I wasn't prepared for it, but I definetly had a run in between, when I thought, I was truly one of them. I somehow just knew. XD Great artwork, sounds and game design. Everything went smoothly!

Great concept, music, and art. There’s nothing to complain about.

The papercut art style is super cute, and I really liked it. The overall look of the game feels very cozy and pleasing.

Wow, this is really an interesting game. The concept of biology is quite fascinating.

I will forever cherish the memory of the day my absolute nonsense of a translation led to two alien diplomats starting a family. The art style is absolutely gorgeous. Great job!

美术质量太高了! 要在三天内准备这么大量的插画和素材实在太厉害了 游戏本身也很耐玩,音乐搭配得也很合适,这不是免费游戏的质量吧!

The exposition comic and atstyle in general is great!

zozieee 2026-04-22 19:05

I wasn’t fully prepared for it, but I definitely had a moment where I felt like I truly belonged there I just knew. XD The artwork, sound design, and gameplay are all fantastic. Everything flowed smoothly!

This is very interesting and unusual! You're cool!

hi there! it is such a cool idea and an implementation of the theme :) i got really invested not only in translating but also trying my best to solve an intergalactic conflict! i probably wish that depending on my translation the options to choose would also change (like become more angry), but that is probably too much to ask :D i also noticed that i am mostly relying on common sense and can guess which option is the most viable without looking at the characters! or was that the intention? great art style as well!

This is AWESOME!!! Great art!

doridie 2026-04-23 19:32

A cool idea, very well executed. At first I tried to match syllables to the audio waves, but then I focused on the conversation and that worked much better. Nice story, great sound and awesome artwork!

Funny great experience) and great visual. Good job!Screenshot_20260423_223334.png

The game's concept is absolutely brilliant! It was fun to play, but it's perhaps not entirely clear what else besides emotion you need to focus on to choose the correct answers. However, this only adds to the interest and motivates you to get a better understanding and replay it again.

I really want to highlight the game's visual style – it really hits the spot – very stylish and beautiful.

faust-mi 2026-04-24 11:27

Cool and Funny concept, music, art. I had fun playing and deciphering the signals.

GoOoOoD work! You are amazing!

stormdrill 2026-04-25 17:42

The visuals really surprised me! I think if you build on this and polish the animations to be a bit smoother, it’ll be awesome. The characters look great. For some reason, it gives me major throwback vibes-felt like I was playing a Flash game from 20 years ago, haha!)

paulsams 2026-04-26 12:19

In general, a normal game. But there are so many cards that it's better to write them down somewhere, or you'll have to strain your memory very hard to remember them all. After all, it is not always possible to guess by emotion and curve. We made a similar language game, but the emphasis is on both sides.: both decryption and encryption. But your game may be simple, but there is still something to play. But it really hurt that couldn't skip the opening cutscene)... :sweat_smile:

Really cool concept and awesome chara-design and sound design !

It was hard to understand how the translation system worked at first, but we got the grip really fast :)

Really really great art.

allax 2026-04-28 15:01

Very nice idea, and great art style. I like it a lot

venomousmouse 2026-05-02 10:54

Great visual and nice mechanic. Well done.

The artwork is absolutely stunning, with lots of lively little comics. The options in each round are designed to align perfectly with the basic logic of negotiation, and combining signals with facial expressions and dialogue is a really interesting concept.
