itch.io link doesn't work =(

@johny0911 sorry about that, should be fixed right now. Thank you for helping me notice this!

sengi 2021-04-27 04:18

@bruno-moraes I messed up the upload, thank you for pointing it out! Should be good now.

I really liked the mood due to the combination of visual art and music. Very cool!

Beautiful game! Loved the atmosphere and the music and it was satisfying to finally finding the right star combinations for the different memories. It took quite a few tries to finally beat it so it would have been nice to skip the opening animation after the first try to immediately get back into playing the game.

@seanlim Thank you! Yes, you're right about skipping the cutscene, seems like an easy solution for the problem that you can't come up with in the process of actual development haha

I really do like visual style of yours! The puzzles are intuitive this is cool.

Ok this game made me cry. The atmosphere is breathtaking. Helping this man finding his way out of his sorrow with simple things like love, music and inspiration, beautifully represented by constellations was so moving. Really my favorite entry so far. The only problem i see is that it doesn't go deeper and deeper, but to be fair, that's not what you want when you have to fight depression.

A beautiful game, well done!

Beautiful atmosphere. It's the first game I try this ludum dare and I'm impressed by the graphic and scenery work. I'm a bit frustrated though because I only saw the cut scene. Maybe sleep is what I need, I'll try again tomorrow ;)

It looks really beautiful. It wasn't clear what I needed to do at first, but once I figured it out it was pretty simple Vert sensitive topic though, maybe add a disclamer?

Wow, I am impressed :heart_eyes:! This is so far the best entry I've played in terms of how it made me feel by playing it. Dark room, headphones, full screen... it actually brought tears in my eyes when I made it through. Such a lovely vignette. The visuals, the music, subtle sound effects when pressing stars, it all just fits together so well.

I would love to see this further developed. Maybe it could simply be a series of small moments like these from lives of different people with different tasks to perform to progress. Thank you for this game, keep up the great work you are doing!

Quite the experience here.

Lovely mood, and a simple concept that weaves a story without words.

Well polished and rounded out with good audio and vfx.

Nicely done!

Looks very pretty, nice self-explanatory puzzle mechanic, and what a vibe! Clement's music is particularly great too (#MusicWeeklies represent!)

I liked the idea a lot as it really does stand out from most ideas.

Also like the mood a lot, but somehow I am missing the direct link theme a bit.

Nonetheless a nice game.

Wonderful aesthetics, nice gameplay and a clever take on the theme - great job! :)
