Many legends are inspired by constellations, so I thought that a game where you draw constellatinos would be cool. If I had more time I would've aimed to tell a story with each of the constellations/have the player draw certain images, but I ran out of time.

Ahh, if you collect too many stars, you have to restart. Took me a few tries to figure out the game, but once it became clear it was a lot of fun. Cool game.
Ahah yeah I could've made the objective a bit clearer but glad you figured it out, thanks for playing!
Liked the visuals, simple but to the point. Bit of a learning curve to understand what you need to do.
Thanks for playing! I actually would've liked to develop the visuals similarly to your game, but ran out of time. I had much bigger plans for the stars/wormholes/constellations but just getting it functional took longer than I thought it would. A nice how-to-play screen was certainly on the agenda too.
At tje start the game was very difficult to understand but after understand it it was very cool and cute (sry english isn't m'y native language)
Thanks for playing! and no need to apologise for your English I can understand it perfectly, I again would've liked to make the game a bit easier to play but QOL changes didn't make it into the 72 hour timeframe
I struggled a bit at first, but I couldn't figure out the logic. After playing around with it, I understood that it's a really good jam game. Great job!
Thanks for taking the time to play, and yep ahaha that seems to be a common thread, I guess a physics based game with stars falling out of the sky isn't exactly the most intuitive.
Oooh, this is hard ! It took me a while to get how it worked. I like the sober presentation, although it would sound great with nice chimes or something. I like it.
Thanks! You're totally right some sound effects would've been great, and i would've loved to add some but just ran out of time unfortunately (music and vfx too ).
interesting puzzle game! very hard for me, but still fun through trial and error
though there seems to be some bug with the numbers, I keep gaining paths every time I fail, and one time the star count started at -1, haha
Thanks for playing, and yes I'm sure that's a bug (there's plenty more too haha) , it definitely could've used a bit of extra love but appreciate you playing :)
Neat concept, at first I thought it's very similar to mine but turned out to be something completely different.
I like the simple visuals, but I am colourblind and it would be neat if the stars had different shapes for people like me.
It's a bit awkward to draw lines, the last star still draws a path even when the level is restarted.
Overall very cool game.
Thanks for playing! I'm actually colorblind too (althought perhaps more mildly, but I've actually mentioned this exact same point on another game from this jam), but I totally agree that colour shouldn't really be used to communicate important information in games (where possible), so had I not run out of time this would've been something I'd like to address (and the usability haha, but I've already mentioned that a lot in my comments).
This game caught my eye cause it has a lot in common with my game! Very interesting and unique concept for a physics-like puzzle all though it did take me a while to understand what was happening and i'd love to see more levels! It so cool that we had such similar ideas of puzzle games where you form consolations but ended up going two very different routes. I really hope that you play mine so you can see how they are alike.
Thanks for playing! I actually did end up playing yours and I can very much see how they're alike. Yours definitely feels a lot more smoother to play haha, but wow it is cool to see how the same constellation concept can evolve into so many different styles of game!
