Loved the Graphics. Warp and Energy did not feel like anything when i upgraded them but the Core and Reactor were very powerfull. I did not understand the reason of the planets because it felt like they did nothing. The voiceacting for explaining was an awsome touch, keep on working on the game that you got there and do not let it die. Its too good to just not working on it anymore.

Wonderful atmospheric game ! It's really a nice and calm experience ! Such a nice mood ! Audio is really cool, graphics are simple but nice (reminds me of Undertale !), and the overall calm an chill gameplay really seal the deal. Pretty cool entry ;)

@dracodi The warp and energy upgrades are definitely under-powered with the current balance. You can cast light on the planets to grow them and they generate money. I'll probably create another build that fixes some of these things.

@raivk Thank you! I'm honored that you would compare Star in a Jar to a masterpiece like Undertale haha

Liked the planets! even though it was explained with the voiceovers, I still had some difficulty understanding what the different powerups did (mix of not paying attention and a bit harder to hear for me). I liked how the planets got in the way of sending light as you would eventually destroy them. Keep up the good work!

Interesting game, it remind clicker games, which are not my kind, but there are many good points, and I did not expect so much content at the start, so I was pleasantly surprised, you should maybe add screenshots on the pages!
