I was a bit lost in terms of what to do - but looks great.
The puzzles are a little convoluted - most of them seem to just require some random guessing. This wouldn't be so bad but with the timer and slow movement it gets tedious and after two tries I gave up.
I did watch the playthrough so I can see that I ended up missing a pretty sweet payoff at the end, so it's a shame it wasn't a little easier to figure out.
Still, I really liked the overall ambience of the game, and once again, great visuals. My game is also about terraformers living on Mars - although this is not something that's actually stated at any point in the game :)
I had a hard time figuring out what to do (i only had 2/4 goals) without your playthrough but It was a nice puzzle to solve.
