutely fantastic! The game gives such an esoteric vibe and playing around with the instruments is super satisfying. Everything feels very cohesive and examining the stars and planets and moons is pretty fun. I will say, the start of the game is quite disruptive with how freqeuently the tutorial pop-ups appear. Perhaps it would be better to combine more of these messages together so there are fewer of them.

The group chatted on Discord about this a bit. To document it here, I agree that the tutorials might be excessive.
They could be an overcorrection to how I’ve received requests for tutorials in past submissions. In general, I dislike tutorials in games—to the point that I actively omit traditional ones from my main projects—and I think this would be most improved by a toggle which removes them entirely too.
My philosophy toward the tutorial was for each unit of text to explain a singular concept when first introduced, but I can see how this approach may be too chatty and could be iterated upon in the future. At least it’s only ten minutes before you’re let completely loose?
That said, I’m glad you enjoyed the overall experience! Cheers!
