Best one so far. The design is simple and perfect. It's crazy how addictive it is to try to optimize the satellite placement. Great job. I love it.

Loved this so much, I played through all the levels. It's really creative and a perfect fit for the jam. This mechanic could fit really well as part of a strategy game or something. Just really well executed in general.

I would have loved to have the full solar system as a level.

Cool game really enjoyed the game and find a it a neat entry to the jam ^^ well done. only thing I coudl critizise really is that I had some performance issues on the level with a lot of orbits which persistet even after completing that level. But still this is a minor inconveniance good job :smiley:

This is so simple yet so much fun. One of the best games, right above 90% of all games that were submitted. I even think, how couldn't I come up with such a simple and genius idea Thank you for submission!!

I took me a bit to figure out how to play, but once it clicked it was really enjoyable. Super chill vibe. It'd be nice if there was an initial preview of how things would move so I can plan things out a little better. The level progression/difficulty was great too!

Very cool concept, and executed beautifully!

My main critiques are just a couple gripes about the UI. First, it would be really nice to have the option to fine tune placement by clicking and dragging objects instead of just sending them back to the inventory on click. Second, when placing objects from beyond their maximum range, it would be helpful if the connection lines originated from the point they will actually be placed, not the location of the cursor.

Neither of these critiques kept me from enjoying the game though. Amazing work!

Nice concept

fascinating idea and gameplay, I love the concept and somehow i think the best solution requires some sort of math calculation((which I did not do lol)) still very fun to play!

Very nice game. The explanations are sufficient in game and the dificulty scale well. 10/10 recomands !

Nice puzzle with relaxing music. Couple of first levels was a little hard as an introduction tbh

Had a lot of fun playing, not seen any other puzzle game like this so far. cool entry.

Reminds me of my KSP days, very enjoyable game !

Very nice puzzle that I've never seen before. Also much harder than I expected it to be in a good way. I did feel a bit like I was brute forcing it sometimes but I think there was some method to the madness. I do agree with what Ben said that some quality of life UI stuff would have been nice but otherwise, I had fun with it.

Really liked the music, thought the art fit the theme and style of game very well. One issue I did have was at first I thought I needed to have constant uptime

As others are saying, very nice entry! Enjoyed it from start to finish and completed all levels. The graphics are very clean as well! A minor thing (I'm being really picky now because I enjoyed it otherwise) are the radio towers that are placed on the planet surface. As they snap to the surface when being placed, it would be great if the connections to other signal sources would also show to connect to the surface during placement, and not to the cursor position. Otherwise I found it hard to place them in the optimal distance. But all in all, amazing and impressive game!

really good puzzle game. gameplay is quite unique and challenging, and it has a plenty of cool concepts to tinker with.

Congratulations on the third place!

This was nice, clean and simple game concept with puzzles that make you scratch your head. Music is serene, so it's not stressing at all to settle the orbits in peace.

Also, genious idea of speedrun time scoreboards in a game where there's no actual rushing to make things!
