@LuxPerpetua: You control the swarm. Click the planets to move to them.

I've had one person report that they had to refresh the web version before clicking planets would do anything.

Cool puzzle game, audio was decent and the graphics where quite nice! It took a little bit of time before I understood what was going on and what I was supposed to do, I also had to click "R" one time as nothing happened when I was clicking at planets first (then I read your comment).

Fun take on the theme! Worked perfectly for me first time in the Iron browser (chromium). A nice puzzler :)

The game was pretty good. I'd make a suggestion to display the controls somewhere at the beginning of the game as I didn't realise I had to click the planets until I read your own comment here.
Also I guessed that "R" reset the level as well when I messed up.
But other than that I think the game is a pretty good start, I like the fact that some of the levels have more than 1 solution too. Good job :)

The game is fun, but the issue does not call me much

Nice game. I would have played more if there was a restart button or a level selector and not just take you to the beginning each time I failed.

Nice game, enjoyed the puzzles. Only complaint was wanting more levels :) Which is a pretty good complaint to get :)

Nice difficulty curve and fits the theme well. As avid puzzle game player, I thought it was fun to play.

Fun to play. I like your take on consumerism =P

Good take on a classic style of puzzle. I felt like the art style choice obfuscated the puzzle design and maybe the art should've been simpler, but it gets the job done.

You win the internets for finding the perfect theme for this classical puzzle form.

Very fun! But very short! Would definitely play more if there was more. The galaxy background was very pretty and the music was very fitting. I liked that the level had more than one solution but that made it feel a bit too easy... Overall very impressed.

Nice little puzzler. The graphics could've been clearer, but the aesthetic worked pretty nicely after all. The music also helped create a really nice mood.
