It's funny, we took a quite similar approach of the theme concerning radio wave and working around the antenna, but you did so in a deeper story, lore wise.\nReally great to see how a similar thought produced completely different games.\n\nI had some trouble understanding what I was controlling, but as a game jam game, it is a good problem to have when there's only this that pops up first.
