BEST JAM GAME EVER! ALL 5 STARS! Concept - 5 stars, Presentation - 5 stars, Enjoyment - 5 stars, Limit utilization - 5 stars! I’m not kidding, I enjoyed the game VERY much! Yes, to be honest, it’s similar to my game :). If you play it, you’ll know what I mean ;)
P.S: Can you rate my game, please?
Hey, you know what they say, 'great minds think alike' :).
Fun and relaxing game! (The characters/stars reminds me of the ones from ROUNDS), I really enjoyed listening to the background music/ambiance, found it really calming.
Yes! Good catch, 'Heave Ho' was my other inspiration. I'm glad you like the ambience, thanks for playing and commenting.
Introduction is fire, well done :) It’s fun, a bit short (you could add time on the timer when you’re very close to the expected color! This way when you play well, you play more!) and sometime pressing space too early means you cannot play a planet. I’d love for you to continue this game :D
Very enjoyable and peaceful, thanks <3
I'm really happy you liked the intro, had to open the thesaurus for it lol. Also really like the timer manipulation suggestion, that will def be added if work continues. Thanks very much for the comment.
i cannot express how much i loved this game! so so so cozy and i could play this for hours! <3 well done!!!
Thanks for the comment, makes me happy to hear it.
I love vibes of this game! The graphics, sounds and background helped with that! Although at the first playthrough i had a problem with pressing space bar a bit too early so it did not start to change hue and i needed to let go it because of that. Anyways that game was not only fun but reminded me of subtle color diferences, awesome job!
Yeah there's this weird time between holding space and actually seeing the star move that could've been improved on. I'm glad you liked the subtle play on color, was afraid that it would be annoying. Anyways I really appreciate the comment.
Hi! That was a cool little game, I especially liked the audio environment as well as the introduction. I however had some troubles understanding that we need to press space to change the star color and release it on the good color but that's all my bad I guess. You really well implemented the limitation and the concept was nice! Have a great day.
Hey there! Thank you for the comment. And it was definitely not on you, for some reason I wanted to be all fancy and use a limerick as the tutorial. In hindsight, I could've been more clear. Thanks for playing and I hope YOU have a nice day.
