It is a pretty story and setting, but hard to call it a game when there doesn't seem to be any win/lose conditions. The art is nice, especially considering pico limitations.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I see your point, but I don't think a game necessarily needs win/lose conditions. For me, the defining feature is that it's interactive. What counts as a game is a big discussion that doesn't really have a definitive answer, at least for me. :)

Neat little experience and I love the pixel art alongside the choice of music. Sometimes the text could linger on the screen a bit longer, so the reading speed fits the calm atmosphere of the game

Developer

Thank you for trying my game !

Cute little game about the universe. The art and music both have a very calming effect. It would have been cool for further immersion if, e.g. planets could be influenced by several suns, which in my run seemingly was not the case. 

Cool entry!

Thank you for trying out my game! That's a great suggestion! I wish I had more time when I created the game to add this kind of polish.

That was actually kinda beautiful. Bravo! Hope there was no one living on those planets at the end though. 

Developer

Thank you for trying out my game! I also hope haha

Great job creating a meaningful atmosphere in pico8 (pun intended)

Developer

Thank you for trying out my game ! (I was not able to find a new pun to add to my message sadly)

Nice short story! Liked the physics of the celestial bodies, it be even better if player could move objects. 😁

Developer

Thank you for trying out my game! I didn't have a lot of time to dev, so I preferred to keep things simple, but it would have been a great idea too!

This was a cute experience! The music made me feel extremely nostalgic for a memory I don't have, and made me feel really sad. My apologies to that one planet I spawned right on top of the sun... Never had a chance. 

Pico-8, that's the first I heard of the engine and wow, it's so limited, which makes it even more impressive. 

Developer

Thank you for trying out my game! If Pico-8 peek your interest, you can try it out for free from your browser (If you don't already know)

Nice short game! The visuals were very good and so was the music. the gravitational spin of the planets and moons were also good. I don't even have anything to give feedback about haha, it was very well made.

This is an incredibly cute experience, and I'm such a big fan of the poem that ties everything together as well. I wish there was slightly more gameplay variety than just clicking, but beyond that I think this is a really cool interactive piece!

Thanks for trying it out !

Love the art, and the music is nice. Think the text would do better progressing on click rather than a timer, so I can get through it on a replay or make sure I don’t miss something by accident. Definitely worth playing through more than once.

Developer

Thanks for trying it out ! It actually ties to the number of clicks and not a timer ! But maybe you were talking about the text speed ? I was not sure if it was too quick, maybe it is. If I had more time, I would have added a text speed setting for sure.
