That was something...
Never thought it'd be hard
Very solid game

Nice sound and idea, nice visuals. The gameplay isn’t very complex, but it’s not off-putting either. It was interesting to look for constellations — cool, thank you :)

A very peaceful game with excellent visuals and pleasant sound design. The simple gameplay only adds to its meditative feel. Great vibe overall.

Very chill and really nice execution of the idea. Some constilations were challanging to get in one line. I liked that. Only thing: I wanted to directly start over but needed to first start another constilation. An abort button would be nice.

I enjoyed the time with this game. A really good entry.

Pretty interesting concept, and well executed. Only issue is if I deselected an individual star, I couldn't re-select it unless I first did the deselect all command.

really cool little game. the only issue i see are the menu buttons. "Restart" behaves like a reset by clearing the stars. Then "Reset Progress" restarts the whole game...with only one level this language is confusing. I think one menu button to go to the beginning of the game is needed especially since right click clears the star selections.

I've connected all the dots! It feels like such a healing and chill little game, perfect for parents and kids to play together, haha.

I really love the different selection effects and sound effects the game has created for each star sign; they feel very calming and sound lovely.

Lovely game, could be a nice one-evening puzzle with light story if added a few more levels

Cool vibes with some solid artwork. Nice job on the audio. The gameplay was also harder than I thought it would be, it was quite interesting. I would only wish for it to be a little bit more relevant to the "Signal" theme, hovering over the star to hear their sound was not really an important mechanic since it was pretty obvious which stars are in the same group.

Good job overall!

I love the graphics and animations! I found it pretty challenging to get the constellations to line up, and for my taste, the first text boxes could have been a bit faster. But other than that, it’s a really great idea for the theme!

Wow, what vibes. The idea is great, and actually connecting the stars was fun. I'm a bit disappointed that the signal aspect seemed irrelevant. Listening to similar ones did not help me actually connect the constellations, and they were distant enough from each other that there was never confusion which ones were distinct groups. Still, a very cool and moody experience.

Solid entry, amazing work! Such a simple idea of matching what's on the notebook but executed so well! Loved that it develops into a filled picture once you complete a constellation. Also really liked how the stars are grouped by different music themes with own indicator style, reminds me of Outer Wilds.

Had this sense of exploration, I enjoyed it.

Found all the figures. It looks and sounds so mysterious that I didn't understand a thing, but I was really intrigued 😁

@marks Thanks for the feedback! We actually came up with this idea for gameplay from two games: Sandrock (star finding minigame) and Outer Wilds, love this game so much!

Some of the constellations were very difficult to recognize, but I managed, thank you, it was a great experience!

Really nice entry! I loved the mood created by the music, and the core idea is great. As others mentioned, some constellations were a bit hard to figure out because the shapes felt a little unconventional. But I guess that's just the authentic astronomy experience, right? Great work!

Very polished game! Simple mechanic idea that is surprisingly difficult. I struggled with the last two (bed and gift) because I was trying to make them on the other remaining one, and doing a pretty good job I thought! But it became easier once I tried the correct spots for them :smile:

Great stuff! Super nice artwork, lovely sound, cool idea. I actually think you could expand this into full game, if you add couple more mechanics. I'd buy it, I love star gazing :smile:

What a nice relaxing game there ! I have to admit I paused in searching constellation just to listen to the stars song. Nice game !

You guys really captured a moment with this game! You created an immersive and unique atmosphere that was calming and matches the relaxed nature of the gameplay perfectly. The audio and music were superb also -- hats off to the composer on the team. Game design was clever use of the theme and a nice relaxed difficulty that worked great for a jam game I thought. A quick, polished, complete experience. Very very nice, congrats!!~

Awesome game, I'm a huge fan of the music tho a bit loud at times was right up my alley, super good work!

the presentation is great, I really liked how all the stars had their own frequency/vibration and sound. It's also cool that there is a drawing attached to the constellation once you connect it

The gameplay is on the simpler side but I did enjoy figuring out which constellations matched the drawing, I really appreciate that they kept the same orientation as the drawings that really helped a lot!

the sound effects are a bit loud, i really appreciate that there was an option to lower their volume
