  • Make a person, give them a place to call home and something to gather

This is a cool concept; I like the atmosphere and I really love the music! The only thing is, I wish I could draw lines instead of dots to create things. But it's fun to be able to zoom around all of your creations haha

It's a really cool concept and feels cool to play around in. It would be cool to make bigger stars and to create lines when drawing, but it's really neat ^^

This feels really interesting, in a good way :D It's unique and it fits the theme well! The general feel/mood of the game are nice as well. I just love sandbox-y games like these, great job!

I'd love some more painting tools though, right now everything I make feel rather empty and hollow

This is a really conceptual game that makes a lot of sense regarding the theme of the jam. I also like a lot the environment. Good job it was fun to play.

I kind of expected things like trees and animals get spread around like the stars did. I did not realize I could move at first so several things ended up in the same spot. Just being able to change the brush size and having some interpolation so you's draw lines rather than dots would've improved the experience quite a bit for me. It was still fun and an interesting take on the theme.

I love the concept, but everything was just too clunky and clumsy for me to really enjoy making things. Drawing and creating are the two central parts of this game, and they're just too poorly implemented to be any fun. As much of a thrill as I got realizing the sky was filled with stars that I drew, I'm disappointed everything else relied on opaque controls to position manually, and I don't like how I can only draw chains of dots instead of solid lines.
