Nice game! And congratulations on your first jam game! My biggest issue is that I went through most of the game without really knowing how the mechanic worked, so making the tutorial clearer and more specific (e.g. 1 Lava + 1 Water = 1 Land, 2 is max for each stat) would go a long way.
Really cool concept, and cute game. Great work.
Love the theme! Gameplay was fun, but I ran into an issue where I couldn't click on any of the planets after selecting a card.
Thanks for playing! :) Now that the jam is over, we just released an update with those major bugs fixed. If you liked it, feel free to give it another shot!
Writing was funny, definitely my favourite part of the game.
Game has some nice puzzles, unfortunately the last one was too hard for me (but hey, it's the last puzzle, so it should be hard). Maybe crank up difficulty before the puzzle a bit, so it leads players more to solution in the last puzzle. But balancing game is always hard, so no worries about the game.
Really love the concept of this game,the planet mechanism is pretty cool,great job!
Thanks for playing! :)
I really liked the concept and gameplay! Sadly I ran into the same bug mentioned in the comments. Congrats on getting your game featured on the livestream!
Thank you and thanks for playing! :) We’re going to fix the bugs after the jam if you feel like giving it another shot later!

There were a few times that the game wasn't doing what I was telling it to do, or there are some mechanics that aren't explained in this game... I got stuck sadly...
Featured on today's livestream!!
Thanks for playing and streaming! :) Yeah it looks like you ran into the bug that’s been haunting me all week, and there are some things we wanted to make clearer but ran out of time unfortunately. Thanks for sticking with it almost to the end at least!

I couldn't get past the chaos planet level, but I really liked the concept of playing element cards to influence planets.
Would have loved to see more type of cards, but we all know how jams are with the limited time. :)
Thanks for playing! :) Yeah we had to cut a lot of ideas for time, but we’re planning to release a more expanded polished version later!
Interesting concept! Also I was vibing on the music. GG
Thanks for playing! :)
Great game ! Had fun with the puzzles and the music ! Well done :)

Great game! Fun puzzles and nice music!
Thank you for playing! :)
fun puzzle mechanics! perhaps needed a little bit better visual language about the different planet types and resource amounts, though.
I would apprieciate a play & review of my game if you have the time.
Thanks for playing! :)
Loved the music. Gameplay was fun, very interesting concept. Ran into a point where I couldn't progress once I got to the +2 cards, but up to that point I really enjoyed it. Congrats and good luck!
Thanks for playing! :)
Interesting game. The concept of using cards to alter planets is really unique, it could be expanded upon to be really cool! I couldn't get past the medium-sized chaos planet level though, not entirely sure what to do, though that's probably just a skill issue.
Thanks for playing!
Great concept and quirky writing, liked the game very much! I wish there were more named indications of what state the planet is, not just stats meters, but that's not a flaw, that's merely a suggestion, if you ever expand on the idea.
Thanks for playing! :)
Good job, I like the card mechanic, so much can be done with that. I hope you make an expanded post-jam version.
Thank you so much and thanks for playing! :) We are definitely planning to release an update with bug fixes after the jam is over, and then plan to release a full version later with more mechanics, polish, and maybe some more surprises!
I though the idea, visuals and music were all really nice! there was one level, with the chaos planet, that I couldnt get past, Im not sure why. Other than that though, I enjoyed it!, I though the touch of how all the past puzzles you can see in the sky was really cool and added to the building the universe idea, well done :)
Thanks for playing! :)
Great take on the theme! I first assumed it was going to be more geared towards a card game but it turned out to be more-so an interesting puzzler instead. The text that showed up each level were both helpful and funny, and the gameplay itself was engaging :) I did have to restart quite a few times though which sometimes broke the planets haha.
Thanks for playing! :)

Nice concept that cool be easily expanded upon. Good job !
Thanks for playing! :)
