Show HN: Starglyphs - A constellation puzzle game based on Euler paths

26 points by telman17 ago | 7 comments

I am a big Dragon Age fan and sunk hundreds of hours into Inquisition. It had this minigame called astrariums where you had to solve these shapes based on constellation guides by tracing stars. I'm a hobby game dev and wondered if I could procedurally generate these puzzles so they were always solvable. Turns out you can, so I built a space puzzle game around it with a colorful aesthetic. I released it in web form here but I'm currently working on getting it on Steam and mobile.

thanks for trying, it could be a lot of requests hitting it? I haven't seen that issue yet but if you got any kind of console error feel free to share it with me and I can take a look!

Thanks, I used Phaser to build it. The nebula textures are exported from art I did in Photoshop using some cloud brushes from brusheezy. It has a few dozen color palettes that it chooses at random that are used for the connections and the final nebula art.
