Very neat interpretation of the theme! First time seeing a puzzler built around drawing a pattern and the intersection mechanic made it even more unique. And a solo project in 48 hours -- that's impressive!

Some feedback on the instructions: I did have a bit of trouble understanding why the intersection to create new stars wasn't working, because I didn't realize I needed to finish a constellation in order to spawn the new stars. It was also a bit confusing on that level that I stopped being able to draw lines when both galaxies had been used, but the previous level stated that I could reuse galaxies?

Thanks! And that's really good feedback, tbh the prompts at the top were kind of a last minute addition and I didn't put in as much thought into them as I should have. I'll definitely need to keep these 2 things in mind and teach those to the player!

Just added some instructions on the game page on how to play the game based on your feedback. I'll implement it in game after the jam is done! Thanks again :)

Super interesting game ! You went in a very different direction than most people, that makes your game very unique. I could easily see this game as an educational one to teach the shapes of real constellations ! Congratulations

Thanks a lot! Yea I was actually just playing around when I thought about the mechanic of creating stars from intersecting lines accidentally and decided to try it out!
