What INSPIRED this game?
Planes in the night sky, that are looking like stars which are searching their place.
That was actually what I thought when I was like 4 years old.

List the parts of your game you or your team did NOT make. (Pre-existing assets or downloaded content)
Technically all sound effects, except for the shooting sound. (Technically because they were made with presets for some synthesizers. Explosion sound was a free asset and not generated by myself)

Absolutely amazing and very original game!! I hope you keep working on this to expand it, this has a lot of potential, could even be a good mobile game as well!! Very good!! :)

Actually, you are not the first one who suggested me that idea. I will probably work at it as my second project, if I need some free time from my main project. However, I am glad that you like it and thank you for your reply.

Very nicely done! Great puzzle game. It is quite challenging, which in and of itself is not bad, although I recommend reducing the difficulty due to rock obstacles just a tad because it can be frustrating. For example, there was at least 1 puzzle where you had to separate your 2 energy sources horizontally by a certain distance to get them to move around rocks and reach the targets. However, if you created the wrong sized gap, or you accidentally created a vertical gap by bumping into one of the rocks, it was very hard, if not impossible, to correct, and you had to restart, even if you were on your way to solving the puzzle. Reducing this kind of difficulty due to frustration would help create a more enjoyable player experience. However, the bulk of this game is really well done, and I had a lot of fun.

Thank you for the reply Slug Overdose. Well, this problem is caused by the short amount of devoelopment time, so that there was not much play testing time. I will go over it later, after the Jam.

This game was great. I really enjoyed it. One suggestion: at the last level it isn't really necessary to slow down the cannon with the blue thingy to be able to slide through with the yellow one. Maybe tune up the speed of the gun.

Well I could do 2 things now. I could speed the cannon up or I could just say you out played the game ;P

I will look after this little "issue" after the Jam. So thank you for the reply.

A little challenging but what puzzle game isn't? I liked the theme, it was adorable.
