“Long ago, floating in the vacuum of space there were chunks of planets. You’re pretty sure that they’re supposed to be whole planets, so crack out the stapler, crazy glue, and tape to put them back together... if you do a good job you’ll get googly eyes!”

I made this game with a small team over 48 hours for Global Game Jam 2020.
