FANTASTIC puzzle game. I love what you did with the line previews, star variety/currency system, and a few other things. Seems like you have a great foundation for a puzzle game, with a lot of exploration left with the existing mechanics. Although I wanted more levels, it seemed appropriately scoped for a game jam session. I particularly enjoy how you played with variety on the start points, pre-placed obstacles, and the solar bodies to choose from, from level to level. There were also some neat surprises like being able to re-enter a wormhole. I've seen a lot of people attempt to make a fun gravity/physics puzzle game with planet stuff, this one in particular seems to get all the puzzle elements pointing in the same direction. Great job!
Here's a playtest

this was really cool to watch, thanks for recording it! yeah we really appreciate the advice and criticism, that will help a lot if we make a similar game in the future. we had a few people playtest before as well, I was the one who designed the levels and its been great to see people come up with their own solutions to levels! especially when they see the level in a totally different way to how my original solution worked. thanks so much!
