While doing so, you can discover what kind of interaction is possible between different objects, by linking or simply bringing them together.

Didn't finish it in 48h so i post in Jam

gamepad recommended

=Pad controls=

left stick to move

right stick to orient yourself

right shoulder to grab an object

left shoulder to link an object to another

X (ps4) or A (xbox) button to remove links from an object

=Keyboard controls=

arrows to move

can't orient yourself, did i say i recommend playing with a pad ?

'C' to grab an object

'X' link an object to another

'V' to remove links from an object

=Main goal=

You need to bring the right cube (same color) on the greeny cuby thingy

link a cube to a blue ball will make the cube smaller

link a cube to a green ball will make the cube larger

white ball will set cubes on fire

dodge bugs by tilting your head while smilling

I love the graphics they're awesome, controls are clunky but you explained that a point to look at mouse would have been nice too but the idea is really nice and again the graphics are really nice. matches the theme nicely, would love to see the bugs ironed out later :)

Although the controls are difficult without a controller, the game and its goal does intrigue me. I think the graphics and music are nice, they fit really well. It still is a little unclear about what you need to do and it lacks visual feedback on what happens. Interesting concept though!

The controls using Keyboard don't work, good job anyway :)

I really like the game, especially the graphics!

Although would be amazing if you could add keyboard controls!

The atmosphere is very soothing and relaxing, I like it. Regarding gameplay I was confused as to what I had to do to be honest. I could link some object and not others and I had no clue why I had to link some of them; the level design suggested I had to unlock some areas but I had not clue as to do so. Besides that, I thought it was really enjoyable.

This is very relaxing. I actually had an enjoyable time just trying to figure the game out lol. It was satisfying when I started to get stuff to interact, like when I dragged the orbs to the boxes and they burned down. I think with some more time for level design to help explain the game properties, this could be really interesting. Good job! Also, did you use probuilder to make the level assets? It looks good. Oh and nice touch getting controller support in.

Very nice graphics and the music is cool ! I don't really find out what I have to do but I definitely want to find about it !

Dodging bugs is my favorite pastime. Doesn't work out of the box with a Steam Controller though.

It's hard to understand how everything works, but anyway, it's a funny little game with some kind of liberty. I like this :)
However, the link kinda didn't work on my controller x_x

While I wasn't really sure what was going on or what I was supposed to do, this game has a really cool vibe to it, and I love the atmosphere!

I really liked the atmosphere of the game, very realxing and it invites you to explore and find out what you have to do. I also liked the controller support, playing it was very comfortable but would be nice to add keyboard controls too, just in case. Really nice game in general!

Easily one of the best jam games I played so far. Interesting mechanic, not too hard, very relaxing to play. Especially the controller support was superb!

Excellent work throughout. What I like most about the game is the music, and the graphics. They really create an atmosphere of mystery and intrigue, and I wanted to know more about the place and what was going on. It took me a while to figure out what I needed to do, and there was an Aha moment when I did. This could be developed well into a puzzle / exploration game.

Looks nice, plays a bit confusingly. Wasn't quite sure where I was supposed to go, or which objects I was supposed to throw together (I know you posted some spoilers in the description, but obviously that's not quite the right way to go about it.)
Other than that it felt quite polished. Good stuff.

Interesting concept. I like the scope of the world. It's small enough that you can get to know the whole map, but there's enough to explore that it is interesting. The music is nice, and the graphics are simple and clean. I found myself getting launched into the middle of nowhere a lot, which made it hard to make progress. I would have liked a guide, since it was hard to figure out what to do. But overall I thought it was neat.
