That was something... Never thought it'd be hard Very solid game

Nice sound and idea, nice visuals. The gameplay isn’t very complex, but it’s not off-putting either. It was interesting to look for constellations — cool, thank you :)

A very peaceful game with excellent visuals and pleasant sound design. The simple gameplay only adds to its meditative feel. Great vibe overall.

Very chill and really nice execution of the idea. Some constilations were challanging to get in one line. I liked that. Only thing: I wanted to directly start over but needed to first start another constilation. An abort button would be nice.

I enjoyed the time with this game. A really good entry.

Pretty interesting concept, and well executed. Only issue is if I deselected an individual star, I couldn't re-select it unless I first did the deselect all command.

really cool little game. the only issue i see are the menu buttons. "Restart" behaves like a reset by clearing the stars. Then "Reset Progress" restarts the whole game...with only one level this language is confusing. I think one menu button to go to the beginning of the game is needed especially since right click clears the star selections.

I like the graphics and audio. Very good submission

I've connected all the dots! It feels like such a healing and chill little game, perfect for parents and kids to play together, haha.

I really love the different selection effects and sound effects the game has created for each star sign; they feel very calming and sound lovely.

Lovely game, could be a nice one-evening puzzle with light story if added a few more levels

Cool vibes with some solid artwork. Nice job on the audio. The gameplay was also harder than I thought it would be, it was quite interesting. I would only wish for it to be a little bit more relevant to the "Signal" theme, hovering over the star to hear their sound was not really an important mechanic since it was pretty obvious which stars are in the same group.

Good job overall!

I love the graphics and animations! I found it pretty challenging to get the constellations to line up, and for my taste, the first text boxes could have been a bit faster. But other than that, it’s a really great idea for the theme!

lohii 2026-04-27 14:53

Wow, what vibes. The idea is great, and actually connecting the stars was fun. I'm a bit disappointed that the signal aspect seemed irrelevant. Listening to similar ones did not help me actually connect the constellations, and they were distant enough from each other that there was never confusion which ones were distinct groups. Still, a very cool and moody experience.

Solid entry, amazing work! Such a simple idea of matching what's on the notebook but executed so well! Loved that it develops into a filled picture once you complete a constellation. Also really liked how the stars are grouped by different music themes with own indicator style, reminds me of Outer Wilds.

Had this sense of exploration, I enjoyed it.

joegreen 2026-04-28 17:34

Found all the figures. It looks and sounds so mysterious that I didn't understand a thing, but I was really intrigued 😁

peped 2026-04-29 17:00

@marks Thanks for the feedback! We actually came up with this idea for gameplay from two games: Sandrock (star finding minigame) and Outer Wilds, love this game so much!

kkkyia 2026-05-03 13:33

I really love this theme! The sound effects and star visuals are stunning😄Thank you for your game!

allax 2026-05-03 16:58

Some of the constellations were very difficult to recognize, but I managed, thank you, it was a great experience!

chuchugeralt 2026-05-03 17:41

Really nice entry! I loved the mood created by the music, and the core idea is great. As others mentioned, some constellations were a bit hard to figure out because the shapes felt a little unconventional. But I guess that's just the authentic astronomy experience, right? Great work!

marcus-otterstrom 2026-05-03 17:59

Very polished game! Simple mechanic idea that is surprisingly difficult. I struggled with the last two (bed and gift) because I was trying to make them on the other remaining one, and doing a pretty good job I thought! But it became easier once I tried the correct spots for them :smile:

nadan 2026-05-03 21:09

Great stuff! Super nice artwork, lovely sound, cool idea. I actually think you could expand this into full game, if you add couple more mechanics. I'd buy it, I love star gazing :smile:

okkolobr 2026-05-03 22:58

What a nice relaxing game there ! I have to admit I paused in searching constellation just to listen to the stars song. Nice game !

jordantanner 2026-05-04 03:23

You guys really captured a moment with this game! You created an immersive and unique atmosphere that was calming and matches the relaxed nature of the gameplay perfectly. The audio and music were superb also -- hats off to the composer on the team. Game design was clever use of the theme and a nice relaxed difficulty that worked great for a jam game I thought. A quick, polished, complete experience. Very very nice, congrats!!~

venomousmouse 2026-05-04 07:07

Great visuals and sound. Very cool idea. Great game.

the1 2026-05-04 09:14

very nice atmospheric puzzle game. Definitely add more after jam!

brolga 2026-05-04 11:07

Awesome game, I'm a huge fan of the music tho a bit loud at times was right up my alley, super good work!

tetracold 2026-05-04 15:27

the presentation is great, I really liked how all the stars had their own frequency/vibration and sound. It's also cool that there is a drawing attached to the constellation once you connect it

The gameplay is on the simpler side but I did enjoy figuring out which constellations matched the drawing, I really appreciate that they kept the same orientation as the drawings that really helped a lot!

the sound effects are a bit loud, i really appreciate that there was an option to lower their volume

indiepanda 2026-05-05 08:52

Looks good. Very cool idea.

ming-xu 2026-05-06 12:14

The game is very creative and the art style is great!
