How does your game fit the theme?
An ion storm is approaching the player's stranded space ship (the "storm") and the player must use their communications console (the "comm", pun on "calm") to contact other spacefarers to get them out of this predicament.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes. The team did all of the artwork. Non-game specific code (engine and frameworks) have been credited within the game.

I liked this a lot, it was pretty funny, the artwork was really nice
Perfect game jam project. Great theme implementation. Very fun characters and story, well done!
Hee-ho. Interesting game. Nice
Short, sweet and funny visual novel, enjoyed it quite a bit! Would've been great if it had been more involved, but its good as is.
I enjoyed the art and clever writing, and the gameplay was smooth. The character designs and dialogues were particularly well done. Great job!

The game was an absolute hoot of an adventure! Went by like a rabbit though, I kinda wish there were more endings. The art was good and that ending was shelled out well.
I couldn't resist the punsThe visuals are nice, the gameplay is good,
Great art and sound of scanner!
The art is really cool, title is smart and the dialogues are cute. The ending of the story was unexpected, and I'm curious about if there could be other endings. The one thing I liked the most is the sound of the messages, that little typing sound. That's my favourite part about this game, I don't know if that sounds weird :D
Cheers!
The typing sound was a default asset from Dialogic 2. We intended to remove it so that it wouldn’t sound like other Dialogic VNs, but that got missed in the wake of other things we had to scrape together at the last minute.
Next time we will definitely try to get in some additional endings!
Great little story and the character designs are quite clever.
Great game! Thanks for making this.
The characters and dialogue are very good, overall lacks atmosphere a bit, but the use of the theme and the pun is pretty unique so you get some points for that too.
Henrietta needs to chill. Great character design and dialogues! Well done :D
I love the pun; the art is unique, and the story intrigues me!
