Thanks for playing! And yeah we saw the asset pack early on and decided to use it as it fits our plan quite well.
As for the game, yeah I'm afraid we kinda ran out of time to get our pause menu working without breaking the game. It's somehow bugged and we can't figure it out in time so we disabled it. For that reason we don't have a way to unlock your cursor and we're sorry for the issue it caused ya. The receiving message is a bit finicky to do but basically you need to rotate the dish around to face the incoming message.
And for feeling lonely, ya I understand, which means it kinda did what we set out to do. As mention in the "how this game fit the theme" section: "Connecting trillions of people across the cosmos, surely one will not feel alone when standing at the confluence of countless messages... right?".
Anyways. once again, thank you so much for playing! ^_^
