A simple and rather relaxing game. The idea of genesis, starting with nothing and creating the world, is interesting, and definitely fits the theme! It was calming just sitting around and creating stars, then making the earth and designing it as you wish. The visuals, although simple, definitely work and are in general neat in their design. The music really adds to the game's soothing influence, and while it is a bit short it still sounds pretty good! Overall, the game was a nice, short little experience, but more content would for sure have helped the game feel a bit more interesting. You quickly reach the end (unless there is more content I haven't yet found), and it's a shame the game is cut quite short once you get to populating the earth, as it feels like it has more potential. It would have been nice to see some more customization for the earth, maybe adding some houses, or other types of terrain? Otherwise, though, you managed to find something that fits well with the theme, and that feels interesting. Nice job!

It is a very neat relaxing game. The music is peaceful and adds to the effect. I found that I was able to place land outside of the planet and that made me giggle. It is a nice game, but seeing more content would be nice

Definitely starting with nothing and ended up with something! I do wish that the world would start becoming alive rather than feeling a little like a painting. There's not much interaction and that's where it falls a little short. Post-compo version ahead?

I think I used too many stars and now I can't populate my earth, sad. Nice entry though :)

That cluster of stars is me trying to recreate the creation of the earth :-D I think I realized at about the point when I tried to place some stars that, heyyy, this is a planet! Very cute, very relaxing, and a nice interpretation of the theme!

I didn't feel like there was a lot of content missing. I played a couple of times, each time carefully terraforming my new planet to see new landscapes <3

The sound when creating a star is a bit odd, I feel like it doesn't matched the rest of the sounds nor the atmosphere of the game. Great work tho, congrats!

Lovely BGM! Although its peacefulness is kinda disrupted by the harsher SFX.
The actual area of landmasses didn't seem to be accurately reflected by their sprites.
It would've been cool to see the landmasses wrap around the planet to give an illusion of 3D.
