best game ever ! It was so fun and cozy !! I'm happy that I found all of the animals ! I was struggling at first since at the time I only needed five more and was taking breaks throughout the weeks to complete it-- but after using Sylvia it was much faster and made the game even better ! (love Sylvia and her song in general, the dialogue for her was so heartwarming and made me smile <3) love the game so much, the art + animation is so amazing !
Very sweet game! I loved the anticipated final ride on Sylvia and special dialogue and song for her. I've only recently played your games but seeing you make things with such heart is very inspiring to me, I'd love to try my hand at something half as good as this. Thank you
I found it attractive. It's something I could see myself playing for hours. I wish I could disable the built-in controller support. If I could, the number of controllers this would cleanly work with would be way higher.
Incredible game, the dialog when you find all the animals made me tear up a little. Such a heartfelt reminder to be kind to yourself and your art i loved it!
Lovely game ! I'm a huge earthbound fan and I felt right at home with the funny descriptions :) The characters are cute and the pixel art looks lively and playful. Great job ! :D
thank you for making this!!! genuinely so inspiring and made me really want to just open a sketchbook again and make a little world and embrace the beauty of creation!!!!!!!!!
i first saw this by happenstance because of some fanart i saw on tumblr and i'm so happy that it crossed my path because it is such an absolute delight to look at, to listen to, and to experience. all the animal interactions are so fun and sylvia was a really endearing and practical addition ! thank you thank you thank you !
HEAD OVER HEELS in LOVE with the animation!!!! the characters are so charming, the music is whimsical and lovely!!! one thing that slightly bothered me was the font, which i found a bit hard to read. i also felt myself craving something more?! combat, story, idk. but it was a lovely game and a super cute story!!!!!
I loved this game so much! It was super fun and I loved the story. I do have a few suggestions for future games. There wasn't really a menu section while in game, I wanted to change the controls but I wasn't able to. You can't skip the dialogue I tried to replay the game but had to go through the story again. Also when you enter the game there is no main menu, I tried to go in to see the credit section again but wasn't able to without going through the whole thing. Other than this I loved this game, music and the plot.
This was so charming and fun to play, in and of itself its such an innovative way to approach design, the world feels so alive and the characters are so sweet. I loved every aspect of this game.
The animations are perfect and I felt more and more touched by the game the closer I got to finding all 61 animals, thank you so much for making this beautiful masterpiece.
I'm so charmed by this game; my heart is so touched that I'm at a bit of a loss for words. What a lovely little (and genuinely inspirational) experience. Thank you Shape, and a big thank you to each and every person who contributed to this game- I'm so grateful for your efforts, your creativity, and to have been able to play it!
Just finished this up and really enjoyed it! It was really nicely polished from the animation to the music to the UI. I really vibed with the overall feel of the game. Although the game play did feel a tad tedious by the end the music and artistry were more than enough to keep my attention until the end. Really awesome to see how you've progressed from my last purchase Apple Quest Monsters. Can't wait to see future games of yours!
Nice little game, really enjoyed. Just a heads up, don't know if it was a bug or not, but on the Linux version, the character is auto moving to the left.
Thank you so much for making this!! I really loved wandering around and meeting all the animals. The spritework, animation and colours were all lovely - I enjoyed just moving my character around the screen cause of how charming it all was.
And, the final conversation really moved me too! I draw and create quite a lot, almost always just for myself, but I’ve been trying to share a little more recently. I do love the process of working on stuff that makes me smile without anyone else in mind, but I’m sure there’s a healthy balance there. For what it’s worth, I’ve enjoyed your art for a while now & it’s been a pretty significant inspiration to me, so I’m really glad you have chosen to share some of it with the world! Look forward to seeing whatever you make in the future :)
a truly charming and lovely game from the heart. getting older, it gets harder to pick which games to play, with so little time on your hands. ive been struggling with it more recently since last yr. i was super delighted to find out splendidland was working on another game apart from the highly anticipated amazing treasure valley!! esp one about hanging out with monsters (one of my fave genres!!) you never know what to expect, and pushing others to create and true to themselves as well...i have so much more i could say. but truly..wonderful. thank you to splendidland and the team that made this. thisll be on my mind for a very long time
Oh, my gosh. This was such a delightful experience. I definitely teared up a bit at the end! I just love the characters. I found all 61 animals and loved the little twist at the end, but also the endearing payoff. Oh, and the lovely surprise tune you get when befriending Sylvia just enhanced the overall experience, even more. Thank you so much for this game!
THIS GAME WAS SO AWESOME!!! Me and my friend had a wonderful time playing it. The sprites and animation were so charming and delightful. I love this strange little planet!!! (i also love the franken references too, hehe)
I’m assuming you’re referring to the colorful person at the end. That would be Shape, the being that created the formless star and the animals that live on it. She is #61. I found her after finding all 60 other animals. :)
Wanted to put a spoiler tag, fumbled around a bit. the deleted post is mine, haha
You know, when you made Mega Man Sprite Game I started following you for your sense of humor, which to this day almost perfectly matches mine. Just the humor though. That was about it. Then from time to time I would see you mentioned as a designer of a few other things I liked and thought "well, that's neat". What I'm trying to say is that I've never really seen your more serious work (serious as in not a complete shitpost). Anyway, the point. The point is that I like this. I really, really, REALLY like this. The ending - the whole talk with Shape - it was such a touching metaphor and resonated with me on a pretty personal level. And honestly, I think it kinda made me take a step back and say "this person has an AMAZING artstyle, just beaming with creativity". I love this. I want to see more.
Honestly, I downloaded this game out of boredom and spite, and the cover was so eye-catching! I loved space and astronomy, too! I spent an hour finding all the animals and laughing at their abilities! This game is so fun. I loved every detail. I loved the lore, too! I hope to play another game like this on this platform—or another game by the same devs!
I REALLLLYY RWALLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY like I can't explain enough, REALLY loved this game, it's all I could ever want in a game, the characters are interesting, and cute, the aesthetics are fun, music great, and just UGHH I WANNA EAT ITTTTT amazing job, I hope to see more of your amazing work in the future, I look forward to it! I had an amazing time playing this game <3
i need to rewrite the hint for this one a little bit but #54 is "in disguise", and it only appears near the hot biome. #61 appears when you have every other creature!

