Short and sweet is the name of the game. I really like the gameplay concept, its something unlike I've ever seen before using loops to represent orbits is awesome and having it be such a whimsical concept of hiding on the back of the moon is a cheffs kiss. I love the creativity!

Simple but enjoyble. Great job!

I love how simple this game is! Also I love how every time I mess up the building I get a reaction from earth haha that was a nice touch!

Simple mechanic which is really made great by the setting / concept. Cool!

Very fun, loved the style a lot, and the losing screen text that you get is very fun and ties the experience of playing together quite nicely. Sometimes the boxes are a little janky but honestly I think that plays into the stacking mechanic in a fun way!!! Awesome Job!

Developer

Thank you!!!

This little game was a lot of a fun, serene and mildly hectic fun. I thought at first I could get away without precise placement, but as the scope zoomed out, the blocks I had placed closer to the earth began to trigger the warning zone.

The music and little comments made this a joy to play.

Thank you for making it!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Yeah hope that zoom out interaction wasn't too unforgiving!

Thoroughly enjoyed this. It's great to see a game using a fitting piece of classical music for once.

Developer

Thank you!! Yeah definitely a space-ey classical music haha

I was a little skeptical at first, but the game's vibe and concept are great. The music piece fits very well with how your base can escalate out of control with one wrong placement. The humor is genuinely fun to experience as well. Well done!

Really cool space aesthetic! Great music and hilarious death messages, the Chris Pratt one was unexpected and had me laughing. LOVED it!
