Beautiful game, very relaxing, i love this kind of game where you can get lost in the visual and it feel good to just take some time to contemplate amazing pattern, great job

Very nice and relaxing game. Unique concept and stylish execution bundle it all into a solid package. Well done!

simple but super relaxing! I really enjoy the different stars that I make. BGM really fits.

Excellent game! Very beautiful visuals and such a nice idea for the theme. The music fits perfectly, and have I said it yet, gorgeous visual effects. My favourite game so far!

I am not sure i fully understood the rules for creating stars, nevertheless this was a really pleasing experience. I really enjoyed the relaxing music. Thank you for your game

I did not really understand how the game works, but it was very pretty and the atmosphere was very smooth:)

A very relaying game :smiley:! I really tryed to get every possible star. Good job :thumbsup:!

Art of the game is great, but for me the gameplay is still a little bit confusing, maybe something to indicate which colors to merge or what to do next would help.

Nice one! Art is great and gameplay is solid and relaxing. Rules are a little confusing though. Maybe you should show some of them in game, before the start.

Best music I've heard in a submission so far, very relaxing and goes with the mood very well. It was simple but pretty and nicely done

Although i dont really understand the gameplay all that well, super relaxing game with a stellar soundtrack!

gnappuraz 2019-10-13 14:49

Great game, a lot of discovery and a super nice music!

team-on 2019-10-14 15:19

Relaxing one. Miss some guidebook what combination I can do

alexsogge 2019-10-15 09:31

Don't know what i did but it was amazing :)

bernardex 2019-10-16 02:05

Fantastic. I didn't understand a single dime what i was doing, but it was a wonderful experience of discovery in the universe you crafted. Thank you very much. Higher stars Sound FX volume would be awesome!

kenster 2019-10-16 02:07

I liked the music, very calming and nice. I felt the gameplay had a bit lacking though it was definitely interesting for a short time span

souldzin 2019-10-16 02:16

What a fantastic and beautiful submission!

I love this approach to "Start with nothing" (not even an objective), but this really gave the player a sense of wonder and discovery. Great work!

daniil-krylov 2019-10-17 08:23

Beautiful and relaxing experience, perfectly fit the theme. Additional bonus for html)

Love you visuals but have to call my gf to figure out how to play.

kiryu 2019-10-18 20:20

Really relaxing and nice atmosphere. I think it is possible to arrange the stars in a way, that they keep each other alive. But I didn't figure it out. But still nice job!

philomory 2019-10-20 05:47

This is really neat, nice and relaxing. I figured out what _some_ of the stars did, but I don't think I solved the whole mystery (in particular I don't have a very clear idea what the red suns are for). In any case, everything I saw worked together well and it was just overall a nice experience. Thanks!

Edit: After playing some more, I wasn't even close to done! I'm still not.

I think it might be nice if the stars stuck around longer, so you have a chance to consider what you want to merge them with. As it stands, I feel like I need to plan everything out ahead of time if I want to manage the right combinations before some of the stars disappear.

Very interesting. I also made a game called "Ex Nihilo", and it's kind of similar in theme actually.
