After playing through a few more levels, I decide that this is definitely a creative twist that actually worked, and that this is an underrated game that I'll fave. I detest thy lack of edit button!
Its really hard, and if you get the hang of it, you'll also find out that your plane shouldn't be "in" the star to get it, the pointer should. It requires skill, great for first. I'm 5/5 faving.
