Hi, nice game and congratulations ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.

Neat concept! I included it in my compilation video series of Ludum Dare 36, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/taJ6gW4nG1g

I'm surprised you didn't get more comments, this game is really cool!
I really like the radio scanning, and how the distance affects the length of the message and the frequency affects the clarity of it, very well made.
It's really fun exploring the planets and finding all the messages, I played it for quite a while but didn't manage to reach any end,I got to 85 energy and explored every tile of all 3 levels, but what now? I don't know how to continue..

the artwork is really nice, especially the spaceship part, It looks really cool. The music though is the best, it's perfect for this game.
I think you could at least mirror the player sprite when turning left/right, it shouldn't be hard to do.

I enjoyed this game, so thanks for posting it!
