This is extremely cool, it gives me so many different ways to play, find the anomalies and replayability is here for sure! great work!New Bitmap image (2).png

I enjoyed for a good 5 minutes before i got bored, Excellent visual design / UI , it did take me a little while to understand i was purchasing new things, great immersive audio, and very cool concept utilizing theme!
Very nice and original incremental game. It becomes extremely satisfying once everything spirals out of control with recursion and second-order effects after a bit of playtime.
Great game! It was fun catching the signals, and by the end, there was so much going on on the screen—it was awesome :D
Had a nice time playing! Took me some time to understand what was expected from me and how to catch those anomalies, but overall very addicting and makes you feel the process, become a satellite. It also lets you make some crazy chaotic patterns or search cosmos methodically, I liked it!
The design is really nice, and it’s an interesting concept. I definitely noticed a sharp spike in my income when I figured out to point the large antennas at each other, which allowed me to buy all the upgrades in the store in literally less than a minute. It also wasn’t very obvious to me that you can rotate the map by right-clicking in the PC version; I figured that out too late. Be sure to finish this prototype-it’s a great idea.

This was a pleasure to play! I am very into ideas with recursive growth, and this game definitely it! It starts a little slow progression in my run, but then it rapidly grows once I buy anomaly echo instead of spending all the money on antennas! Great game!
Great concept, incredibly satisfying to figure out the combinations and their usage. Mesmerized by the visuals and the design tbh, outstandingly tasteful minimalism🫶

Borderline genius - one of my favourite entries so far.
A very cool spin on an incremental game (with a kind of narrative goal?). And the signal reflection mechanic is perfect. Vibing very hard with this one.
Criminally underrated entry! My colleagues have already said everything so I'll just say congrats on making this game it's stunning!

wow this is so geniusly made! The art style really is very effective and sends chills down my spine. Would love more anomaly types though.

Great concept, but the start could use some tighter pacing, maybe give more money in average from the get-go so the player can place antennas sooner and faster? Otherwise you just wait a lot for enough money to do one click, then wait on some more.
In games like cookie clicker, you can spam click so you always have something you can do, and the upgrades are smaller but cost less, so you buy them often.
But yeah one of the cooler concepts so far definitely and the visuals are top notch (also our game uses a terminal as well, so it was fun seeing another one, even if its just to log info)
I love the style and overall vibe, it's right up my ally. Just enough for you get an idea in your head of what's going wrong. I ended up mostly ignoring the redirecting antennae and just used anomaly chaining for most scans, but they were neat when I did try them.
Really great entry.
This is the best entry I’ve seen so far in terms of gameplay and theme. Congrats!
immaculate vibe and atmosphere, wish it would be longer
Gets out of hand very quickly. Excellent!

My favorite entry from the jam so far!! awesome stuff!!
I thought clicker-type games lived from their story aspect BUT this one actually has puzzle-like game play! Very engaging and well done!
I love incremental games, and this one is no exception. I loved getting that bouncing chain, and the way the money skyrocketed after some of the upgrades was epic.
I did struggle at the end, though. After 8 photos, I couldn’t get more. I was a multimillionare lol, which was awesome, and the waves were going out so far and so fast! I had everything unlocked, and I’d often get purple pings to scan that anomaly x more times, but even after it reached 1, it would never finish and would eventually revert to like 20 more times.
Other than that, it was great, and I love the concept!
A really cool incremental! I like the positional aspect of it, though I will say it took me a while to realize I could move the viewfinder; by the time I figured it out I had already gone exponential, so as soon as I set some radars outside of the starting zone, I found all 10 pictures instantly, lol. Great job!
