Different, but quite interesting game. I loved it.

Nice graphics and fun use of the theme.

The game is very fitting. The worlds are really cute. My only complaint is that I wanted more interesting challenges and MORE challenges in general. The game plays very smooth. The controls are simple and everything works the way you expect. Well done!

I enjoyed how squishy and alive the planets and dishes felt. A nice representation of space, light and cartoony.

Some small audio cues when you make contact between planets would have been nice.

The other objects you have planned sound like they will really elevate gameplay.

Nice job.

I really like the art and the way everything blobs around. Cool idea too. I liked trying to set things up before sending off the first signal. I always overlooked something in my path.

Well executed, brilliant idea, i'd encourage you to polish it and publish it. This is the kind of game I wouldn't mind finding on the App/Play stores at all.

the idea is pretty innovate. interesting game. I liked the art but the camera control was annoying, I couldn't manage it good. And I think the tutorial be fixed to the camera instead of the world, it was a moment where I was zoomed into a world and the tutorial was in another one so I couldn't see it.
Great game, It has potencial
Doesn't have audio, right? (I didn't voted on audio cause I couldnt heard anything)

Hey guys ! Thanks a lot for all your critiques and comments. We are still working on it to improve things and... add audio ^_^ We'll keep you posted soon ;-)

Cool! tutorial was really useful. Graphics were responsive and felt clean!

1. It's not apparent which planet is the "default" one; why not just have the initial emitter on from the start?

2. Zoom/pan and rotate controls were wonky. I think clicking+dragging the planets to rotate would have felt better. Similarly, holding mouse-wheel to pan is strange. I never used zoom, after zooming out as much as possible.

3. Dunno why you go back to "SIGNALS" home screen every time you win the level; just jump to the next one!

4. A camera bounds would be really useful, especially since you don't know if there might be a planet off-screen that wasn't onscreen initally

Great concept :)

Interesting gameplay and quite good graphics ; controls could be more intuitive and accurate.

We would like to see more worlds and mechanics ^^

Love the design of the game. The beams are sometimes hard to spot in front of the dark background (espacially the red one), but overall it's a very nice and consistent game.
I'll check out the new content soon :)

saphyre1306 2014-09-01 09:29

Hey guys ! An update is coming this week !
Controls are going to be more intuitive, and tutorial is going to be... well, more readable :-)

dookie 2014-09-03 19:17

Awesome graphics and a neat idea. Could work well with a touch interface I suppose :)

jukimv1986 2014-09-03 19:59

Nice!! Once I got used to spinning the planets and I went into it, the game worked just as I expected and even delivered a little more with each level. Great concept and execution. Well done!

ponk 2014-09-03 20:21

Great game!
Nice meshes and cool bouncy animations

jaloko 2014-09-04 08:47

Very intuitive game. I felt rotating the planets precisely was a bit hard. Overall though great job.

aomeas 2014-09-04 09:12

As I see this "UPDATE 09/03/2014 : a new tuto, new controls, and ONE new level ! Enjoy !", I don't think you can do that after the 72 hours. I haven't played before the update, so I can't tell if you really added content to your game, but be careful with the rules, guys.
A planet in the last level doesn't need to be linked to the others, must be a bug ^_^
Otherwise, that's a simple but yet effective game! :3

igoramendola 2014-09-04 20:18

Interesting concept and fits very well with the theme :D

And like Aomeas said, be careful with the rules. It would be interesting if you make available the 2 versions: compo and post-compo.
