Pretty cute drawing game, even educational! I learned some symbols, music suited the vibes, very cozy, would play this before sleep on my phone.
This was a pretty cozy little game. The music and sound effects were really and helped pull the whole thing together. The hint system was also very helpful! I enjoyed it! Great job.
Thank you so much for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Nice game, very cute. The hints where very usefull to know what forms to draw, after seeing them I had no issues.
I'm glad the hints helped! I was worried the game would be too hard without them but also worried that it would be too easy with them. So I'm glad they were useful
Interesting concept and great idea to use the Japanese signs for the concepts. Thanks a lot for the game.
Thank you for playing my game!
The graphics are lovely, and the sound is excellent. The idea is interesting, but some puzzles are difficult to solve due to the "forced" movements required when drawing the lines.
Thank you! Yeah I need to work on the controls
Nice game, I recommend adding instructions inside the first level, on the level with 'tree' I could not connect the dot to the left most part for some reason, It wasn't getting selected, rest of the things like music, aesthetic and sfx are really well done. Good work overall !
Thank you for playing my game and your feedback! Yeah that level had too many connections and not enough hot keys. So I only had the connection going one way from the center. I think that could be a nice escalation of difficulty but it needs to be better communicated if I decide to keep it
This is a really nice cozy game, and quite an original concept. The controls weren't really intuitive as others have mentioned (I'd have probably used mouse drawn or something like that instead of wasd controls). I couldn't really read the menu letters but that might be just because I have a bad eyesight.
Thank you for your feedback! It wasn't because of bad eye sight the contrast on the letters to the backdrop is too narrow. I'll darken the letter colors for the next iteration.
I love the cozy aesthetic and the original concept! I had toruble with the controls at first. I kept needing to scroll down so that I could see them all. After the jam, consider putting the gameplay instructions (controls, what to do when the puzzle is solved) into the game itself. 🌟
Thank you for your feedback! Yeah apparently this kind of game usually uses point and click. I'm playing around with that for the next version.
This was so sweet! I appreciated the general style and the lullaby, and as someone who was learning Japanese some time ago, the constellation shapes were such a nice touch. I kinda wish real humans helped you with the music and the art, but if anything, you had a clear artistic vision here and you were able to communicate it well. Thanks for trying out my game!
Thank you for playing my game! Yeah it would have been nice if I could have done the whole thing without AI. I've only been doing this for 6 months so I decided to get good at game loop before I started learning music and art.
Great looking game!
Thank you so much!
fun little game. i think there’s one bug: if i create the constellation after erasing an extra line, it doesn’t detect correctly.
Thank you for playing my game, and for letting me know about that bug!
soothing and chill. Enjoyed this very much, tygg
Thank you!
Cook Idea, well done :)
Thank you so much!
We first thought about a star constellation game, but had no nice idea for gameplay, so we made something else. This is a cute and fun one, good job :)
Thank you!
Wow! This was cool. I was hooked from the graphics at the beginning. I am so happy you put the move instructions on the game page so that I could read those while playing. If launching on something like Steam I would find a way to so you can see those instructions on page with a canvas that you bring up with the push of a button. I love games that teach me things so the way you tied in the symbols with the stars, overall A+ very well done!
Thank you so much for your feedback! Yeah I'll need to add more guidance for moves the player can take if I turn this into a full release for sure. I'm so glad you liked it :)
very cute!! well done :)
Thank you!
Cute Game.
Thank you so much for checking it out!
Awww, that was a lovely experience. Just what I needed after a demanding week :) Well done.
Made me wanna go back and start learning Chinese again. Already knew how to draw those characters from studying Japanese years ago.
Thank you! I'm glad it was a good experience. The reason I'm settled on this for my game is because I need something to motivate me while I learn Chinese :D
Very creative idea! I really liked the cozy atmosphere and the whole “dreamy constellation” vibe of the game. The music and visuals made the experience feel very calm and relaxing.
I also thought the constellation mechanic mixed with the symbols/riddles was really interesting and kept my attention during the gameplay. Once I properly understood how everything worked, I ended up going all the way to the end :)
Overall, this was a very charming experience with a unique concept. Great job on the submission!
Thank you so much! I'm glad it was able to keep your attention to the end and that the vibe I was going for came through.
I had a lot of fun playing this!
Honestly, I would have happily kept playing if there had been more content. That's usually a good sign that a game is doing something right. The experience was enjoyable, and I found myself wanting to see more of what you had planned.
Great work, and congratulations on the project!
Quite chill. Well done. :)
Thank you!
