So many interactivity! I didn't expect to see a ball of dirt becoming a planet with atmosphere, clouds, buildings and birds!
with my people being abducted by aliensCongrats on your entry, it was super fun to play! :)Thanks. I wanted much more interactivity and events and behaviours, but .. ambition often exceeds time and ability.
interesting physics
Interesting game.... Not sure I entirely understand it, but I made some big trees on some planets! I really like the whale controls, reminded me of an old game called Starwhal!
Thanks for playing. You probably understood it well enough. :) It's my attempt at making an ambient game with no hit points or death or brain-melting puzzles. Just fly around and have fun.
Well then mission accomplished, nice work
I had fun with this one. It was a little unclear at first that I could switch between the dirt, seed and water, but once I figured it out I enjoyed flying around and watching things bounce together. The gravity pull was especially fun. I think more sound effects for things bouncing into each other or the water interacting with the plants could be a fun addition.
Aw dang. I missed adding audio sFX to water hitting plants. Good catch! That one should have been the first effect I added. Oh well. Post-jam, Easy fix.
I love audio feedback for interactions
Nice relaxing game. Gameplay and calm music left me wanting more!
I think the last stage bugged for me, as I did not create any civilization (not sure how yet - something to do with Aliens?), only entered the black hole looking thing and then it completed (went to "thanks 4 playing" level)
I like the sandbox gameplay - some more polish and a couple more objects added for variety and you could release it as some kind of puzzle game, or maybe just a pure sandbox.
Thanks. Not exactly a bug, but I can see why it felt that way. I left the black hole portals to the next level in because I wanted players to be able to advance even if they couldn't figure out what to do. But, I see now that might have been a mistake.
