Took me a while to understand that the "papers please" and similar dialogs were stuff that people didn't like. I seems like spamming that is a pretty decent strategy anyway haha. But once I realized that, I tried to play without it, and finding a good strategy was fun.
Great job with the signalling mechanic, felt really good and fitting for the theme!
I died once, when I clicked the trade button incorrectly on purpose to see what would happen. Sort of curious to see what happens if I intentionally send bad signals to aliens.
I think adding more clear instructions to the game would help people enjoy this more. It was fun when I figured it out, but I can see that a lot of people stumbled on this.
Also, cool that you programmed it in C!
