How does your game fit the theme?
We build a space game with a gravitational orbit, so the projectiles and the satillites all loop around the planet. They also loop around their own axis. The player also loops around the earth. The UI is also made to give the effect of a loop, you are in front of the screen playing a game where you are in front of an arcade screen playing an arcade game.
(Optional) Please credit all assets you've used
All the visual assets are made in illustrator and photoshop and after effects.
For the sound effects we went to Freesound and are edited in Reaper.
Music is all made with Arturia, Reaper en IRL instruments.

Very creative, very nice! Addictive gameplay with a great balance — hard at first, then becomes easier but never too easy. Keeps you coming back for more. Love the artwork! Also, the gameplay explanation is very clear. Keep going, ejaa!
Very fun visuals and enjoyable gameplay! Cool game, well made 👏
The visuals are insane! Love the UI, very cool concept!
WOW I really love the visuals, It is soo cool seeing the machine!!!!
I really like the gameplay too, timing was the key for me.
Well done, cool concept! :D
Very addictive game, been playing for over an hour! The beginning was a bit difficult, so it would be good to gradually increase the difficulty after people have gotten the hang of the game. Because once you know how the game works, it starts to become real fun. So definitely a lot of potential!
Appreciate the valuable feedback, thx for playing!!
I thought this was a very cool idea but I also found it very difficult and wasn’t able to get very far points wise, the connections felt quite unforgiving at times. I think going a little easier would be good, especially in a game jam context. Overall very well done though, the art and sound were quite impressive for game jam time constraints also.
Thank you very much. Making the difficulty dynamic was a real issue, but next time we will focus on that!
a little confusing at first but well done!
Sorry for the confusement but i am glad you liked it!
Well I don't know what I expected from the title... for it sure wasn't this! At first I was like "what... what is this?" And took me a bit to get the hand of it, but then got totally addicted to it. It's hard but super fun at the same time, even when you have a bunch of satelites and it's kinda chaotic. I also rally liked the arcade look. Well done!
PS: There should be a game mode where everything really goes into the square hole ahah
Thank you for the nice wordss. I LOVEEE the idea of the square hole being a joker, HOW DID WE NOT COME UP WITH THAT!!
This game is hard! your page looks great. the tutorial images really helped to understand the game.
Thank you, our artist worked hard on the page!
Fun idea, kinda hard. I am not sure if I like the arcade skinning though.
Thx for playing!
I love the idea of the game, I think it's pretty neat and satisfying to put the block onto the satellite! I managed to get 6750 points, and it was really fun!

Thanks Pemmy for playing and giving great feedback on stream!
Only thing stopping this game from being a damn near perfect endless puzzler (especially for jam scope) is the escalation. It does start out to difficult, and doesn't really ramp up too hard in terms of difficulty, if you make that curve more dynamic then this game would be flawless because the actual interaction here is VERY cool, VERY novel, and VERY well presented. Awesome stuff!
You are VERY much appreciated, and your game was also VERY nice! Thanks for playing.
Very engaging game!
Though sometimes my vestibular system did glitch out a bit :)
Great graphics and smooth controls.
Here’s my record so far:
Glad you liked to game enough to grind for that great score !
A nice relaxing game in space. Lovely toylike satellites. hit myself in the face with a square. It did not fit and i died. Nice fusion mechanic as well.
Thanks for playing,making the docking satisfying was time consuming :D
I am very bad at this, but the sounds and art make failing enjoyable regardless. Sleek presentation and such a cute idea.
Haha no worries, we made it a bit too hard. Thx for playing!
I loved the arcade cabinet presentation ! Super creative idea !
Thank you for playing, and for the kind words!
Very fun arcade game with a super cool take on the theme! The presentation was impeccable, excellent work on the artwork and audio!
Thank you so much, we're happy the arcade feel stuck with so many people!
Very neat puzzle game! Admittedly I'm not great at it, but it is very enjoyable. The graphics are also very well-done, I really like the arcade cabinet border (and the fact that the buttons and stick actually move, great detail!) And the fact you simulated the CRT scan-line effect, fun touches!
Finally, the audio. It's incredible: the adaptive music and well-picked sound effects were a treat!
Such nice words, thank you very much. Yeah we went all in for the feels like your playing on a real arcade machine. Maybe we also went a little too deep on the difficulty of these arcade games where they steal your money by making it hard and addictive haha. Thx for playing!
I thought it was a bit too hard but then I played some more and got 16745 points. It was a ton of fun once I got used to it . The aesthetics and theming are on point as well. Definitely one of my favorites so far!
Thank you for the compliments. And again thank you for streaming all those games, you guys make this gamejam really come alive!!
You overestimate my skill
Jokes aside, this was actually a really fun game once I figured out what I was supposed to be doing. The music that started playing once I hit a combo was a nice touch, and you definitely made winning feel satisfying. Also, I love that the main mechanic carries some risk since your own blocks can kill you. Good job!!
But you are a great gamer, I know it!! Thx for the great feedback and thanks for playing :D
