They came in peace. In this wacky language puzzle game, you are Earth's appointed ambassador to the newly discovered Legion of Interstellar Peoples (LIP), consisting of 6 alien species, each with their own preferences. In order to summon them for the Milky Way's most excellent potluck, you must master their languages deductively and get them to say Earth’s coordinates.
Didn't quite understood what my goal is. One of the creatures eventually said Earth's address but nothing happened. Also for me order of the messages seemed pretty random so I messed up correct message several times. It's a good concept and some clarification in the game of my goal or progress would be great! Thanks for the game!
Maybe I'm dumb but that was way too hard. At first I tried analyzing a single aliens patterns and thought they were like flipping the order of the first 4 characters and then sliding them to the left, but their next message proved that incorrect which made me believe I was overthinking it. So then I thought it was a simple substitution puzzle and tried to get an alien to say earth by translating their symbols using my previous response as a reference. This took a while because the symbols are kind of hard to identify at a glance and my message is offset from the alien messages in the chat box so I cant just directly compare them.
After spending a decent amount of time converting the aliens smiley faces, atoms, molecules, stars, saturns, and black holes to my smiley faces, atoms, molecules, stars, saturns, and black holes, while also translating each individual color, the alien replied with complete gibberish.
At that point I gave up. While I might be too dumb for the puzzle, I think the main issue is that you didn't give any real instructions or hints, so I had no idea if I was over analyzing, trying too hard or not trying hard enough. I also think you added way too many variables to start with. 8 unique symbols, 6 unique colors, and then the randomness of having 6 aliens who might or might not respond to the message.
The idea is cool and the graphics are really nice, but the gameplay is either way too difficult or there's just too much information thrown at you at once to be able to easily figure out what to do.
Very interesting puzzles, and it's fun to come around the earth after successful phone homies. It might also be nice if the successfully summoned friends could have some effect, but that's likely just for me. Graphics are very unique, Nice work!
Your game has a really intriguing concept! The art style is fantastic, and the puzzle element kept me engaged. I did find it a bit challenging to understand the goal and how to match up the different codes, but once I got the hang of it, it was quite enjoyable. Some additional clarity on the objective and progress indicators would be really helpful. Keep up the great work!
Really nice game! Loved seeing the spaceships appear when I got a correct answer.
It was a little overwhelming to start with - might have been nice to introduce them one at a time and get rid of the aliens once they have been summoned because there was a lot going on on the screen at one time.
Really fun project! Right at the start there was quite a lot of information coming at me at once, but once I got the hang of it it was a really fun little puzzle! I think the art style is cute, and I really enjoyed the game!
Really cool concept that I would love to see fleshed out further! It was super difficult to digest and I would have appreciated a bit more in the way of hints or guidance in how the puzzles function. The artstyle was really nice, and I loved the little alien guys! Overall really solid project!
I was able to get 3 of the aliens to come but I struggled figuring out what I could send to get the rest of them to talk to me alone so that it would be easier to decipher
