Super relaxing and pretty. I loved the presentation and the atmosphere and music were all so lovely. I solved the 4th puzzle after just a bit of shuffling!

That was gorgeous and cathartic. I could play that as a meditation! I really liked the different motion of each shape, so it was hypnotic when you paired them.
This game is beautiful! The actual puzzles weren't mind boggling or anything, but the presentation was off the charts good
The pallette looks super pretty, but I have to say I was quite confused on how to play...
A bit confusing on what I was expected to do, but the game looks solid and the audio is lovely

Loved the game with having to spot and infer groups made the game feel kind of IQ test like. An interesting puzzle experience that is rarely explored :)
I really like this style of puzzle game! Really clever idea! I like that the number of combinations possible makes this hard to brute force, though I did stumble upon some solutions with fully understanding what I did that beat level.
Overall, great work!
I like your usual "no explanations, just figure it out" approach, I think it's the way to go for the best puzzle games, and this one was very interesting. I did end up half guessing the final level, and fully guessing the one before it. I like how the levels themselves are automatically generated, I might try this again in the future.
I like the idea of venn diagrams and picking out patterns and loved the presentation of the game! The theming of seeing patterns in the stars and the relaxing music fit perfectly.
I made it to what I presume is the final level (3 mutually overlapping circles and 7 stars) but couldn't figure it out. It's a bit weird to be able to half-stumble my way to the final level but not feel like I have enough game knowledge to solve it.
I think a couple things that would have been useful are:
- Being able easily go back to previous levels to see your solution.
- Have some indication after you solve a level to confirm the pattern (either visually or through sound). There were lines connecting the stars after you clear a level, but my best guess was that the lines are somewhat arbitrarily drawn?
Overall though I liked it and love your concepts of making games about discovering the mechanics / ideas instead of presenting it through text!
Great game as always Le Slo! I wasn't able to finish it, I got stuck on level 6ish I think. Lots of same-colored stars rotating at 3 different speeds. I tried grouping by different speeds but that didn't do it. I will likely come back and try to beat it after the voting period is over!
THIS IS SO PRETTY... the music is so soothing and I love the simple shapes aesthetic. I got stuck on level 4 I think but I love it so far ^-^
I really like this game. The art is simple yet its far from bland. The music and even the sound effect fits very well with the gameplay. The puzzle procedurally generated. Its really impressive to see this kind of quality in a 48 hour game jam.
Here's some feedback from me:
- It took me some time to understand the how the game works.. Just some text in the game description asking the player to observe the stars carefully will help a lot.
- The first level only taught me to place the stars in the circle. Maybe asking the player to sort the stars by its color instead can help the player understand the mechanics better.
- There's a small bug where it's possible to pick up multiple stars at once when they are overlapping.
Great job on the game!
You turned a pretty simple concept into a great, complex game. It's nice to take a step back and think about the situation differently, and the calming music suits the game well.
First of all, this game is gorgeous. The art style is really good, while the music and sounds made it really atmospheric. Specially because it was all made during the jam!
Gameplay wise, I got really confused about what I should be doing in the first minutes of the game. I believe having some arrows indicating you to drag the stars and a few messages you help greatly.
Alas, I got stuck on level 4, but no biggie because all the rush of a game jam.
Overall a good game.
