WARNING: UNFINISHED

A sun gardening game made using Unity Tiny Mode. Did not get to finish so there's nothing to the game, but it's a decent proof of concept...

TAP/DRAG/MOUSE around to move your spaceship around and use your tractor beam to attract the asteroids towards the suns

Tools: Unity

Ah unfortunate you couldn't finish but the ufo following the mouse feels really nice. It has a very smooth bouncy feeling.

very smooth controls, unfortunate you didn't have time to finish the game. But keep up the effort :)

Very noticeably unfinished, but I love the way the asteroids fly around the planets.

This is the first time ever seen an unfinished game, I guess I was never alone :). I did finish this game jam game though.

I love how the asteroids animate end-over-end, because they're ovals they look like wobbly footballs. What was the gameplay meant to be if you had finished? PS: Thanks for giving me genuine feedback on my game.

@ruthiepee I never really crystalized the gameplay but it was going to be about using your ship's gravity to pull asteroids into suns to keep them burning, and then maybe there's multiple suns you have to balance, and eventually you can "harvest" a sun to add to your other suns, or create 2 new suns

I enjoyed the potato-like asteroids.
