  • Marvellous fun to play, I was really stumped by the major puzzles but felt good when I cracked them which is a big part of the adventure game feedback loop for me. The premise was an inspired use of the theme and very well realised.
  • This game is absolutely great. The setting and story is fun and the puzzles are challenging yet completely logical. If you do a post-jam version, I'd just say try to draw more attention to those hard to find buttons on the phone. Nothing worse than getting stuck on a game simply because a tiny hotspot was missed.
  • Great story, following the theme in a wonderful way. Very fun and logical, with nice puzzles. I got stuck because I couldn't see a hotspot. Great entry.

Lovely presentation. I like the foreign language being translated real time and the irony of UFO people!

Developer

Very fun game with some interesting mechanics that made for some fairly hard puzzles, lots of trial and error on my part. I guess with more time the other places on the map might've been used as well ;)

Developer

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you were able to finish it! Yeah, decided to scale back a little because of time.

ARRGhhghgh I can't figure out the phone code, I'm so stuck :-(

Just realized I may have spoiled something so editing the comment. The phone code as such is not important but the phone may be useful for something else.

You chose a setting that provides a lot of great humor with ease. Poor visitor!
