Our game has a trans character! https://shafoo.itch.io/keep-breathing

Graphics, music and atmosphere of your game are so on point! Everything feels satisfying, seeing the radio waves connect and disconnect, discovering the aliens on the radio and hearing their voice for the first time... but this is only once you know how the game works :p

Before reading the tutorial I went all in and was completely lost, wondering what to do to get that alien face showing in the screenshots haha. Maybe having more labels on the dashboard would help.

I don't know if new content is in the works but I look forward to connect with new aliens over the radio. Loved your game!

Regarding the following point:

it's a little annoying just to replay a level I've already beaten

I was thinking the same and I would have liked for the doors' words to be randomly switched each try from a pool of related needs (first level has bread but it could also have sleep and water, ...).

Climbing Maslow's pyramid by choosing between one of three doors each level make for a short but entertaining game, it even has a happy ending!

Now, sometimes I misclicked after finishing painting a door and it skipped the level part which was frustrating (I was not really counting the number of brush strokes and tried to be too fast). It made me miss the next "need" and I had to choose a random door. Could you remind the player of the "need" that needs to be picked when choosing a door? maybe at the top right? Unless hiding it is a game mechanic, then it doubles as a serious game for people that don't know the tower of Maslow by heart like me haha.

I also found the paint roller so cute (it reminds me of Splatoon) but why is it just staying at the top right of the screen? it doesn't seem so useful and I feel it is out of place here, I would have liked it to be put it in the hands of the player.

Lastly, the mouse pointer being always red was confusing to me, I wanted it to match the paint.

That's the plan!

 Thanks for taking the time to check my prototype :D
