How to Understand Alien by Seven from SevenToad

[raw]
made by Seven from SevenToad for LD 40 (COMPO)

How to Understand Alien is a game about deciphering an alien language. As a linguist, you are in charge of decoding the content of confidential document from the alien species "Kelongola."

You have 300 seconds to guess what the document says and write a report to instruct the next action humans should take. However your the numbers of guesses you can make is limited, so be aware of the pattern of the Kelongola language.

Thanks for playing. Enjoy!


Ps. The game kind of only runs on 19201080 resolution at this moment...In other resolution some of the texts might be cropped. Oops...a bit too late to change now, so please choose 19201080 if possible.

Very nice game, english is not my native langage so i think i'm missing some vocabulary, but i really like the atmosphere, the mood and the concept of the game. The only problem i have is i cant correct a word if i write it badly. Other than that i can only say congratz to you :)

I have problems getting it to run. The whole screen is shifted to the side so half the text is cut off. A pity, It looks very promising.

I can't select the resolution that you recommend above. The highest I can go is 1680x1050.

Let me know if you find a fix, I'll be back to try again.
