How does your game fit the theme?
We made a game about fixing the orbit of planets. Orbits are just fancy loops and we've made a lot of them!

Fun concept! Really loved all the background solar system art!

Enjoyed all the levels, and beating the last one in particular felt really satisfying. I agree with some of the other comments that a bit more information to make it more about strategic thinking and less about guess-and-checking would be good but I don't know how to do that well. I really liked the "Any collisions after this point will be outside of our Warranty Window™ and out of our hands" setup and how most levels, at least for me, ended like "A collision about to happen, but I got my next contract, so who cares 😀." Good gob!

Thanks for playing, glad it was satisfying! Appreciate the feedback - we're building a good list of quick improvements which I think will go a long way to addressing some of this!

The secret to the Warranty Window™ is that it's very particularly and finely tuned! Those poor planets...

I love the chill vibe of the game, very relaxing 😌 

Can you try my game too? :)

Cool aesthetics and vibes! The stars, planets, and music all worked really nicely together. It was fun to get things working correctly, and the time limit was a good amount. It would have been nice to have a little more information to make informed decisions about where to place planets--it felt like trial and error was the main strategy (for me, at least!). But thanks to the short warranty period that wasn't a big deal--nice job overall! Cool take on the theme :)

Thanks for playing and glad you liked the vibes! Feedback is useful - we'll investigate ways to make it less about trial and error. Let us know if there anything in particular that might help with decision making! Would a light hints system help?

The thing that stuck out to me was that the speed of all the orbiting bodies would vary, and the only way to find out how fast they were was to just send things moving at least once. It's quick to try and see how they move, so it didn't feel like a big problem so much as my first guess was completely random each time. On the other hand, in the current design, hints might make things too easy. Kind of a non-answer but hopefully that helped! 😅

It's a solid foundation and I could see it going in a variety of directions!

That's very helpful actually, thanks. Detailed feedback like this helps us understand how people actually approach the game, which in turn helps us plan improvements!
