This was a super cool entry that reminded me a lot of the most unexpected blend of the strategic map on X-Com: Enemy Unknown and also the Chao Garden in Sonic Adventure 2! (Never thought I'd ever see someone put those two together, haha).

I really enjoyed trying to find out what all the aliens were and how I'd need to defeat them, it felt like a really well thought out game. :)

My only issue with it was that the movement speed was really slow and also movement itself was kind of unnecessary. It could have been consolidated into menus alone, but it really is a small thing for a great jam game!

Here is a short "making of" video if anyone is interested!

I think it can definitely be improved once polished. I like the idea at the core of the game, although sometimes moving across interfaces felt a bit slow.

It was an ambitious project but super proud of how this one turned out, the whole team did great :D

To anyone trying it out, it may seem complex at first for a game jam game but just take your time and try interacting with all the different terminals. There's no time pressure because you choose when to advance the turns so have fun!
