Yeah, I was thinking of coming back to it eventually, for sure. I'd love to make the UI more captivating, adding maybe more a research element to it and making the star map a bit more interactive. Any help would be great, but I'll be upfront and say I might not have the time at the moment to dive fully into developing it, yet. 

Most of dialogue/emails and narrative text is written by me. However, there's some filler text, tutorial texts and such that were generated (which I did still go over and tweaked. We're talking tutorial stuff etc.I just wanted something there for now, so I can get a good idea of the flow).  The story however and overall design and flow of it was all me. I'll probably go back to go over all texts at some point to sharpen them.

Yeah, it's pretty rough in parts, I know some of the minigames don't work 100% properly, but none should lock out game play. My thought behind them was to give something to do, to feel more like a toybox you play with to fulfil the fantasy of being a deep space research scientist. But I would have loved to figure out some really elaborate puzzles and minigames that would be hidden in the signals that would be really alien. I also considered having someform of back and forth with some of the alien civilizations as well, but then didn't really want to make a chatbot.

Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it!

Thank you! Yeah, I think I got lucky with the music! :) In other waters is definitely on my to play list, now. I can’t believe I missed that one. 

Cheers! I used Claude Code for the brunt of the work in javascript. For the music, I used Suno. Basically a lot of iterating and bug hunting over the span of two weeks. But it was a surprisingly fun process. I'm sure if I had a better grasp on my coding skills, I could have spared more time and gotten even fancier stuff done. Doing this has in fact gotten me back into learning to code. 

thanks for the feedback! Nice to hear that people seem to like it! :D Yes, touchscreen implementation is on the list. It was what first  came to mind when I brainstormed the game. 

You’re right about the smaller asteroids, the give a smaller acore but dock a full amount of time and it doesn’t seem quite fair. So I’ll work on that in the next update. I’ll also be doing some general tweaks to the levels as well when I work on adding new ones. 

Thanks for the feedback! Yes! My original thought was to make this touch screen compatible, so I will most likely add it once I have the means to test it out on a touchscreen device.

cheers! That is a good idea. I’ll try and add an info page to the start menu that’ll explain how it all works! :)
