very beautiful mini game, too small, but too make me thinking.
I want to ask that 21/20 is a easter egg or bug?

I came to 18/20, couldnt fgure the last 2 out. Fairly fun, but some discovery's came with multiple at the same time. This cause me to miss what exactly was happening. But nice concept overall!

Cool game, maybe adding a menu with the things you discovered could be nice. Good work.

Wow thats a cool idea. I discovered 18/20 both the times i've played so there seems to be something i missed. I like that its short, as smooth controls looks simple (but in coherent and nice way) and the subtle humor.
Things that missed were just sound and a restart option.

All in all the best entry i played yet.
I've played 3...
...Still the best^^

Clever use of the theme! Really cool to explore and discover the mechanics. Nice realization with the muffled sounds and good physics feeling. I'd play a longer version discovering even more mysteries of the universe!

Really enjoyed playing around in this game! A list of achievements would be cool because they disappear so fast and it is hard to find out what to do next :) other than that, cool game

Really cool project, and great use of the theme! Had a lot of __*wow moments*__ when performing an action and there actually being a reaction to it.

Audio-scape is really simple but feels very fitting for the game, though I think a calm and simple music loop could have added to the ambience!

The interactions are really smooth and easy to understand, the only issue I had was that the smaller pieces were difficult to drag sometimes, you almost had to click outside of them. Perhaps a preview when hovering objects to drag would have helped offset that!

All in all, great work!

Thank's a lot everyone ! It's my first game so I'm very touched

@moonagent to be frank it's an error, but everyone seems happy to go above 100%... sooooo... hehe, an happy accident

@florian-oster totally agree with you, but the time was missing. Thank's!

@willoxs thank you ! We are not very good with sounds, we have no competence in it. but we will try harder next time :) And yes you right a restart option will be nice to add (I will ask the dev to do it hehe)

I love the art! The game is quite fun, I played it twice even though I know what will happen. The sound effects are really nice, it would be nice if there was some background music. Good job!

this is smart!

was really entertaining to explore the possibilities of your universe :)

art and sound design are nice as well.

it would be nice to see the history of your inventions. or just hold it on screen for a bit longer. i think i missed one or two when was too focused on interactions :)

Really pleasant experience! Wish there was more stuff to discover, this is a really cool concept!

It was fun to discover all possibilities, however I missed some of them too. Some effect on discover would fix that probably but it's great game anyways!

Liked minimal but great graphics and SFX.

Congratz!

A really nice concept. The art is pretty cool, too. I noticed some pacing issues, where I accidentally discovered 2-3 things at once, but other than that it's great!

Love the art style and concept! Fun sandbox to just play around and see what happens. Sound fx were spot on too, If you ever need music for future games let me know :)

This is a masterpiece! The art, the sounds, the mood...
The only problem is the clumsy way the cursor reacts with the surroundings of the canvas, even on fullscreen somehow (but maybe because I have multiple screens?). That can't be helped I guess, unless you host it yourself or trap the mouse?
I just loved trying everything I could think of and laughed a lot.
What can I say, killing people is fun!

Very cool beautiful game. My only grip is that I wish I could see my progress the whole time not just when I achieve something new.

Very well done and seems like you achieved what you set out to. Nice and simple not really any major criticisms. I think I extra won by getting 21/20 somehow. Good job!

5 stars for everything. I don't think there is anything I would say will be new as earlier comments say everything. One of the best games I played in this jam so far. I can see you will be higher in rankings for sure. It drove me crazy that I could only find 19 things. I thought I missed 1 thing only to realize there are more than 20 to find. Played twice but still a few things left to find. I wish someone make a video of this game and find everything. You should look forward to expand the game further.

EDIT: I found 21/20 and please tell me there are no more things to find. I can't sleep knowing there is something more to find.

I really had a lot of fun kicking the planets and the sun around. The art and sound supports the game :)

cute little game! ngl, having the "achievements" go up to 22/20 felt a little mean, but the ending did catch me by surprise!

(btw the popups have a typo in "discovered")

Very fun game to play! I would have liked my achievements to stay on screen a bit longer so I could actually read what I got, but was pleasantly surprised by the two secret achievements I found, good one!

This was a really cute game, I loved playing around with it. The animations and art style worked really well, and I loved the little comments as you discovered new things. Great interpretation of the theme, I loved it!

That's a very clever and fun game! The concept is very unique! Art and animations make this experience feel soo good and lively!! I was wondering why nothing happened when I reached 20/20 the first time I played it.. but the second time, I wasn't disappointed ;) I wish I could find all of them but I could make it up to 21/20 :'( Beautiful game! Well done!!
