What a great idea, it's like a wordsearch reimagined! I found this very difficult as I'm colourblind, but cannot hold that against the game! Good job

Great concept! The HTML resolution is a bit messed up on my machine so I couldn't see the fish shape properly, but overall really good!

The web version seems broken for me. (Chrome latest, Windows 10, 1280x720 resolution) The intro plays, the stars appear, and I can connect them, but nothing else happens - compared with your screenshot, the entire GUI panel on the right is missing.

Very nice game! The audio was beautiful and the puzzles had a good difficulty level. It would have been fun to have some more puzzles or levels in the game, other than that it was a nice experience.

Thanks for the feedback guys. @mikethehuman @ditam I've updated the web version so hopefully it now scales with your browser resolution and displays it all :)

Great concept. I found nothing (I am bad seeker), but I like the idea. It's simple and perfect. And sound is very suitable.

Lovely little experience, I was left wanting more at the end.

The only critism I have is it would be nice to be able to draw through stars and have them connect without leting go of the mouse.

Amazing atmosphere, graphics, mood, I love it!

That was really good, the music made it feel really moody.

That was a really neat concept, I would have loved to have more constellations to find.

Initially a bit daunting, but quite relaxing once I got into it, only complaint is that sometimes I had other stars with the same colour in the way of starts I was joining up (but not part of the constellation). Wasn't too much trouble to fix it so was a very minor drawback. Final time was 2:03, wanted to play more!

Smart puzzle game, really nice music track. Just wished there was some more progression to it :)

It is easier than I thought! Very nice idea & the music fits perfectly the game. It gets very boring tho

The music is great and the look of it is very nice. When I first started I was like "Fuck this game", but then I saw the fish in the background and I had to find the rest. The key was super hard on my first go round because it happened to be randomly in the middle o a bunch of other yellow stars. Might be worth putting is some (more?) effort into dimming or removing some of the same colors stars in the area of the constellations. Other than that, nice relaxing experience.

Nice little puzzle game. Good job. TBH not quite sure how it fits the theme, but still, kinda fun.

Nice animation starting from nothing. I enjoyed a lot looking for the constellations (and listening to the music) but I would have expected more different constellations to come!

Really cool idea! The concept fits very well to the theme. I found it a little bit hard to spot everything, but thats just because I'm not good at it xD Overall it's a great game!

A relaxing puzzle with nice music.
Some changes in controls might make it more pleasant -- allowing to connect stars without holding mouse-button (like drawing poly-line in any vector editor), and allowing to clear and edge (connecting only two stars) by right-clicking on it.
