Looks very exciting to play but even know about typing numbers and using E for terminal interaction it was pretty frustrating to play, unfortunately.

The atmosphere and sounds are very charming. And what you're in a spaceship rescaling planets is so fun concept to play with!

The game lacks visual feedback and clear in-game goal description but very shines as an atmospheric art game!

Thank you very much, yes as the dev it was obvious for me how the controls work but in hindsight i can see how it would be confusing. Im glad you enjoyed it tho and ill make sure to learn from it :)

I feel you. You can check other submissions and see that you're not alone in that regard :)

It looks very exquisite, but I haven’t figured out the game controls yet.

Thank you, The controls are standard WASD, Interact with the Terminals with E. And type in numbers. You get these numbers from the board. Hope that helps

Thank you for the detailed explanation of the gameplay. However, I’m not sure if it’s an issue with my computer, but when I pressed E, nothing happened. I really like the concept of your game. I enjoy admiring the universe in the small space and appreciate the somewhat lonely feeling it evokes. The music and visuals complement each other very well. Although I haven’t officially started playing the game yet, I already like it a lot.

wow thanks. Each Terminal has (E) on it, walk up to it, you have to be within range, press e, the e on screen wont remove. just start typing in numbers. Maybe you got confused cause the E didnt remove. Again im new to this time of game, so thats on me

Thank you again for your detailed explanation! I replayed your game, and it was very enjoyable. When creating my own game, I encountered similar challenges. I had my friend playtest it, but they took a long time to understand the gameplay. Based on their feedback, I modified the tutorial levels to make them more understandable. If you release new projects in the future, I’d be happy to participate in game testing and provide feedback on whether players can easily grasp the gameplay.
