Though the puzzles aren't very challenging, the game is really immersive and polished. The art is stunning and the sound effects are spot on.

Developer

Ya we can work on the puzzles a bit more for sure! And we have some ideas on how to do so! But ya thanks for the compliment on the aesthetics of the game! We put a lot of hard work on that!

Absolutely stunning. The art was beautiful and the framing of every single scene was wonderfully done. The music and sounds were mysterious and evocative and contributed incredible well to the general vibe. The puzzles were just okay but I didn't have any issues as I was very content just zoning out and drawing the constellations. I think the narrative was engaging, I wish a little bit more had been made clear but I can understand the desire to keep a sense of mystery and discovery. Very well done, great job!

Developer

We are for sure aware of the short comings! And appreciate the compliments on what we believe were the strengths! It really does mean a lot to the team and we are feeling so blessed with such a positive reception! It's been very humbling and emotional to say the least

Its definitely the best game I have played so far. The sounds, the artwork, the creativeness of making the game fits the loop theme, its just way too good for a jam game. Great work!

Developer

Much love! Thanks for that!

It's truly a magnificent game, the text, images, and sounds really transported me into this universe.

Developer

That's the goal! Glad it worked for you!

Sometimes I wonder how are people capable of making such good art. This looks and sounds like a steam indie game. If i may, i would like to know which where your inspirations (the style reminds me of gris). Anyway, you have my highest rating so far.  

Developer

Our artist is known for this style, he goes by Robotpencil, check out his IG (same name) if you wanna see more!

Thanks for the praise and for playing the game!

Loved the game, what a great experience, shrouded in mystery and beautiful artwork! !10/10

Just to be picky, I think some SFX could be a bit lower as they were overtaking the music. But the SFX were really good!

Developer(+1)

We're happy you enjoyed the game! And critique is always welcome and a requirement for honing our skills. We wanted the whole experience to flow and feel perfect so thanks for the feedback on the mixing of the SFX and the music, we'll work on doing a better job with that in the future! Thanks for playing!

Developer

Geez crazy good game!!

Sometimes doing actions felt a bit slow and maybe increasing the speed there by 10% would be a nice improvement.

Otherwise, not much to say that hasn't been said. Game is beautiful and has great great vibes. Really really well done.

Developer

oh that's good insight! Yea we for sure think we can push things further! but this is the best we could do with the time we had! Means a ton the positive feedback we have been getting tho! including yours :)

This game felt so beautiful, like an interactive painting. Sometimes I wanted the game to get out of the way, let me draw/paint, and stay in the beautiful zone you created.

Developer

incredible! Love this feedback!
