Okay, thank you for considering!

Hello! My android system doesn't include the ability to run 32 bit programs after the manufacturer went and ruined people's fun

Curious if any future update plans will include support for Android devices running only arm64-v8a Such as the dreaded Google Pixel 7  as the game does look quite promising, and I'd love to try it out!

Glad to hear it!

Playing on an Android Google Pixel 7 

Amazingly well-thought out and High-effort for something made by a single developer! Art style is both incredibly well done and fits well with the retro style. The controls may have a bit of a learning curve, especially if you're not using a gamepad, but can be easily re-arranged in the menu. Mechanics-wise the game can be somewhat difficult to learn, as it's not all handed to you immediately, and instead drip-fed to you through lore notes obtained via exploration (though, it does quite feel like the nostalgic difficulty of the older retro titles, which also did similar!) After the initial hurdle of learning the mechanics, the combat and elemental circuit systems feel quite smooth and satisfying to use. (the chemistry nerd in me squealed with joy upon seeing that the sodium element was placed just before the underwater segment.)

I encountered almost no issues in my playthrough of the demo until a cutscene bug consistently froze my game (though sound would still play) after Eva's fight outside of the cavern. I also had encountered the same issue with two previous cutscenes, namely the cutscene when a game is first created and when you are initially dropped into the cavern, these were easily bypassed by simply skipping the affected scenes however. The cutscene after Eva's fight was not skippable, and my game is currently stuck there.

Overall, this looks like a very promising project, and I'll definitely be purchasing the full game once it's ready. 

Game also has an adorable cat complete with cute sound effects. This has not biased my review at all. Nuh-uh. Nope. Nada.

Decided to go and take a second look at the algorithm.

Potential Spoilers Ahead, go play the game first, you won't regret it.

Finished a second playthrough to re- experience the game today, all while recording the appearances of the algorithm text. I'm no cryptologist or Linguist, but it does seem like it could be a readable language to me. It's 2:40 AM as im posting this, safe to say I got pretty sucked into this little project, ahaha.

Took a good while, but I think I've managed to grab all the appearances of the red algorithm text. Took a bit of rearranging too, seeing as the text is all wobbly, flipped and mirrored when you encounter it in the game, but my sleep-deprived ass somehow managed to do it.

Here's what I've got so far if anyone else would like to take a crack at actually decoding the thing.

Today is indeed the day. I am entirely not prepared to spend quality time with our floof boi and co. whilst simultaneously experiencing HEARTBREAKING LEVELS of COSMIC TREPIDATION
