Description

I wasn't expecting to do this game jam, but I wanted to try out some new stuff this time around. Instead of pixel art I used vector shapes this time around. I also made all of the music and sfx too. This was my first time using garage band and I guess making anything close to music to hopefully it sounds alright~

The theme was "running out of space". The interpretation I went for was "space" being stars and such and not a physical/digital "space". So in the case of the game, you're "running out of space" as you fill the sky with constellations.

Everything was created during the jam! I hope you enjoy it!

How to Play

  • Use the left mouse button to click and drag on stars to create constellations!
  • Constellations must have 3 stars or more!

Scoring Guidelines

Your score is a combination of all of the scores of the constellations you have made. Each constellation gets points as follows:

-    10pts for each star
-    10pts for each line
-   2pts * 500 / distance of each line (i.e. shorter lines get more points)
-    0.1pts * the angle between two consecutive lines (i.e. the larger your angles the more points)
-    10pts for each loop

And from this total value, you lose 50pts for each star that could’ve been in a constellation but wasn’t.
