Wow, really unique gameplay on this one! It actually feels like I'm getting better at seeing the patterns of the different constellations as I play :star2: I'm curious about the mechanics behind discovering the right combination of stars. Great job on this
Oh nice idea. With progression, I was able to detect them faster. Good puzzle game.
Games like this are the reason why the innovation rating exists :wink:
I really like the idea

Fun game! Btw the web link also works quite well on mobile!
Found it quite relaxing, however it was hard to find some constellations at times :)

The idea is cool but playing it wasn't that intuitive to me. I gave up in the third map when I just couldn't find the pattern. I'm not sure if I should've googled the constellations to find them better? Anyways, I think this'ld be a fun way to spend some time (If my pattern recognition skills were any better).
Very interesting and unique entry, quite challenging too!

I love the mechanic for this. I know you've opted out for the category but I think some simple sounds could go a long way in a game like this, if not then some more visual feedback for finishing the constellations. I couldn't seem to get the capricorn one to work but all of the others it was quite the fun puzzle trying to see how many I could get in one night sky. Overall Very cool take of the game that was well executed.
Interesting concept for a game, especially as an astronomy enthusiast! The number of stars ramped up very quickly and it become too hard for me to find constellations after the first or second one, but I think the idea has some legs!
Pretty cool! I hope that the constellations i was learning are real ones, if thats the case: thanks! If not, thats too bad haha
I really innovative game with a really nice concept! The absence of sound kills the mood for me but the rest is great work!

Thanks for the game! It's very relaxing to just sit there and stare at the stars with no time crunch. Only sad that I couldn't find the last constellation after 3 nights of searching.

thanks for the feedback! There are some problems with pattern recognitions in game logic, espessialy in "horisontal" constellations. In any case, you can end the night when you have created at least one costellation, so you can try again with no drawback. Patterns and symbols are based on real constellations, so there is some educational aspect here)

Cool game! The fact that it's based off of real constellations is a neat touch and the pattern finding was a very unique idea, which I liked. I do think like some other people who have commented that adding sound would do quite a lot, even if it's just some simple ambience, but overall, a neat project!
