Is the game coming back I wanna solve the puzzle!!!

I didn't play yet and it looks soooo intresting!!! 

A beautiful game that extends the enjoyment to even outside the screen. Loved the animation and message the game conveyed. Looking forward to more! Thank you for the experience. 


SPOILER FOR FINAL PUZZLE

If you are playing with a QWERTZ keyboard instead of a QWERTY one note for the song to reverse time will be different! Just a heads up!

This is a really sweet game! Can you PLEASE bring it back weekly or something like that?

Submitted

Can you please bring this back after August 2nd because it's sooo much fun!

I can't believe you created such a polished game in just 4 days! The sound design, graphics, and controls are all fantastic. The connection to real life is such a clever concept. Amazing work!

A beautiful game with a kind and thoughtful message behind it. I’ve only recently got over the hurdle of inactivity and have been having a lot more fun being more present in the moment and creating more. So hearing what this game had to say was a nice reminder to keep going :)

The secrets were lovely too (scratched a Tunic itch I’ve been wanting to scratch for a while), although I kinda stumbled a few times in the process in figuring out how to get to the end. I spent a lot more time than I’d admit trying to reach the blackhole through pure force of will after hitting 9 planets. I did get really close though so I’d count that as a win :D

Again wonderful game, always great to see what you create!

Wow! This is super good! It reminds me of Tunic a little bit with all of the music stuff. Very good, well done! :)

The game is incredible. The graphics and controls make me want to have a full fledged game with it. The puzzle was nice, atmosphere soothing. Honestly, I don't know how you managed to do this full experience alone. It is amazing and you should be proud of it :)
