it's so incredible art style

This game deserves more ratings. The art style is amazing, and the atmosphere the game gives is incredible. The only thing that I would say is that I'm not really sure how it ties into the theme. Other than that, well done!

What a visually impressive game! I love the artstyle, presentation and the atmosphere. Although it wasnt exactly clear to me if there was an end goal or any progression. Thoroughly enjoyed it as a peaceful drift through the starways. Sound and music also on point!

I liked your kind of art, it fits perfectly in the game's theme.

Love art style with and the atmospheric music. The game is very clean and simple concept but well executed.

I love the art and the music. I would've liked some more backstory to the game but it was very well put together!

It's really pretty! There's not so much gameplay, but the mood is there. The artwork/graphics are fantastic. With some kind of variations an more possibilities to "draw" with the stars, you could have a nice little relacing game with this!

Good job!

Even though there is not much "gameplay" I feel the mood and I really like the concept of the game, the art and the music really matched together and it is a beautiful experience. Good job!

I rarely give away a 5.0 star rating in a category. But your art style went far beyond the typical Ludum Dare entry. Well done.

This game have alot of potential. The art the sound design is amazing but I had no idea what the end goal were? Do just need to draw pretty pictures with the stars? @quak is right, I also struggle to see what your approuch on theme is. But well done. Just expand on it a bit more.

Love the art and music. Really liked the idea of connecting stars together to form some kind of a constellation. It would be great if there was a full screen mode.

Great job!

This is the most beautiful game I have seen at the Jam right now. The music accompanies perfectly. You have even made a website! Awesome work. I loved it

Best game i have played in the jam so far. It was weirdly relaxing. I wasn't know what was I doing, but i couldn't stop myself doing it.

Like everyone in the thread have to respect art skills. For real it's amazing. Didn't get why we can't do it in fullscreen.

Strong mood. Nice sounds and graphics. Very intuitive and simple. I wish tere is an ending. And i did not figure out how to toggle bottom toggler and why.

The art in this is simply gorgeous. I rated you 5 stars in graphics and mood! My only complaint is I wish there was more story.
Jeffrey M7 Oct 2020, 03:35
Nice job on making the game so atmospheric! I feel like the game would benefit from manual control of the boat though.
nareh7 Oct 2020, 16:49
What a beautiful game! The first time I clicked to see the flashlight and the stars, I audibly went "wow". This was a nice experience! I think it would've been nice to get some more story once the stars are visible, otherwise I get the silence, as it's the loop theme! Well done.

A very beautiful game, I was shocked when I right clicked and then even more shocked when I realised it was a flashlight. The art, sound effects and general ambience were on point! I guess I was waiting for some kind of transition or progression or a challenge/puzzle. Overall excellent entry and I'm not sure how you did it in time.

A ton of potential here, the art is absolutely beautiful!

This game is breathtakingly beautiful!
As pretty much everyone else I would love to see a fullscreen mode)
Celes8 Oct 2020, 08:17
I think I can kind of see the "Stuck in a loop" theme going on with your game, but at the same time I also wish I knew what the end goal of the same was.
Also beautiful art and music btw! I could really feel the mood of the game.

This is hands down the most beautiful game I've seen on this jam so far. Playing this game took me somewhere out of this world, somewhere calm and positive. This game made me feel relaxed. The general ambience is on point! You did an amazing job here.

This is absolutely beautiful, in art as well as sound and mood. It's quiet, almost somber, offering a moment of reflection -- a stark contrast to most of the other jam games. I also appreciate how the introduction elegantly hints at deeper lore, some I would like to learn more about. Great entry!

This game is spectacularly beautiful!! Good job with the art!

Very original game, I don't think I will find anything like it at Ludum Dare, even though there are so many interesting games here. Beautiful soundtrack and excellent atmosphere.

The game looks really awesome, very original idea and the soundtrack is very atmospheric. Although I know it's meditative game I'd add a bit more gameplay and some kind of ending anyways, other than that, I love it!

Great art and amazing soundrack! Mysterious and mesmerizing.

A very beautiful, relaxing game. I always enjoy entries like this, they make a nice change of pace from the more action-oriented games that people tend to make. I also like the more subtle implementation of the theme: there's no goal or ending, you're just going round and round in a loop, linking up stars for as long as you want. Very good job!