This was made in what engine?
it's made with OHRRPGCE!
Lot of heart in this game, also the perfect game for me to play after I did a bunch of work on a game jam game n' needed somethin' cozy <3
I also really like the heart-to-heart with the player at the end, thank you for sharing your planet n' I hope to get to share more of mine someday!

Bravo! Bravo! What a wonderful way to spend an hour
Thank you so much everyone for the support on Formless Star!
The soundtrack is now available to listen to!
Oh, my gosh. This was such a delightful experience. I definitely teared up a bit at the end! I just love the characters. I found all 61 animals and loved the little twist at the end, but also the endearing payoff. Oh, and the lovely surprise tune you get when befriending Sylvia just enhanced the overall experience, even more. Thank you so much for this game!
Can you add a button that lets me give Sylvia 20 bucks to say thanks
I was here.
thanks, Shape.
I love all of the creatures on the Formless star, they’re all unique and fun! Sylvia has my heart 🤍
THIS GAME WAS SO AWESOME!!! Me and my friend had a wonderful time playing it. The sprites and animation were so charming and delightful. I love this strange little planet!!! (i also love the franken references too, hehe)
Such a sweet game with really charming sprites, so glad I played!
Please enjoy this picture of me interrupting a normal heterosexual couple
who was the person waving at the end of the game? did i miss something or are they just there?
I finished the game (and LOVED IT :D.
SPOILERS. Find all the animals first!
I’m assuming you’re referring to the colorful person at the end. That would be Shape, the being that created the formless star and the animals that live on it. She is #61. I found her after finding all 60 other animals. :)
Wanted to put a spoiler tag, fumbled around a bit. the deleted post is mine, haha
thank you!!
I CRIED AT THE END and alot of the animations made me smile. this was so pleasant thank yu!
This was so beautiful.
I've been following you for probably a few years now, and when I heard your game was finally done I was so happy!
IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN I'D IMAGINED!!
Thank you for making this!!!! I played it with my son and he loved it too.
And Shape, I get you.
You know, when you made Mega Man Sprite Game I started following you for your sense of humor, which to this day almost perfectly matches mine. Just the humor though. That was about it.

Does anyone know how to find animals #54 and #61? :0
i need to rewrite the hint for this one a little bit but #54 is "in disguise", and it only appears near the hot biome. #61 appears when you have every other creature!
