This is such a pretty game and very calming. I actually think with a slight bit more polish and a few animations added, this could very well be released as a full title with a price tag. Great job.

It was a superb experience from start to finish everything is well tought and made, I love it kudos to Scratch for these beautiful tunes get along really well with the cute graphics, congrats team! [Here is what my endworld looks like](https://i.imgur.com/CDwZM7P.jpg)
The art was really cute, and the sound effects were nice! The intro part was interesting at first, but got pretty old in the next playthroughs. In one of the playthrough, I built pretty fast and the volcano popped out, and my game was stuck. It didn't initiate any events, and the thermometer didn't show up either. Here is a screenshot! [Capture.PNG](///raw/034/d/z/46a4a.png) But overall, great feels to the game and I enjoyed the soothing art.
I loved the art, music and animations. Really set the mood and tone of the game to be a peaceful game, even when sometimes it gets stressful. The gameplay was really mice and a lot of fun to watch as the planet evolved. I would just say to pause the timer when you play the little minigames, because it takes a lot of time up
(Spoiler)Damn, that was a cruel ending. Here I have been working my ass off to keep the planet as pristine as possible just to watch it blow up.
Great little cutscenes and the music really added to the general chill vibe the game gave. Really good job, i enjoyed it!
Cute, funny, and very chill liked it alot. A game that with invested time, could/can easily work as a much bigger game =) Did get some problems with choosing tiles after the first meteorite hit, twice the game became unresponsive and i had to reset. Other than that top notch work on everything =)
Nice mini-games
I love the guitar music so much! Also nice to see the intro animation. I think some hotkeys for picking different terrain would help. Looking forward to a more elaborated version as there is a lot of potential in it.
For me it's one of the best games on this jam so far! - Music 6/5 (+1 for using a real guitar :wink:) - Graphics 5/5 (very esthetic) - Mood 5/5 (very positive and calming)
I'm guessing you will be in top 10 in some categories! :fingers_crossed:
So pretty! It gets pretty challenging after a while. We were sad to watch our cute little planet go.
Keep it up guys!
Very cute game
I disliked the minigames, but enjoyed the rest of the game quite a bit. Great work.
@sir-onionknight @sloyka @owca @shaonde Thank you for playing and your kind comments! We're glad you liked the game
@mlkvr Thank you for playing! Did you get the happy ending? Your planet looks really pretty
@jeffrey-hwang We're so glad you played the game multiple times! From the screenshot you probably didn't have enough forest to kick up the first cutscene. The friendly aliens come after the first cutscene
@albyk Thank you for playing! The timer doesn't pause during mini games, but you can't have new catastrophes as you're playing the mini games so we thought that was fair
@appoxgames @anaxie-studio Oh no you got the sad ending :'( The planet needs a lot of inhabitants in order to win
@underlig Oh no you found a bug! We'll have to try to fix it and we'll let you know if we do!
@crescentodyssey Thank you for your comment! Hotkeys are a really good idea
Awww I loved that there were stages to the game and it was obvious that you guys put a lot of thought and details into each one! The planet is super cute and I love the little sounds it makes every once in a while. I was drawn to the art initially but stayed because I got attached to the cute little planet! :)
The start of the game was my fav part. Then, a planet winked me. Nice game
Very cute game! I especially loved the artstyle and the music ! Good job /o/
Wow, I love, love, LOVE this game! It's so incredibly cozy! I haven't felt this much warmth since Kirby's Epic Yarn 😮
I subscribe 100 % to what @owca said!
@lucywang Thank you so much! we're glad you liked this little world!
@alex-aspa The start of the game is really relaxing. We didn't make it clear enough, but if you click on the planet tiles, you can add biomes to it
@snowpriestess Thank you so much! It means a lot to me coming from you! I love your art !!
@purrseus Your comment made our day! We're happy you liked it, thank you for playing !
lovely guitar sounds and gorgeous art you took the time to make an introduction and cutscenes that's rare in gamejams + they are very well made and set up the tone quite well ! I had one bug on my first playthrough where my mouse could not interact with the planet but my second playthrough made it to the end. Good job everyone !
Beautiful game! Love the evolving narrative and gameplay.
Nice way of starting the game. I also liked the overall cuteness.
The minigames on the other hand were a little bit annoying after a while.
The music was relaxing and it fits well to the gameplay. I finished the game with the laser shot. It was a nice experience :)
@faby Thanks! Yeah we had a fun time making these cutscenes! Sorry about this pesky bug, we've been chasing it on the rare free-time we've had since the end of the jam but couldn't find a solution yet...
@brads-space Thank you!
@lllarso Thanks for your feedback! Happy that you got the good ending!
This is such a cute game! Unfortunately did not get the good ending but I can see myself picking this up again to try for it.
The art and UI does a great job at guiding the player without a lot of tutorializing needed, though if you go for a full release with this, then it may be a good idea to have a "starter planet" tutorial to explain some of the more intricate mechanics, as they weren't as quick to pick up naturally.
The way you have to collect rocks to build the planet gave me Katamari vibes, which I think could lead to an interesting concept for progression. Like building bigger planets for new civilizations with their own technologies to support you.
Really great entry here! Hope to see if you guys flesh it out further.
@deprecat Thanks for your feedback! You're right for the tutorial, next jam we'll definitively reserve some time to make a proper tutorial if we go with a "complex" gameplay!
Great art, music and story. But gameplay is a bit confusing, and I suspect, buggy. I only could igure how to do forest rain minigame. And do I need low or high value on thermometer?
Very athmospheric game! Cutscenes & animations are very cute! Liked the gameflow
But for some reason after a while I couln't do any changes to my world.. Still, I got a pleasure playing this!
Wow! That is really polished and great game! Graphics and audio are well made and match each other. Very good entry! Good job! :D
