Whoa! What a GEM! Your game has a superb athmosphere and the feeling of wandering through the black via LIDAR is beautiful. Did you use some shader to do the lidar thing? It really was a game changer. Also congrats for audio! Great atmosphere overall!
Stunningly beautiful game. I made it to the end, but even without the finale, it’s still incredibly captivating. Very atmospheric.
I flew around the planet and didn't find anything.
at first I thought that something had to be done with the crystals)) by control: usually Q - down, E - up
Love how tranquil but slightly unsettling the atmosphere is. The LIDAR dots are very cool.
Very nice LIDAR shader (I guess)!
The humming was well executed and the controls felt natural. Reminded me of Outer Wilds!
Well done!

Awesome use of Signal. Love how it marks points in cone shape. one of the best entries I have tried!
Signal theme was totally met. The visuals or rather the particle system you used was a great visual touch. Maybe it's personal preference but inverting Q and E would've felt more natural to me. Maybe failing when hitting a wall too hard could've been implemented.
Really good mood. Loved the LIDAR scanner and the dots signifying how far away something is. Really atmospheric, wish it had more exploration!
Pretty neat idea, and the atmosphere was nice. The idea of having the crystals light up when you pass them so you can tell if you've been to a place before was clever, although I still became hopelessly lost, heh.
What an amazing and relaxing game! I spent a good amount of time playing. The first time I found the crystal, it said "mission completed," but then it changed to "fatal error." So I played again, exploring more tunnels, and the same thing happened. I don't know if I won or not, haha. Overall, it's very good.
If you have a moment to rate my game, I would appreciate it :)

This concept of the outer space is very interesting. The way it introduces the topic and conveys the signal exchange with the extraterrestrial world is very effective. I really like it.
This has to be one of the most eerie and atmospheric games I've played so far. the suspense and even claustrophobia was fantastic. I really liked how the background humming got louder the closer I got to the centre. The Lidar scanning was ingenious too. making that the only way you can navigate, Brilliant. Fantastic game, well done.
This was a lot of fun to play! Flying around (and in) the asteroid feels great, and the gameplay loop is really engaging. The controls are super smooth and responsive. Awesome job!
Nice game! I love the "color dots in the dark tunnel aesthetic". Reminded me of water slides =).
I tried twice, as the first time I managed to lost myself in the first tunnels and as the final message is "connection lost", I wanted to know how I could have missed the way, and if I had missed anything that could have change the end. At least I found the answer for the first :laughing:
