What a fascinating concept
( ◕▿◕ )
It is like playing Doodle God but using thoughts and placement.
The art is so mesmerizing and the UI design is unique and nostalgic.
Thank you for providing a walkthrough for this; I was able to thoroughly enjoy the story of the recordings. Awesome work!

Really enjoyed the retro-style theme here, I felt like I was playing an old school adventure or RPG style game. Very nostalgic in a way
What a captivating story. I don't think any other submission fits the theme quite like this one. I think this is everything it's trying to be.
The retro-style screen is cool! It's fun to explore. It took me back to the old days of tape:)
Wow! This is amazing. I am really impressed how much content you fit inside a 7 day game jam! Great job, and I hope to see this game update!
Such an interesting game! Art style is absolutely brilliant, atmosphere is really trippy. Felt like some sort of void god haha! Very cool game
I really liked the visuals of this game. The puzzles were a bit tough though, couldn't complete some of the stages without the hints. Glad that you gave it else I would have never gone furthur, lol.
Wow, a very strange place indeed. An amazing take on the theme, and the visuals are fantastic. I couldn't quite beat it without the walkthrough, but got to the end with it and enjoyed myself. Great job.
This Game has to be the most fitting theme of this jam!
really cool visuals and game!
Favourite game of the jam. Perfect use of the theme and visuals to create something truly unique.
got lost a lot but I really enjoyed the game ! felt like a caveman discovering fire each time I unlocked an item
Enjoyed the combination of puzzles and building out your own world!
This was very enjoyable. I was immediately captivated by making progress. Every step matches up so well with the theme, you did an amazing job with that. I particularly enjoyed the art and the grainy feel of an old style CRT. I managed to get 50% and then got a little confused but not your fault, I'm tired lol. Now I see there's a walkthrough so I'll give it another shot! Fantastic work!!
A very interesting concept! Thought it fit the theme very well. I got to about 40% before I realized I wasn't supposed to be clicking around completely aimlessly, hoping that's a record.
I think this will be one of my favourites of the jam! I really loved the concept and execution. This despite the fact that I got stuck at 60%. In some cases I felt like I was picking up the hints but just didn't execute them in the way the game needed me to. I noticed your walkthrough after exiting, so I plan to come back later and try complete the game using that to help me along a bit. Great job!
I had to resort to the hints to complete the game,, I'm not great at puzzle games though! Really liked the aesthetics, the theme and the storytelling. It maybe could've needed a bit less linearity, some branching in the story or a failure state. Great game though!
Great suggestions. In the original plan, I had intended for the ending to be different depending on whether you end with Hypersphere+Aurora or Aurora+Hypersphere, but I had to cut it to get everything done on time. Will think about branching story ideas if I ever give this one an update :)
Thanks for playing!
I had no idea what I was in for - this was so cool to play through! The presentation of space was really intriguing and playing with different tile combinations was fun. I have to admit though that I did need to consult the walkthrough for maybe about a third of the unlockable tiles? It was a bit hard to tell what some of the combinations could be, though I really like that you're rewarded with information if you manage to imagine the right combinations - fits the mechanics really well! Also that aurora skybox coming in after being surrounded by nothing... so beautiful... Really cool game!
This is a super cool game! The concept is so weird yet so interesting and finding the different recordings off of the combinations is so much fun. I know it's dumb but you can't believe how happy I was that making a triangle out of triangles unlocked a new item. Great job!
I got to 60%
I dont know why, but i like this game alot xD
