What the SIGNAL??!

Link to itch doesn't work :(

@no-firing Sorry, it was 5:30AM, forgot to pick "public"...
Please, try again, now should be working

@discomorphine NP! :)
But, how I Can make the Iron now?

And I can't to send anyway

@no-firing using ✨c o m m u n i c a t i o n✨ ;)
It's a puzzle game, so no spoilers 🤐
But in 1-2 hours I'll add a walkthrough and notify you if you`ll still be interested

@no-firing you should use Observatory (E key) to ✨catch a signal✨ :)

I get nuked out of nowhere lol.

@floonace probably, said smth inappropriate, didnt you?

@discomorphine No no no. I saw something like a nuclear bomb in the game. You got me worried for a moment so I double checked. It's a nuclear bomb.

@floonace YEP
That happens when you say smth inappropriate to aliens in space dialogues🤷‍♂️

@discomorphine Oh my God! I accidentally became a space-bully without even knowing it lol. 💀

@floonace yeah... Think about it before sleeping

Interesting game, cool use of the theme the only thing i would suggest is a bit more of a tutorial / guidance at the start but other than that really nice.

This is an interesting concept that I would probably enjoy but there doesn't seem to be any in game way to determine what the symbols mean, which makes it degrade into a guessing game that I didn't find particularly fun. I loved the art and getting nuked because of miscommunication was entertaining, but I couldn't figure out how to actually progress the game without looking at the spoiler doc.

@bigdippers @bentglasstube Thanks for your honest opinion!

Actually, there IS a way to find out things: if you look closely, on EVERY word, you can find out that

!> the thing you are given at the very beginning is 3 stones and they say smth about 3 stones back. Then you trade for it and get 1 iron. At this point, you already know words for 1, 3, stone and iron.

I'm agree, it's tough, maybe, too tough, youre right. But it can be won if you spend like 60-90 minutes on it))))

Not judging if you don't, ofc – I would not)

I liked the idea of contacting and trading with other planets. Don't think the cryptic messages or the bombing worked that well for me.

"Look it was miscommunication no need to drop a nuke...". Really cool Idea, I definitely needed the walkthrough to get a grip. The amount of work you put into the alien language is really cool. I think the game might benefit from a stronger focus on the decoding part, it was a bit weird to mine resources in between. The added mechanical complexity also makes it harder to figure out the core gameplay.

Neat idea! I gave up on trying to figure out what the words meant pretty quickly (just kept getting nuked and reset to the beginning :laughing:). I glanced at the walkthrough and pulled up the dictionary and kind of enjoyed it when I was just looking things up in a dictionary (that alone added to the challenge =). I managed to make contact with 4 different star systems, but at that point seeing the daunting amount of repetitive trades I'd have to make, I shamefully gave up -_-. It would have been nice if the trade dialog remembered the destination, that first planet must have been getting really suspicious that I kept hurtling rocks their way without provocation... (serves them right for nuking me in another life)

An interesting game with cool graphics. I felt there weren’t quite enough hints about what you can interact with. It would be nice to add some sounds =)

I didn't understand how to play, can you explain it to me?

Cool art — the technical side is a bit rough, but it looks cozy and stylish :)
Since the fonts didn’t load properly for me, I couldn’t fully appreciate the signal idea, but the gameplay loop is simple and pleasant — liked it. Thanks for the game!
