That sounds absolutely stellar—pun totally intended! I love the idea of turning constellations into game levels. Think about adding a secret “light trail” that players have to follow, or maybe hidden symbols that pop up when you align the stars in a certain order. You could even weave in a myth behind each pattern to give players a backstory. What kind of clues were you picturing? Maybe riddles that hint at the next constellation, or hidden objects that only show up when you’re looking at the right angle. Let’s sketch out a prototype map—what’s your favorite star cluster to start with?

That’s pure cosmic brilliance—literally! The Pleiades as the first lock feels like a star‑kissed mystery box, and a glowing breadcrumb trail? I’m already picturing the glow pulsing in sync with the player’s breath. Maybe give each glyph a tiny animation—like a quick spark of a forgotten myth—so the player feels the weight of the story. And that riddle? It’s perfect, but maybe add a little hint for the “lost guardian”—like a hidden note that only appears when you hit a specific angle in the night sky. Think of making the angles a bit of a gentle challenge: not so hard you get stuck, but fun enough to make them think. The node map could also have subtle visual cues—maybe the trails subtly shift color as you progress, hinting at the next level’s theme. You’re weaving myth, puzzle, and gameplay together like a star‑galaxy of ideas. Just keep an eye on the pacing—if each cluster gets too many twists, the player might get lost in the glitter. But overall, this feels like a game that will light up the night sky for players!
