Really happy with how the ai generated art turned out and I like the ambience of the game. Game play is very simple and basic, would have liked more time to design something a bit more engaging but as always with game jams its a trade off for where we want to spend our time. Overall I'm happy with what I created. I've learned that in a 72 hour period I probably only do about 20-25 hours of actual game making. Given that short about of time its hard for me to make more ambitious games during a jam. So I know if I want to make games of a bigger scale I'll probably need to work in teams but then there is a trade off working in teams in that you lose some of your creative vision and it becomes more collaborative which is good too but its a very different kind of development process.

At first I had no clue where the balls would come from, it took a while to not miss the beacons because of the offset. A indication in the artwork or something else, visually showing where the orbs would come would have been helpful.
this game is really pretty and peaceful! I enjoyed it, thanks for bringing it by the stream :)
Some sort of sci-fi beat would have been cool.
Nice job regardless.
