Adored all the little details! Thing like being able to accidentally fling people off the planets and things ha ha. So cute in a cosmic horror kind of way :P

Cool looking game with lots of small details, did not fully understand how to sell planets, leveled-up only by accident asteroids

I liked how peaceful this game was. There wasn't a lot of time to react to some of the asteroids that came in from the top, but after having so many planets bringing in the prayers, it wasn't anything to worry about 0:D

Very relaxing and nice looking game, I'm really into this concept - I never knew that I wanted a space garden :D

I liked the art style in this game and I think the adaption to the theme is great! I think it would have been good with a little higher pace in the beginning of the game, just to get going a bit quicker. Overall I think it's a really nice game!

Nice matching with the theme, interesting idea, pretty and apposite UI. Good job!

I really like the concept ! The UI is good, it's smooth and relaxing to play. Very satisfaying to have "my" own little fortress :D

So many small hidden details in this game, I love it! Feels like a great foundation to expand upon beyond this jam.

I'm a sucker for space simulations, and felt having these planets movement simulated would add to some of the incremental "chaos". If you're clicking away asteroids, why not also "click to correct" the planet simulation as well? They inherently achieve drift over time; it might be a fun added mechanic.

I think I may have overdone it a little :D Once I figured out that the asteroids collide with the suns I knew what I had to do. And after my people were safe from outside dangers (but also trapped and doomed to never explore the rest of the universe) I started cramming all their planets into a single spot. That way I was able to water a lot of planets all at once. That was really fun!

Really polished and juicy effects! The graphics were nice and I liked the concept -awesome work! :D

Nice and relaxing game with some funny interactions

i really liked the idea of this game, and how it's really easy to learn. however, i found that past some point, it gets less and less fun to play, it's just harvesting planets and clicking on asteroids. went to level 17 tho! nice game!

Just super solid all round. Fab concept executed to a super high level. Think this is one that could be expanded on post jam. Brilliant job.

Wow this is one of my favourites of the jam so far. Super fun and compelling, great to look at and listen to, satisfying... I played till level 30 :sweat_smile:

matt-rix 2023-01-22 06:19

This is really fun and figuring out you could use the suns as protection from meteors was satisfying :)

Very addictive! would love to see a full version! And congrats for the 20th score.
