Nice work, glad you got the aliens in the end! And thanks for the positive review. You are right about the game being too text heavy, maybe a future round will have us revamp the 'world building'.

dont get me wrong! It's a great way to show the text! It's there for the player to read, or not read if they wish. It's not stuck behind lengthy cut scenes or slow unskippable dialogue. Its a smart and respectable compromise. Getting text right in games is hard and requires a ton of gameplay testing. This is a smart solution for game jams I haven't encountered often.
You are right, who knows what are the future challenges?
