Good game! Especially liked the art and sound effects. However, to be honest, I didn't really get the gameplay. You might wanna add a tutorial level.

If you don't mind, could you rate my game?

Well, that was freakin' adorable. :D I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of playing!

Had a relaxing time playing this. The art is great! The levels are not hard but explains well the game mechanics, hope you'll carry on with more levels in the future! Game design-wise it could be interesting to add clues to indicate which path the starts will follow (because I didn't get they had to follow a given path at first), such as arrows on the ground.

It was…. Soothing! I liked the audio the most, reminds me of last time I went to a spa (pre-covid, sigh). The art is nice and seeing our little astronaut giggle when a level is complete is oddly satisfying! In my opinion, the game could benefit a little more level design, because there’s no real challenge to the levels… Unless you wanted your player to have another type of experience playing your game, which is totally fine.

Congratz!

This is a really sweet and gentle game. There is not very much of a challenge with getting through the levels, but getting through them was pleasing. It feels very finished and well done. I really enjoyed the art stlye and generally really liked playing it. The ending was nice too. Kudos

Hey an RPG maker game, nice! Love to see a bit of variety. It was a charming and plesant game with lovely art. I felt there was some interesting puzzle mechanics in there, but it never got challenging, so i was a little unsatisfied on this front (although making it hard runs the risk of turning people away!) Great job for a solo dev!

I really like that this has a little story to it!

The puzzles are nicely made. Even though they do feel a little cliched, they're a loving homage rather than a tired retreading

The artwork is lovely and the use of sound gives a voice to the characters. Well done!

Took a while for the puzzles to really kick into gear and the pathfinding for little star baby things seems arbitrary (and long), but on the whole, I really enjoyed this one! Lovely presentation, neat puzzles and an all-around relaxing vibe.

This could be a simple casual commercial game. Nice and concise, and very conclusive.

The game is nice :) There isn't really more to say. The art style is enjoyable, sounds are on-point, and puzzles are pretty fun to play. I feel like a mobile porting of it would be somewhat successful. Hope to play it on my phone one day!

This was a pleasant little game. The art direction was simple but effective and consistent; the choice of of orange and yellow with dark purples for contrast makes for a soothing colour palette complimenting its simple story. It's a little on the short, easy side, but it has potential to be expanded into a fuller experience should the creator take it further beyond this demo. Solid entry!

Had a lot of fun playing this game! An interesting concept with potential for a lot of unique mechanics. The art style was adorable and the premise was creative, my only gripe would be adding a few QoL features such as a retry button. Otherwise a great entry.
