Cool game! I've never played XCOM but I really like the concept. Had fun playing this, although the game is a bit laggy on the web build (the fps got really low after I scouted the whole map).

Away From KeyboardI shall destroy those puny humans and their measly resistance!
A bit more feedback on the controls would be nice, sometimes i wasn't sure if i had selected something or not, but fun game.

Noob Raiser (GMTK 2023)Cool game. I just wish it was clearer to see what I had selected, cause I ended up doing the wrong thing several times.

The Final FrontierThis is a cool game! The concept of discovering territory was fun, but I wish the difficulty started a little bit easier.
Submitted
Tether the WorldInteresting! Managed to reach global domination. The concept was nice, had a hard time figuring out what I had selected but I managed without.

Bodily FunctionsI've never played XCOM but I thought this concept was really fun. Finding cities, bases, and radars, prioritizing what missions to send out, really fun gameplay loop. Art was good, I wish there were some sound effects for the ui but I understand the time crunch leads to sacrifices! Could be a good speedrun game

Be Kind RewindWhile I've never played XCOM, I thought the concept and gameplay were pretty cool; one thing I would've liked to have were different sprites for the ufos themselves to more visibly distinguish between each type (but I assume you probably just ran out of time which is fine)
points for no South Sudan for time period accuracy

The MediatorI'm not typically a big fan of strategy games but this was so fun I couldn't stop playing it! Could use some polish for sure but this is amazing for a game jam!
Submitted
DescriptionaryThe game could use some polish, but otherwise the concept and the play was fun! Great game! ♥

Well Met, TravellerI like this game! I enjoyed the middle game especially, where I was still figuring out how the strategy worked but all of the powers were available to me. I think locations are randomized, which is cool. It would be nice, though, if the starting location was guaranteed to not be right next to an airplane - it makes playing through the tutorial virtually impossible, and I had to restart my first play because of that.
Submitted
The Black KnightYes the locations of everything is random.
> the starting location was guaranteed to not be right next to an airplane
Yes that's a good point. I think technically you could bank a few greys and send out multiple scouts at once and at least one would get through, but there's no way a new player would know that.
Oh dear lord , I played this one for way too long. Well balanced, nothing too brain-breaking but still enticed me to continue. I'd like to have had a bit more audio-visual feedback (some polish in general), but this is a Jam Entry so I feel it's well within scope ! Nice job !

ExcavatrisThis is an interesting and unique idea. Certainly the first game about an alien invasion ive seen so far. Good submission!

Mouse and CatHad fun playing. As an XCOM fan, I think I enjoyed it more.
Enough strategy to be simple and interesting but not complex.
More guidance and info would nice. I lost track of how to get psi, what uses it, and how much resources cost.
Fun take on theme.
Good job!
