Great game. I love this idea
Well, a great game for a one day jam!!! I like the idea of capturing waves, the satellites felt too slow but I guess that's the point of the game :) It was interesting duality that the waves also can feed your research - so serves both as attack and benefit. Anyway, nice entry!
Cute art style! I like the wonky shapes, and it was fun to drag stuff around and make a mess while trying to progress. Nice job putting this together in only one day :open_mouth:
Game froze after this screen. Otherwise pretty fun little game.

Really cool idea and great controls, it feels very smooth to play.
For my taste, the progression moves a bit too quickly. I think it would be even more engaging if upgrades required catching signals for a bit longer, so you can sink more into the loop.
But overall, I really enjoyed it!
Morally speaking, this is the game you want to lose; that's what I thought after seeing the "losing the game" message; it didn't show which wave I died on, and I guess I didn't pay enough attention to the number to remember myself. It got challenging relatively quickly, but the upgrades were coming in often, and they were lovely (especially the speed, since satellites move pretty slow). That was certainly an interesting experience! Also, I love the pretty night sky and how you drew the planet ^^
An interesting idea. It’s quite difficult though, or maybe I just didn’t fully get it. Could use some sound effects too!
great game, especially given the time left you had to develop it !
This is great given the circumstances! I did run into a bug where when the research menu popped up while moused down, my cursor continued dragging a satellite around after coming out of menu.
Shame about the post-scarcity utopia!
My experience was I got spammed by upgrades every 3-6 seconds, not sure if that was bug or intended but I managed to roleplay that this is due to may unfair favors from the government. The story / premise is very good, the gameplay idea is fine and I could feel getting a bit hooked into the idea of blocking signals, but lack of time available to put into the final game idea is evident. Considering you had only around one day the result is damn impressive.
Pretty neat idea! Handling the satelites was kind of hard, but I assume that's part of the game :D
Nice game idea! I agree that it is quite hard to handle the satellites. I had fun playing.
