Enjoyed this a lot! The puzzles were pretty challenging but not unfair. And the atmosphere created was also really well done
I love how you handled the final decryption puzzle. It's pretty close as to how actualy decryption works. In fact I think you can implement some sort of "decryption key" puzzle instead. Where instead of figuring out the letters. You have to find the letters in the file system which creates the key
Overall had an amazing time playing! Looking forward to your next game!
Thank you so much for your feedback !
I love the visual design, and the bulk of the gameplay, while simple, was engaging and tied into the story well.
However, the decoding segment does not work as well for me. First of all, it's significantly harder than anything before or after it. Second of all, the "hints" are for things I never in a million years could have possibly guessed on my own. And finally, because decoding language is so dependent on being able to guess what certain words are, even minor typos like "researches" (the plural of "research" is just "research") can completely break the puzzle.
Overall I love the concept, and the visuals really tie everything together. Great job!
Thank you so much for your feedback ! I'm so sorry, english isn't my first language but I should have verify the wordings ! Thanks for noticing it :) The decoding game definitely needs some rework, I'll correct it in a post game jam update !
I will be making a community post to help make sure this game reaches 20 ratings and therefore qualifies.
I beat the virus in like 5 minutes and then I spent like 10 minutes decoding because that puzzle was so much more tedious. I did manage to succeed on the first playthrough, I don't know how long I had left (I spent 15 minutes and 20 seconds) but it was fun! If I could change one thing it would just be to add a puzzle about mathing out the course corrections and increase the time limit to compensate. Astounding work!
Thanks a lot for your feedback ! That's a great idea !!
Personally I don't like pop-up closing mechanic in games, but UI/Game Art took me in to try it out. Color selection and overall visual design was awesome.
Thanks a lot for your feedback !
very good game, the art is very inmersive, these remember me one game of steam
Thank you so much !

Really cool and well made!
We really liked how this game takes a fairly simple idea, but does it so well. The UI, or i guess in this game, all of it, is very clean, easy to understand, and feels polished.
We thought the puzzles were good and well designed, and we especially liked the code-breaking game! The game felt like it had enough parts to keep it interesting, but not so many it became overwhelming.
Really well done!

Thank you so much for your feedback ! I'm happy that you enjoyed it !
I guess I finished the game!! :D
The last puzzle was a bit too hard but the feeling of accomplishment is unparalleled. I can notice a huge amount of work went into designing the puzzles and I really enjoyed breaking them apart(kinda sorry but not ;D)
Really enjoyed the game. Maybe just a default text first before showing all the mission logs at a time. Thats what threw me off inititally since I though all mission logs will have different data but turn out they had the same.
Kudos, a fun puzzle game!!
Thank you so much for your feedback ! It looks like you didn't finished the game because you had to navigate to the next planet to avoid the storm, sorry ! I'm happy that you liked breaking the puzzles !!
Thanks for letting me know. I never leave my favorites unfinished :D
Thanks to your reply, I rated your game. I guess I was so mesmerized by the game I forgot to rate it the first time. My apologies =)
Well done !! You were fast ! Thank you so much for your interest for my game, it means a lot to me :)
This is really amazing! I love the decoding puzzle (in fact, I love all the puzzles!) Well done! I hope to see more puzzles from this game if you ever plan to expand it :D
Thank you so much ! I'm considering doing a post jam update, if I have enough time I'd love to add some puzzles !
Very polished and wonderful UI! The game does a great job at creating an intriguing world, and the hints in the decoding section were definitely appreciated as I likely wouldn't have figured it out otherwise :)
Thank you so much for your feedback !
5/5 Stars I can’t say better, the decoding was definitely hard and kinda break the pace, but I like these kind of puzzle so I didn’t mind :p
Thank you so much !! I'll update the difficulty in a post game jam update, I would like to let people choose the difficulty ! :)
Futuristic graphics! I think you could publish the encoded icon as a font.
Thank you so much !
Rally cool game, love this UI experience and design, it's really well done. Even with the hints I didn't really understand what the cipher means so I stopped there, but I may consider to play it again in the future since it was pretty fun, nice job on the game!
Thank you so much for your feedback !! I get what you mean, I'll do a post game jam update to balance better the difficulty :)
The audio really builds tension, really liked the riddles that given throughout the game! I did struggle a bit with the log decoding :)
Other than that, I think the game captures the theme in a very unique and original way and I loved it
PS: the color pallette is stunning IMO
Thank you so much !! What do you think about the decoding difficulty ?
I was a bit overwhelmed tbh... saw all those symbols and didnt really now where to begin. Maybe its just me but IMHO Maybe making them a bit shorter and using only a few letters :)
I get what you mean ! It was hard for me to juge the difficulty, but I'll definitely do an post game jam update to balance it better ! Thanks again for your feedback ! :)
Fun puzzles in this one. I like the simplistic art style and the decoding section was fun to figure out :D
Thank you so much !! What do you think about the decoding difficulty ?
Amazing game. I am embarrassed that it took me 25 minutes because of the decoding section. Once I saw the apostrophe and got the t though, it was smooth sailing.
Thank you so much !! What did you think about the difficulty ? Thanks again !
I think the difficulty was good. The game, as I see it, is almost a full fledged game(by which I mean one that I would understand having to pay for). Probably my favorite to win the competition. You got full stars from me (and I am a really tough judge usually.)
Great game! Love the presentation with the bot helping you and all. I just wished the viruses would have been a bit more diverse
Thank you so much for your feedback ! Do you have something specific in mind for the virus ? Thanks again !
