This is a Ludum Dare entry?!? Absolutely stunning work. Great marks on all accounts. The gameplay is simple to understand, and lends itself to eventually being able to get to the solution if you can't figure it out right away. Graphics and audio works seamingly to enforce the experience. I could easily see this doing well on the mobile market. Do it.

I second what laremere said. This is excellent. All the graphics and audio seem so consistent, the game has an excellent atmosphere.

I third what laremere said. Hard to believe this is a LD entry; it should be in the app store.
I appreciate the whale. ;)

Thanks guys for the nice comments. We actually split the job in two, one on the engine, one on the polishing stuff, I'm really glad that it works for you!

Wow great job! Very engaging. It would be cool if the moons rotated in place instead of the arrows.

Awesome work man! you had me playing and thinking till the end. A true gem you formed here!

I liked the pool of 'death messages'. and the solution to the last level was very pleasing to the eye.

took me a few moments to realise what I had to do on the first level. but when I got it It felt great.

Wow, what polish! I'm not a big fan of "puzzles" like that but this is really great, impressive work.

Oh man the first LD30 game I've played and it's this good. This is pretty production quality right here. You even got the difficulty just right and some of the orbit designs were cool to watch.

Very Well done! You did everything right, just the correct amaount of juice, some nice particles, some sound, a great idea and lots of puzzles! This could also work well on mobile devices!

Excellent and gorgeous. Fit the theme perfectly, pretty innovative gameplay, and the visual polish is top notch. Sell this, for real. Would be an awesome mobile game.

Nicely done! I love how the puzzles were designed so that the easiest way to connect, or the first one I tried, always failed. The level of polish is through the roof. Just sublime in every way.

An amazing work on the little details and the gameplay itself, intelligent level design and so much fun in resolving puzzles.
You have the potential to produce an even more advanced version of this game, dont hesitate and do it ! via kickstarter or whatever you want.

Once again congratulations.

A really solid game! Fun, easy to understand but still challenging. Make some more levels and this would be a great little thing to pass the time with, could work well on a phone as well. Graphics and sound are top notch :)

This is my favorite so far. Great game. And a really good idea because it's 100% in theme, it have simple mechanism and every aspect of this game is good.
Music is great without being intrusive.

Very professional looking game, clean and complete. Do you guys work for Ubisoft? I spotted the Rabbid in there...

Thanks for the comment! Aha I wish we did but it was just a joke Zhyr wanted to add. It's dedicated to a friend of us (and to all Rabbid's fan by the way).

Wow! Love the game overall! Very polished and executed, and the music is super fitting to boot! Normally I don't bother with puzzles like these, but I got so hooked, I went and finished all the levels! Definitely one of my Top 5 of this Jam! :)

Extremely impressed - great level of polish, graphics, ui, sounds.. the lot! Nice and intuitive with a decent difficulty curve.

Also loving the easter eggs like the space whale! :D

Really great job guys, whatever your method for getting this done in 72 hours keep it up and you'll be on to a winner in no time!

Well there are a lot more stars in my rating of this game than in your game I think. ;)
It's really polished, the small animations and sound effects really completes the brilliant puzzles(how you managed to design and test all of those, I have no idea). AWESOME!

Congrats on 1st place overall for the Jam :P

I wish there was a win screen and I didn't really appreciate the fail counter, haha, but otherwise it's perfect.

This is legendary. I don't know what to criticize. For me it was more "trial and error" than puzzle, but that's just my fault.
This game would totally sell on mobile, please do it and enjoy being rich.

Games like these make me doubt that they have been made in 2-3 days.
But it's pretty damn nice, a bit too much trial and error, but still extremely solid.
As Mentioned above, perfect mobile game, get it to the storez :P

Aha thanks a lot guys! We've actually made everything you see from scratch (except 2 pieces of interface) ! We found the concept in 40 minutes so, we started coding pretty much instantly and we also barely slept!

It's great that the game saves the progress! I was playing before but I had to go. Opening it now and finding that I don't need to play again the eight first levels is just awesome!

Great game. Well polished and challenging levels.
The only issue I had is I would often try to change an existing connection without removing it first which would then delete all my other connections it crosses which was annoying. It would be better to always create a link if you start and end a line on valid planets.

That's my favorite entry so far. The amount of polish in the details, including the nice sound effects, is just perfect. I hope you release it for mobile devices!

@someone : Thanks for the feedback. This is definitely something we would like to polish on the final version :)

fantastic job. Great art and music. Was a bit trial and error, but that's fine and this was very fun to play. I could see it doing very well on an iPad and think you should pursue making it for mobile. Very nice job, guys!
