I loved this game. It is one one of the best games i have played in a long time. It was very self-explanatory. Thank You for sharing this.

logun 2013-04-29 10:11

As you said, need more iterations on gameplay with new LD (obstacles, gravity zone ...) Liked music !

8bitpimp 2013-04-29 12:48

Very strong game, really sets your mind into puzzle mode. Very fun to play and keeps you wanting to beat every level. Good work gone on here.

zerebruin 2013-04-29 12:53

Oh, my! This on a mobile device is gold! Gotta try it on my tablet tonight. Fantastic overall look & feel!

yezu 2013-04-29 12:59

I really like the concept.

follett 2013-04-29 12:59

The best game I have played this LD and the first 5 overall I have ever given. If you expanded on the gameplay and added gravity from other planets I would buy this!

Pretty interesting, and certainly not too easy! The first 1-2 levels were a bit hard for me to figure what are the game limits (number of clicks vs. how many things you get to sun), but after that it was pretty interesting puzzling around.

umu 2013-04-29 13:05

Really impressed! I would have had no problem playing more levels. The only thing that irked me is that there was no number telling you how many points you could place, so I always had to start every level by testing that.

rwos 2013-04-29 13:08

Great gameplay, though the blue dots could have been introduced a little earlier on. Also, an indicator of how many waypoints one has left would have been nice. But other than that it's really fun and tricky and interesting. (and then I accidentally hit reload and everything was lost, so I didn't finish it, sorry). It also has a nice mood to it - audio fits very good. Overall: Excellent!

simonchauvin 2013-04-29 13:08

Thanks a lot guys. I'm not sure whether it can be played on mobile or not. Theoretically yes, but no promises :)
Indeed, the remaining clicks (waypoints) should have been displayed somewhere on the screen. Lack of playtests and perspectives I guess.

simonchauvin 2013-04-29 13:18

Oh no it's me, sorry about that reload bug. I can't seem to reproduce it though... weird!

nicojaujou 2013-04-29 16:33

Interesting and well executed, good job!

ataxkt 2013-04-29 19:19

Ah thank fuck, finally a genuine original game! Really love it, great work. Agreed with zebebruin - this could be a mobile hit!

zerebruin 2013-04-29 19:22

P.S. works perfectly on my tablet!

tomvert 2013-04-30 11:48

Very nice game, easy to understand and good audio.

simonchauvin 2013-04-30 12:13

Thank you all for giving me your feedbacks and playing my game. It's really great to have that many enthusiastic comments!
Also, I have uploaded a new version with the clicks counter displayed in lieu of the mouse cursor :)

th3dz 2013-04-30 16:48

Very nice game. Puzzely and nice.

rwos 2013-04-30 17:15

Just to clarify - I hit the browser's reload button (because I'm stupid like that), not the one in the game. The one in the game works fine.

sylvain-p 2013-04-30 20:11

Great, How many levels have you built ? (Currently, I'm stuck into the 2 colors and 3 lines level)

simonchauvin 2013-04-30 20:58

This is the last one. There are 14 levels. I had more but a major bug prevented me from using them :(

simonchauvin 2013-04-30 20:59

@rwos, ok thanks for clarifying!

mcbeef 2013-04-30 23:36

Great game. Loved the mood & the level design.

goodlookinguy 2013-05-01 04:40

This game was great. The learning curve was right, the mood was right, and overall it was pretty fun to figure out ways to beat the stages. I could definitely see this game being turned into a larger game that'd I'd play. 'Cause the only drawback I could find is that there wasn't more.

webravenz 2013-05-01 16:56

great puzzle game with nice mood

chronodrax 2013-05-01 23:08

Great game ! I love how such simple interaction is needed yet requires a lot of thinking. It took me quite a time to understand how to use the attraction. Once it's done the game becomes a bit easier, and yet each new level surprised me, requiring more attention to finish it. The end left me wanting for more levels; it seems that this gameplay can afford so much more of them.
Again, great job :)

jah2488 2013-05-02 01:37

Great stuff.

kgs0142 2013-05-02 09:25

Woo! It's really a puzzling puzzle!
Pretty cool, simple yet brilliant.
Good job!

stqn 2013-05-02 17:31

Pretty cool!

pixelulsar 2013-05-03 21:39

I found it hard to figure out what to do at first, but it was a neat concept.

wine 2013-05-04 11:51

nice puzzle, well done!

thesarcastic 2013-05-05 19:30

One of the best of t his LD for sure!

fnkee 2013-05-05 19:33

One of the most innovative games I've played till now. This was amazing, and deserves 5 stars from my side. Would love to see you work on more levels for this game. The audio was magic as well! Very well done!

mesene 2013-05-05 19:36

Nice entry, very solid. Well done :)

alexfalkenberg 2013-05-06 15:20

I really enjoyed this. I'm thinking touchscreen for this at some point. I hope you are, too. :)

fakeyou 2013-05-07 09:45

awesome game! really nice mechanics and puzzles.

Would have liked to see how many boxes I could place though and I thought that the introduction of the blue squares was a little late into the game.

kill0u 2013-05-09 12:32

Nice concept :)

gokuhd 2013-05-11 04:15

I really like art and sounds, well done. The idea is clever too, nice job! :)

lorancou 2013-05-14 15:14

Bravo !! As the other said, a truly original game! Release this on mobiles and make some money now :)

simonchauvin 2013-05-14 15:38

Again thank you for your feedbacks, it makes me so happy! I was not considering the idea of publishing this game at first but you are starting to convince me. It seems like Kongregate could be a good way of doing it, it accepts HTML5 and have a mobile portal. Anyway thank you for playing, liking, rating and commenting!

miharbi 2013-05-14 19:21

Interesting concept and very fun game

dst 2013-05-16 07:24

Mechanics in this is plain awesome, and the graphics lend themselves well to the theme

someone 2013-05-16 13:51

That was really cool. Good job.

shawn42 2013-05-17 03:33

Great puzzler. I agree w/ nintendoeats: I really wanted to know how many waypoints I get per level. Very addictive, nice work.

puccini 2013-05-18 18:47

I like it :)
