What a wonderful game! I love puzzles!

Cool little game that fit well with the theme !

Maybe I'd liked a indicator with the two inputs shown when we arrive to the first planet. I found out about the right click after the third one but its written in the description so that's a me problem :sweat_smile:. I also found the difficulty inequal between the planets, Some a very defficult and then I unlock a very easy one. I wish it was more progressive.

I love the aesthetic of this; it's very soothing! I did find the puzzles sometimes came down to trial and error, though, where shifting the satellites slightly to the side was the difference between failure and success. None of it was too difficult, though, and I had a good time overall.

Just finished your game! Planets are graphically amazing (did you use some custom shaders?) and the gameplay is nice! Maybe a short tutorial could have been perfect but I understood everything anyway sooo congrats!! :unicorn:

The way you handled the theme is very poetic.

An incredibly beautiful game. I really enjoyed the beautiful, smooth transitions and the beauty of the planets. I especially fell in love with the planet the color of gasoline in a puddle - The Shimmer.

But I didn't quite understand the logic behind the satellite rotations. When I wanted to turn in a certain direction, I guessed wrong, and the satellites spun in the wrong direction. I think that's where the game's main difficulty lies.

Thanks for a great game!

Very smooth and beautiful game. Great job!

Cool puzzle game. at the beginning it was hard to understand you have to rotate the planet & the satelites to get the right allignment. but once i got that it was fun. good job.

Interesting idea

I really liked the style of the game and how the map expands as you complete levels. great little puzzle game.

This was neat, the atmosphere and presentation was cool. I liked begin able to fidget with the satellites as I worked out what was going on. Ironically I found the later levels easier, I guess since there were so many elements that _could_ line up, it seemed more likely that things would accidentally line up! I kept clicking check and expecting it to not be close enough, but I'd pass anyway. So there were some cases where I felt like I hadn't really figured out the gimmick of the planet yet but the game handed it to me. Solid entry though, nice job!

Got stuck in purple planet, got me a while to complete it. Only at the end I understood that I can, in some way, rotate satellites (I forgor I was on spheres all the time 💀). Really liked appearance of these procedural planets (especially, planets with rings)

Sound was a little bit disturbing, and maybe I expected more radio/music from it? maybe some old timey looped songs when I correctly established signal on a planet (more % = less noise for example)

But overall it was fun playing this game. Thanks!

Great, good puzzle game. The planets are beautiful, and I love this space theme. It was complicated at the beginning, I struggled a lot with the first 3 planets, but after understanding the rotation well, the rest was relatively easy. I think you have a good game here, practically complete.

A very good geometric puzzle! Everything is done at the highest level!

euler-moises 2026-04-23 23:07

You know I love games that use audio as a mechanic, right?

I had a little trouble figuring out whether I should follow the sounds of the planets or the signs. In the end, everything worked out!

Congratulations, friend!

Maybe some of the best planets I've seen. Beautiful.

I wish escape did something. I had no way to exit the game early, so some UI would go a long way.

I loved the presentation here but my rotation skills are indeed subpar. Liked the idea, wish I could utilize middle mouse or some other rotation mechanics, but maybe I missed something.

I'm so impressed by your planet shader, it's stunning !

The gameplay is cool. Nice little puzzle game, perfect concept for a jam.

I wish the satellite rotation was easier to handle on the different axis, it's a bit weird

Nice work !

It's a very enjoyable game. I passed with pleasure. It's even difficult to say something additional.

xparker 2026-04-26 13:24

Awesome puzzle game. I couldn't figure out one planet in about the 4th batch. Are they randomly generated or fixed "levels"?

allax 2026-04-29 21:18

It was funny, but I didn't quite understand what exactly the game wanted me to do. Symmetry in the distance between all the satellites? The mechanics are too complicated.

Very cool game! Rotating can sometimes be a bit fiddly, but the levels are forgiving enough so thats not much of an issue. I also got a bit hang up by the fact that purple means two signals, because in one of the last levels I instead thought purple satellites should be connected to purple senders (I somehow ignored the correct interpretation in the previous levels :smile:) Otherwise fantastic entry! Very cool level selection screen and loved the radio audio at the end!
