This is such a unique and interesting puzzle game.  I was a little confused at first, but then as I got the hang of it, I really loved it.  This is really great and I hope you get a chance to continue working on it.

There is a bit of a learning curve but after that it is an incredibly fun game. The mechanics are all well done and the style is super charming. Congratulations on making a great game!

At first I confused about how to play but it was fun to play and serving smooth gameplay. I also liked the animated part at start. Good job!

Awesome game mechanics, that is really fun. Top marks for this. Also loved the art style.

TY :D!

I managed to softlock myself by running out of black holes to get stuff from, but that's mostly a me problem. Very cool game, and well polished. I just wished it was a bit easier.

Developer

Ye true. I should of put a game over right away. Because right now it just waits until you loose all your lives.

Submitted

I dunno if that's the right idea either, could make it very sudden and confusing. I don't know how to solve it tbh. Also I remember that I had some issues with the last of the info screens at the start, it felt very buggy like if I clicked it or tried closing it (maybe because I didn't click directly on it), sometimes if just felt frozen.

Developer

omg i though i fixed it. woops :P

Very cool game. It took me a bit to figure out how everything worked, but I was able to win on my 3rd try I think it was. Once I realized you cold hold multiple things it was really fun to optimize getting the people their requests. Great job on this I really enjoyed playing thru it!

Submitted

fun concept and fun game, maybe make the mixing os a lil finicky but i love it!

Submitted

This is a pretty unusual game. This is the first time I've seen such mechanics, and I really liked it. The art of the game is very cool)

Submitted(+1)

The art is very charming, the intro is very cool and sets a fun hook for the game. I agree with Loten about maybe breaking the tutorial a little but overall very interesting concept. I had some trouble where often I wanted to combine only two powder but 3 would combine instead. Maybe some cursor indicating what is going to combine may be an interesting helper to add.

Submitted

Fun and addicting game! I'll have to come back to finish it after I'm done rating games. Your tutorial is quite intimidating. Consider teaching a little as the player plays, instead of giving all the info upfront. It made much more sense while playing, and I learned quickly. Fantastic job overall!

Not smart enough for your game )

Strangly, can't move with WASD...

Submitted(+1)

The concept is something like an old flash game but with much better graphics. The intro and tutorial texts felt a bit too long, but the game was interesting non the less.

Submitted

I like the idea of combining and selling stuff and art is cute! I especially like the animations. I encountered some technical issues tho. For example, the second time I relaunched the game I couldn't move at all. Also, I accidentally gave all my stuff away and was left with empty area. Luckily now I know what I did wrong (should've kept my black hole lol).

This is such a cool game. At first I was completely confused, but once I got the hang of it it was amazing. The sound design is soooo cool as well. Love everything about this submission! So much potential in this game.

Submitted

The concept and visuals are very abstract!
Really fun!

This was super fun! The controls page was initially very intimidating, but it didn't take too long to beat. Even in this short game you had a great sense of progression and I could feel the pressure building as a played more, The game became a manic scramble to keep producing black holes to keep up my resources while fulfilling my orders. Had a great time! I'm not sure how you'll expand this but this is a great little game!

This is some very interesting concept.  I enjoyed going thru the portals and searching for the right objects. :)
