Game Description
Organization simulation game, a lost satellite getting sucked into a black hole and will desperately do its best to send rare materials back to HQ in it's last moments.

How does your game tie into the theme?
I approached it as both chaotic as in everything is coming at you at once with asteroid/materials moving at all points and controlling the situation by organizing and labeling the materials based on what you know and systematic tools you can use.

Great original idea and fits the theme very well. I wish the controls were better because I really enjoyed where this was going.

The game is indeed chaotic, fits the theme. Controls were a bit janky, but once I figured out the hitboxes I could reliably catch the shapes :)

Maybe some instruction would be great, as I captured some shapes but not understand why/how and other not. Nice game for a weekend tho :)

Vibes were immaculate. I got the song playing the background and collected samples as quick as possible. The game kind of broke down on the next screen trying to send the samples back to earth, but I really liked what you were going for. 
(Also the track reminded me of one of my fave artists Driftcat, who you should check out if you don't already know them.)

I wish I could figure out what to do because the vibe is great. I clicked around and sometimes the cursor would be filled and sometimes it would become an arrow again. The space bar didn't do anything. And when the time was up it went back to the 5 minute countdown.

Dude, dope art style. Looks damn good. Was there sound or was it broken for me? Also, the controls and the goal is a bit difficult to understand. Great work though!

Very nice art! Unfortunately, I couldn't understand what's the point of the game and was just clicking in panic and pressing space randomly, haha. I got some shapes collected, but no idea why I could catch some of them but not the others. So yeah, some kind of help/instructions would have been nice!

I never could really figure out how to use the spacebar to capture the shapes, but the intro is really nice, and the song you embedded in the youtube video was also pretty nice.
