Best puzzler I've seen so far. And darn good use of the theme, 5/5.
This is really nice. I think it's just because I'm crap at puzzles that I won't get past the first two puzzles... :(
There is no sound but also no need for sound. Very clear and original. For me also a 5/5 score.
But it crashes in Chrome (tried it several times).
I had to play it in Internet Explorer!
Just FYI, there are sound effects (but no music), which give a couple subtle clues to the gameplay. If you figured out the rules without sound, I wouldn't worry about getting it to work. :)
GENIUS. Best original puzzle game I've seen in this comp. And beautiful simple animation too.
I initially had trouble understanding the goal, but once I saw the stars disappearing I caught on. I really liked this! It had great aesthetic, good audio feedback and really challenging puzzles!
Great game. Fiendish puzzles. Couldn't get past the quarter circle level.
I just saw your post on r/WebGames and I must say this is one of the best games I've played this LD. Really on theme and REALLY well designed. Good job.
Wonderful puzzle game. Really nice presentation. Subtle and effective.
You're supposed to play the game and then rate it out of 5 stars using the categories above.
Really nice little game, I wasn't able to get all the stars though :(
This is a really neat puzzle. I only got through a few levels, but they were well worth it, since they were challenging enough and since some new mechanics were revealed before I had to give up.
Wow, maximum theme approach! I didn't know what to do at first, but then I really enjoyed it. Thanks!
This game is way too hard for my puny mind, but it's pretty fun nonetheless and it nails the theme so well.
very, VERY hard. but perfect that way!
understood immediately, but can't solve either half.
oh: put a + in the middle and youve got yourself a towlr!
Masterful design. I got up to the second set of half-circles before I had to stop playing (it's TOO fun), but I'll be back for another go.
Wow. Elegant mechanic and perfectly presented. Thank you!
Nice puzzle. Spent some time until I figgured out what to do.
Fiendishly tricky. I had to break out pencil and paper just to do them. I haven't even come close to solving the last level! (At least, I hope the circle's the last level??)
First of all: Thank you for commenting on my game! :D
Onto the game itself:
I finally solved the first one and ohnotherearemore :c
This puzzle game has outsmarted me. Let's see if some good old pencil and paper can beat it. Fantastic, amazing job!
Eh, I commented too fast:
I wanted to say that it'd be great to have a restart button, and at least one level was solvable without using all the circles, but if you go to the centre it doesn't find it valid.
And this is devilishly hard. How many levels are there?
Awesome. The mechanic is introduced perfectly without handholding, and the puzzles are bloody hard!
Outstanding puzzler. Presentation is lovely. One of my favorites so far, no question!
Outstanding game. This may be my favorite so far. It fits the theme perfectly, the puzzles are hard, but doable, and the graphics and audio match up wonderfully. I actually like how hard it is at first, because part of the allure is that you have to figure out how the puzzles work before you can begin to solve them. Elegant game. Well done!
You could've used a first tutorial level "full circle" in which you just connect 2 dots, just so the player would figure out what to do easier. Also, somewhat steep difficulty curve. Apart from that, very elegant and smart game, well done.
Some instructions might have been helpful, but I figured it out pretty quickly. I tried for a bit but never completely collected all of the stars. A fun concept (reminds me of a childhood puzzle) that would make the transition to touch on mobile nicely.
oh another puzzle I can't solve... sigh. it'd be unfair to rate this low because of my fail. I like the presentation and music, so 4/5 overall ;)
Superb execution. Though it was a rather step difficulty. Might wanna have simpler levels for the first two, just so you start to get the hang of it. The graphics has a really nice flow to it.
Lovely style, animation, and sound. Wicked puzzles. I got everything but the final right-half-circle puzzle. I can see the symmetry, but I can't make it work.
Great game. I wish I had seen this during voting. I played it all the way through, I can't leave a puzzle unsolved. The difficulty at the end was more then I had expected, but was still solvable. So again, great game!

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Simple but great style, a bit tricky but really fun to play
