the truth is out there 👽👽👽

It's a cool game, with beautiful animations—but I can't get past the third broadcast. It keeps giving me the game over. Is that how it should be?

But otherwise, the animations are really cool, and the sounds are funny — great job!

A really neat atmospheric experience! Loved the way the art (audio and visuals) all complement each other--felt really cohesive, art-direction-wise. I want to believe 🛸🛸🛸

I like the concept. I wish it would have a longer duration with story-driven events.

This is great! We had similar ideas; it's interesting to see how you all imagined it.

Nice game. I really enjoyed it, not difficult or anything, just a nice relaxing game. The graphics were great, but (at least for me), I felt rotating the knobs with the mouse was a bit difficult. Other than that, well done!

Really cool idea, and I liked how there were multiple levels of "scramble" to get through. Definitely a concept that deserves fleshing out!

Neat little game. Loved the graphics and sound, gameplay was pretty neat though the controls are a bit fiddly with a mouse.

Excellent work -- well done!

It looks very atmospheric, and I really like the audio design. At first, I didn’t understand how to use the circular controls—I expected them to require matching the mouse movement along the circle, but it turned out to be much simpler

Neat concept! I love the atmosphere, it's kinda spooky. It'd be nice if there were a couple more broadcasts, and perhaps a more clear ending.

Brilliant game! A shame it's so short. I had a similar idea for tuning into signals for my game but you implemented it so well! Very intuitive gameplay. Great art and atmosphere! I was pretty spooked when I saw the second image clear up :sweat_smile:

Nice idea, the sounds are very satisfying as well as the atmosphere of the game. Well done!

Loved the theme and the mood, loved tinkering with the knobs, even if I had a bit of trouble understanding how to actually turn them at first (it was a bit counter-intuitive to have to move my mouse up and down to turn the knob left and right) After a few tries I got the hang of it and could decrypt files faster than my assigned FBI agent.

Great entry !

Short, simple, to the point. The dial controls were confusing at first. I expected to have to make a circular motion. I like the art!

short and sweet! i liked the music a lot and all the descrambling interactions felt very intuitive. with a story throughline i think this would be really solid!

The text popping up disappeared way too fast, I didn't have time to read it at all. Turning the knobs felt counterintuitive (like i was moving mouse left and right and couldn't quite figure out how to turn those knobs conveniently). The visuals in the screen looked pretty cool. I like the alien/conspiracy/illuminati theme going on in the game. The main screen (desk) fits the atmosphere fell. But in the end, I kept failing - because of the knobs, ig :') Fits the jam theme well, tho!

A fairly simple but atmospheric game! It would be cool to add a narrative here to find out what kind of signal we actually received...

Cool game but short. And I wish some intaraction with enviroment.
