May have had promise but I can't get over how painful it is every time an asteroid comes by. That was slowed way too much.

An interesting idea here... I like the design, but I found the controls hard to use. It's tough to do such an exact task -- like pounding nails with a sledgehammer! It might be easier if the chemicals drifted around randomly a little more, so you had better odds of finding them outside of groups.

Good stuff!

The funny thing is that is the game I spent the most time... but not able to understand how to play :))) I like the visual so much, and the idea to create a star... so I tried tried... Nice like playing a ZX Spectrum game without the manual :)

Nice idea! The particle effects are very pleasing. That asteroid is pretty frustrating though. :D

Cool mechanics and a nice chill vibe. Not sure I've seen a game's instructions warn "BE GENTLE" before, but I liked the careful touch required. Soundtrack really added to the feel.

Nice work. My best star was Grade B.

At first, I found it incredibly difficult to get anything in the center, and I was confused how the target percentage worked. So I got zero points.

I tried a bit more, and felt like I was doing well getting stuff into the center, then an asteroid came along and threw everything out of the circle! So I got zero points again. Wtf. The asteroid defeats the purpose of doing anything.

Very cool idea, although it took me around ten rounds to understand how to really play. Also the random asteroid is quite unfair.

interesting idea... although the controls being so indirect make it very difficult to actually control specifically what does in and what stays out. and the asteroids are annoying :)

Simple and fun. Great music, good graphics.

A good idea for a game. Its well put together with good music.

The asteroid was an... interesting design choice.

Interesting game idea but i found it a too difficult to control what goes in the circle, and then comets come and mess everything up further.

I made a star :)

Yeah the asteroid coming right through the middle really messed things up pretty often. I like the idea though and the particle spam was top notch ;)

I managed to make a star on my first try, but it was very difficult to position the particles inside the centre circle. Would have been great to get some kind of feedback when you are doing something correct.
