Oh. My. Goodness. That is one of the most visually beautiful games I have EVER seen. That's some Ori and the Blind Forest level visuals. Wow. There's still one thing I didn't quite understand: the controls. Sometimes the matter just spilled everywhere and sometimes it just stopped following.
But overall, that is an absolutely gorgeous game!
Okay the visuals are amazing and I just thought to myself "How?", but I am very confused on how to play the game...

Thanks :) I should have probably made it a bit more clearer. By clicking you make force fields with limited range, so to move you have to put them in close distances.

Nice visual and relaxing music but as say before quite difficult at first. I stop in a level where I didn't find my way through the obstacles (the 5th or 6th I think).

Visually pleasing and the graphics/effects alone are a reason to stay and tinker with the gameplay :)
Wow. Visuals and audio are so beautiful. Love that
I got stuck on the second level without any idea how to finish it. Maybe you could make some more intuitive controls :wink:

I also thought about drag mechanism, it should be more intuitive. Thanks for feedback :)
Amazing particles, it is clearly visible how much you've been practising making them. I love the vibe, too.
Great work, Manus!

Beautiful game. The visuals and music are extraordinary. Controls are a bit unintuitive and could benefit from more detailed explaination. Also the black hole finding through clicking away and "exploding" the particles is great, but you're unable to detect any black holes that are further away because the particles are too slow. But overall I really loved it!

:sparkles: WOW! What a beautiful game! :sparkles: I would like it to be a full game in the future! Some mechanics are unintuitive, but you can get used to them. Black holes could be more visible :rotating_light: when the light touches them. And this philosophical plot! Good luck! :thumbsup:

That looks amazing! Give me moooore! Maybe add a tutorial. But most of all, keep up the good work!
This is really great! Very creative, awesome particles and this soundtrack... WOW!
Excellent particle work! The visuals are simple and minimal but the gorgeous particles really make it shine. The music is great as well. The message ties into the theme well but the gameplay not so much. One suggestion I have is for the money to be only partially illuminated when it still needs more life energy. Very stylish game here - great job!
Seems like a fun game. I couldn't quite figure out what to do on the second level. I tried what it said to do and then tried a bunch of other ways as well but couldn't quite get it.

Very confusing but fun/mildly infuriating game. Looks phenomenal!
Amazing graphics and audio. The gameplay is a bit confusing, but still engaging. It's a really unique, beautiful game. Great job! :D

This an pretty interesting puzzle game. The visuals art style and the music is really amazing. The controls is okay, but it needs a better introduction, and it is not always super easy to control the stream. The intro text was okay, but it changes too fast for me, and I would also have liked some voice over for text. I am not sure if the story and the gameplay idea fits super well together, but perhaps I misunderstood something. But overall is this a really good LD game. Well done.

The visuals are quite magical! I didn't quite see the connection with the theme here (except for the naming conventions and the final statement after beating the game) but that didn't stop me from being kinda impressed! The simple premise and equally simple controls make this a very good jam game. Honestly, I could see a game like this being popular on mobile devices.
