How does your game fit the theme?
The astronaut is helpless in space, so out of control. Also if we go a bit deeper, the game is more about letting things happen rather than controlling what's happening.

very relaxing game
cool concept to create planets to get astronaut back home. i like it
great little game, i had some fun with it :)
This is awesome! Liked the concept, the graphics, the audio. It is hard, but we even have an inidcator for the direction which is cool and a great help. There is even a relax mode which is still enjoyable, so it shows how cool the concept is.
At first I was hoping the game wouldn't need an indicator at first since it can be tricky to get right sometimes, but I'm glad I did it in the end. It really makes a difference.
I'm glad you liked the relax mode, that's how I imagined the game at first, the earth goal came later (well since it's a 48h long project, later means 15min, but still !).
Very interesting concept and even more cool is the art style, guess you could say it's out of this world
I love that you can hit stars in the background and they move along with you, very cool
Man, this is freacking neat. Honestly is the best game i'v played in this jam so far and i don't think that other can beat it. Glad to play it <3
This is beautifully done, the audio is gorgeous and fitting, it was easy to understand and overall a nice chill time. Thank you and good work!
I had a lot of fun playing this game. Trying to control an out of control astronaut with other planets gravity was a great idea. Great job!
Overall, a relaxing experience. I’ve seen lots of gravity based games where using orbits and sling-shotting is key, but I will admit that I’ve never seen one quite this mellow. The sound design is excellent, with a pleasant background tune punctuated by chords when the player creates or destroys a planet. It has a simple and clean look, which works in its favor. I did have several instances where I didn’t have to do anything to win a round, but because of the laid-back feel of the whole game I couldn’t tell if that was intentional or not. Rated.
Ahah yeah I figured it wouldn't really be a problem if sometimes the player doesn't have to do anything to win. I indeed even liked it when playtesting. Glad you liked it !
Great work! I rated it and enjoyed playing it. Would you mind rating mine?
Will do !
I love the art. Creative idea, but the audio was a little weird with headphones. Also, the planet destroying noise is a bit off setting, but besides that, the audio is wonderful.
Thanks for you feedbacks. Yeah I forgot to turn the planet ambiant sounds mono, I can see how it can be weird with headphones :(
I also wasn't sure about the destroying noise, but I grew to like it after all. I never know in this case if it's still a bad sound but I am getting used to it, or if it's a great sound that I found weird at first since I know how it's made.
I loved the calming vibe you created. That astronaut is lost in space, but he's chill, he knows I have this under control :) Even though he is out of control! Clever. This is the best presentation I've seen yet!
I love the gameplay and all the attention to detail!
I like the way you place planets in different sizes, but sometimes it's not predictable were the astronaut will fly and if he is in the radius of the planet. Maybe there you can add a little indicator. What I don't understand is that you can't remove some planets, maybe I'm just too stupid. Its funny that we more or less had a simillar game idea : )
The planet kind of wiggle while the astronaut is orbiting it, but it's very subtle. I could have added somethig else yeah.
You can't remove a planet while the astronaut is orbiting it (in "play" mode, in "relax" mode you can do whatever you want), it's probably what's bothering you.
I'll check yours !
Nice job with the procedural music!!! It was also pretty cool to kinda wait for just the right moment to get the next planet down to get the lil guy to move in just the right direction
I struggled with the controls a little, finding it difficult and slightly frustrating to actually intuit where the line will go.
But...
Damn, this is gorgeous. The presentation here is stellar. The moment I put a planet down and heard the piano I knew I liked it. The little details like the stars moving slightly and the way planets puff away like clouds are so lovely. I love the name and the whole low-key vibe everything gives off.
I'd love to play a version of this where the controls work a bit better, as at the moment that's the only thing I feel that stops it coming together perfectly. Really nice work!
Really cool game, I like the use of the piano and music too!
