~ Story ~
Whole worlds are cracking and falling apart.
Who you gonna call to reconnect the pieces?
There's only one robot for this dirty job.
It's your Friendly Extraterrestrial Assembly Robot!
His friends call him Fear.

~ Instructions ~
Move with WASD or arrows, use turbo with Spacebar
Reassemble the shattered pieces of the worlds, don't let them fly off (only happens in HC)
Avoid black holes and don't let "her" troll you
Toggle minimap with M and get a hint with H
Quit to level select with Esc

~ Credits ~
Thanks to my brother Mirko aka ketzerbeorn for testing, to my friend Dirk for help with the basic idea and to my bro Danny for general awesomeness

Nice idea, it will be best if everything move a little faster. It will make it more fun. Congrats!

Her.... HER... Ugh.... I liked this game :D
I found it to be really difficult, but enjoyed it!

Interesting game. Fitting in that last piece is always a chore. Maybe make the pieses snap in place easier?
Also the menu was confusing... Hardcore mode Checkbox should be more visibly different from the level buttons.

And I hoped so much, that completing every level in HC mode would make something special happen. Why did you make me hope for something? :)

Original concept, funny alien girlfriend, terrifying living black-hole and insane puzzle system! That would describe the game pretty well :)

For some reason I really, really liked this. The art was kinda simplistic, but the character design made the whole physics aspect much easier, and quite satisfying. Great use of physics.

interesting idea, well done

Neat idea, and well executed! I love the music, it is really good! I like that you implemented several levels introducing various concepts and different challenges. The graphics are a little so-so imo, but I like the character design. The thought of a smiling moon-sized robot is awesome! :D

Liked the music. Found it way too difficult.

It's really difficult and with safari you haven't sound and music.

first i thought that i had to precisely place the planet together. Maybe some "construction simulation" mechanism would be cool. Like you could grab the part... insert it to place and weld it together. Also: interesting take on the theme

I can't even imagine hardcore mode on this... Nice game!

I failed miserably. But good game, the concept was very interesting. Well done!

An interesting game, but I don't know if I found it fun. More frustrating, really. :P But I still played through it.

Feedback on your UI: The Hardcore/Regular selection was a bit confusing. Maybe it would be better to have something like

- The Beginning -
Regular - Hardcore

Where clicking on the beginning did nothing but clicking on regular or hardcore started the game.

Just stuff to think about for your next LD!

Great game , music and idea. I dont really have bad things to say about it, so cheers! :D

Quite challenging. Loved the music and physics!

Nice work! I liked how weighty this felt with just physically pushing things around and trying to overcome the angular momentum and such. I had one moment where a piece was spinning across the space and it looked like it was going to spin right into the last slot, but it just barely didn't make it. If you can detect cases like that, I'd cheat them in because it would have made me feel like a badass :D Nice polishy touches like the shooting stars in the starscape, etc.
