The use of purple is beautiful, creating a serene, boundless, and romantic cosmic landscape.\nThere are two things I especially love. First, the use of stereo channels when searching for stars via sound makes the process of locating the source much more three-dimensional. Second, the tuning process combines audio and visual feedback perfectly. Even without text instructions, I understood how to play within seconds.\nOverall, this is a slow-paced game that immerses you in artistic expression. I really admire your creative philosophy. It\u2019s clear the artist has a distinct vision, and I hope you continue to create such distinctive works","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1210078,"author_name":"Sam Gorman","author_uid":"sam-gorman","epoch":1776965344,"text":"I love the story in this one, and the art is genuinely stunning.

I found a star with the telescope, but I can't figure out any sort of pattern to how the dials affect the frequency.

The visual style definitely delivered, but the audio was a bit hit-or-miss in terms of its execution. The gameplay was also difficult to understand, but reading through some of the previous comments, I understand that this was more a result of not having the full extent of the jam to work on the game. In the end, I think you delivered something playable that works, albeit confusingly - but still a good setup to work with and expand upon for the future.\n\n## Fun\nThe gameplay was difficult for me to understand within the context of the game and its description - particularly when it came to the attuning. The telescope searching part of the gameplay worked quite well, and it was fun and satisfying to come across a planet with the limited scope of vision. The planets seem to have thoughtful names and appearances, from what I've seen thus far.\n\nWhen it comes to the tuning, the biggest problem I had was that the knob-tuning was very tedious. Having to click each time to move the knob a notch clockwise just didn't work with not knowing what exactly the knobs do. In a game about tuning, I would have liked to have the knobs behave a little more like a dial. I think the incremental knobs could have worked if the audio feedback in response to those settings were more obvious, as the challenge would then be to not \"overtune\". But in this current setting, it's difficult to have these hard-to-manage controls without giving the player more direction as to what they are supposed to be playing for.\n\nThe page description mentions \"static\", but I only heard static in one of the planets out of the 4 I came across (the purple one with the eye, to be exact). The other 3 planets didn't seem to have any static, so I had no idea what I was tuning or affecting. I'm not sure what the intention here was supposed to be, but my intuition was that the two knobs maybe control two frequencies or maybe the panning. It also seemed like the audio itself was fading in and out of the static itself, so it wasn't really clear what was from the music itself vs. the audio in response to the dials being turned.\n\n![Stargazer screenshot 01.png](\/\/\/raw\/360\/1\/z\/72cb6.png)\n\nI love the idea of searching for particular planets to create unique combinations of poems. I didn't have a chance to explore all the planets, but I like that this game incentivizes multiple replays.\n\n## Innovation\nUsing audio itself and tuning as the \"signal\" to find the other planets was a super neat idea, and I think it's distinct from the other entries I've played and seen thus far. That plus the overall aesthetic and gameplay makes this entry stand out - particularly the idea of using the planets as \"songs\" and building off of that. \n\n## Theme\nTwo things stand out to me in regards to this entry's use of the theme: the \"signal\" of the audio cues when searching for planets and the signal calling out to the planets to attune them. Both elements are relatively clear, even if the signal is not noticeably visual - I think this was an interesting use of the theme that I think has a lot of potential within the game to be worked with and expanded upon.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1217007,"author_name":"Random-storykeeper","author_uid":"random-storykeeper","epoch":1777266803,"text":"(comment 2\/2)\n\n## Graphics\nThe art in this game is gorgeous. I love the watercolour-esque style of the graphics. It gives the game a sort of ethereal aesthetic that works for a game about gazing at the cosmos. \n\nThat being said, I found the NPC on the right in the overworld to be a little disturbing to look at. Maybe the fact that they have no face, or that they kind of bounced up and down when I would re-focus on the game. They almost seemed 3D; it was a little off-putting to me (but still looked pretty cool for the most part).\n\nThe one graphical nitpick I have is that the knobs seem to have this square gradient border around them, which I'm not sure was intentional, since they are circles. And those gradient borders were moving at an angle when the knobs were turning, which seemed to be less intentional. You can even see it in the earlier screenshot I posted when looking closely.\n\n## Audio\nThe use of audio when searching for the planets is well done. There's good sound design in the compositions that works with the graphics. You set up good audio cues for indicating where to look for the different planets and lock into them when using the telescope. \n\nThere are a couple of elements I think could be adjusted regarding the use of the audio:\n- I wish the music transitioned more seamlessly from the overworld (with the tuner\/telescope\/NPC) into the tuner. It's weird to have no music in this overworld and then all of a sudden hear music when loading up the tuner. If there is to be silence here, I think this could be place to have more ambience and\/or fade in the planet sounds when loading up the tuner machine.\n- I don't like that the music stops and then loops again when interacting with the planet in the tuning room. I wish it played continuously in a loop so that the player can hear the differences more clearly. It just seems awkward for the loop to end on a few seconds of silence.\n\n## Humor\nThis category does not feel applicable to this game. I couldn't find anything that necessarily came across as intentionally humourous (but if there is, let me know). \n\n## Mood\nThe art style and audio work together harmoniously to create this beautiful, otherworldly sort of mood that I think fits with a more laidback gameplay of finding planets and tuning to them.

Your purpose is not to guide ships, but to attend to the static of the cosmos. Turn your telescope not to see, but to hear. Find hidden celestial bodies by the sound of their unique heartsongs. Tune their fragile signals, harvesting a single word from each resonance. Finally, with the fragments of stardust you have gathered, compose a final poem for a silent universe.\n\n\n\n![\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260421042948_2522_1.png](\/\/\/raw\/359\/56\/z\/71214.png)\n\n### Gameplay\n\nYour task is twofold.
