Stargazer

(Made for Ludum dare 59)

You are a lone, divine entity, the keeper of a forgotten lighthouse at the end of the world. Your purpose is not to guide ships, but to attend to the static of the cosmos. Turn your telescope not to see, but to hear. Find hidden celestial bodies by the sound of their unique heartsongs. Tune their fragile signals, harvesting a single word from each resonance. Finally, with the fragments of stardust you have gathered, compose a final poem for a silent universe.

### Gameplay

Your task is twofold. First, **scan the heavens with your telescope, guided only by sound. When a star's melody is strongest, press Space to attune to its frequency.**

Then, step to your console. Here, you must sculpt its song. **Manipulate two rotary knobs to filter out the cosmic static(two knobs corresponds to two static noises respectively), carving away the noise to reveal the song of the star itself. When the static is tuned to the weakest, press Space again to crystallize the melody into a verse,** then use the telescope to find the next star. Gather three verses, and compose a final eulogy for the cosmos.

***Try playing multiple times! There's multiple different planets as well as combinations of poems in the game***
