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.
Interesting concept and great idea to use the Japanese signs for the concepts. Thanks a lot for the game.
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 !
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.
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. 🌟
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!
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 :)
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!
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.
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!
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!
