Really great "space social network simulator"! Lot of humor and little stories all around!
glad you liked it! ty for playing <3
Beautiful! I love seeing each mini narrative grow over time. The whole aesthetic is lovely too! 😊
thank you so much! We had something very specific in mind for the mini narratives and aesthetic so I'm glad it came together!
Who said a visual novel has to look like a text box that covers one-third of a background image with some anime characters popping up? It can definitely be like StarGayzer: a piece of space you see through a telescope and view social media on it.
a fresh take on a well loved genre!
All the posts were fun and good written, really liked the selection of reaction emojis!
thank you!! I also personally love the emojis, we wanted ones that were more of a blank slate so that people could ascribe their own meaning to them
always love a social media simulation and i really like ur combination of this mechanic with the stargazing activity. also looking forward to a extension of the game uwu
ty ty <3! Now that we don't have the jam deadline, we have a lot of big ideas we wanna put in the game, stay tuned!
Wonderful writing! Very much gave the vibe of far away internet friends.
Some got a good chuckle as well, wonderful work!
tysm!! A handful of the posts were written by other jam participants so thank you to them too!
Have you played Kind Words? That's what it reminded me of, a game that was great help for me when covid struck. I love it that you captured some of it's essence.
It's great to see a game with a refreshing and unique approuch, thank you for the experience :)
I haven't played it but I'll check it out for sure! I'm glad you enjoyed it <3
This game is really cool, definitely one of my favourites. Navigating the space with the telescope is a cool idea and fun to do and I love the UI design as well. Only the small font was maybe a bit hard to read sometimes.
For some reason, even though the game is set in the future, it made me feel a bit nostalgic for the old days of social media, when everything felt more weird and exciting and less commercial :D
Thanks for the feedback, we're considering making it a larger game so it's appreciated!
Definitely one of the joys of curating a social media experience is getting to decide what's on there. I'm glad you felt a connection with it!!
Awesome, if you are making a larger game, may I suggest adding a constellation mechanic of any sort. Star constellations make everything better :D
Actually I like that a lot! I'll see what I can do c:
I loved the concept with the stars for social media posts! the music was so lovely as well
Thank you so much! For real, we didn't make the music but while I was working on the game I often just had it running in the background just so I could work while the music was playing. It paired with our game nicely I think!
