Seconding the really nice haptic feedback for dialing things in. Pretty hard to actually find the constellations visually though; I think the magnitude scale is too compressed; either dimmer stars should be smaller/dimmer, or brighter stars even brighter/larger. Holding up the cards to match was physically difficult for me (shoulder issues); would be nice to have a raycast from head or hand option too.

Thanks for the feedback!

I´m terrible in astronomy, a little help with some bright and light could be really helpful. But nice idea and good implementation of the haptics. ;)

Thanks!

Awesome job!  The haptics not being there on the web version really does make it harder lol, other than that the only comment I have is that the overall brightness of the table area could be tuned down a bit, but thats really the only critique I think I have, well done!

Developer

Thanks!

The matching system of the constellations was a very nice idea, and the haptic feedback was very well integrated ! The fireworks at the end was also a nice touch :)

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that some folks are making it to the fireworks :-)

Excellent entry. If you don’t have any stargazing experience, the haptic hints works very well. Could be improved by letting the cards be less bright, and they could also have been rotated a bit so you don’t have to twist you wrist as much.

Developer

Thanks! I agree that the cards could be improved, but in a jam there's only so much time for iteration :-)

I agree about the haptic feedback. It was so well done in this game!

Developer

Thanks :-)

Great game! Relaxing environment, game play and music :) I really enjoyed the whole game and I appreciated the firework!

Small note: It is not so easy to make the card overlaps the stars in the sky because it actually hides the part of the sky you are interested in. It would have been nice to make the card slightly transparent when pointed to the sky :)

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you made it to the fireworks - since it has turned out to be harder for folks than I had hoped, I was worried no one would get to see them :-)

I agree that perhaps making the cards somewhat transparent could have helped. But in a jam there's only so much time for playtesting and  iteration :-)

Thanks for playing and sharing the recording! It's always great to be able to watch folks play :-)
