I really should've gotten a cable connection by pidifussel

You got the brilliant idea of buying a TV station with transmission satellites! Send TV transmissions to the homes of your customers and keep their happiness up. Buy upgrades to make your life easier and retire from the business of satellite television.

(press 'Space' to transmit the signal to a nearby device)

Heyyy guys, so the .exe and html file dont work like intended because some features are sadly missing, we dont know why. If you want to have the whole experience please download the zip or take a look into our github repo.

Sadly I seem to always have null as money in the shop which I presume is just a bug. Also getting to the moon in time seems to be quite out of my control. Other than I love the vibe. It feels cute and reminds me of Outer Wilds in the way the solar system feels very at home.

I THINK IT'S THE BEST GAME I PLAYED TILL NOW IN THESE JAM!I HAVE PLAYED MORE THAN 10 TIMES IN THIS GAME AND THINK THIS IS A PERFECT EXPERIENCE: PERFECT MUSIC, PERFECT PIXEL, ART AND A REALLY HUMOROUS STORY: THE BAD CONNECTION. 真的很有趣的一个游戏,是我目前玩到的最好玩的一个了,我玩了超过10遍,感觉是一个完整度很高,有完美像素艺术,音乐和超级幽默的关于糟糕信号的笑话。OH BUT I THINK THE UPGRADE SHOP HAS SOME BUG? I CAN'T BUY THINGS IN IT()

@xientra Thanks for playing our game :). Yeah the null value error and the shop not working were caused when we created the HTML and exe file and we had no time to fix it sadly. The zip file contains the entire WORKING godot project, with a working shop.

@mr-tj Just an FYI but fixing bugs after the deadline is allowed, especially game breaking bugs like this one. Just don't add any features or content and your golden.

As for the game I really enjoyed it. It was really good fun whizzing my signal across the cosmos to peoples' homes. I really like the improvisation for cloud effects. A very fun concept. Good stuff :8ball:

Need a volume slider for the web version, it's too loud. It's a cool concept, but it's almost impossible to capture a satellite on the moon. After 4 days, I'm frustrated with the slow progress. It's challenging. However, if the concept were more intuitive and balanced, I would enjoy playing for an hour.

Tested the web version here so maybe that's why I encountered some bugs ? The shop wasn't working and always took me back to Monday when I selected it instead of "next day".

At first I had trouble understanding what I had to do but then I got the hang of it and it was fun. I was planning my route around space to deliver signal everywhere. It's nice that the orbits were the same each day, this way I knew how to get to the asteroid quickly. The only problem I had was if I went to an asteroid whith no home I would almost always loose because waiting for another sattelite to come by took too much time.

Overall it's simple and efficient. Good job.

I had a bit of trouble understanding the main goal. What exactly should I manage to do within a day? If the task is to send signals to clients, it might help to show their locations more clearly.

I am not on Windows, so I could only try the web version. Anyway the gameplay that is available there feels really nice, and I would happily keep playing.

Please tag me when you fix the issues and upload an updated HTML version, I would love to try it again!

I really like the idea and the kind-of rhythm game that comes from matching the satellite speeds. Also, implementing a shop with upgrades is quite cool so kudos for that. The only problem I found is that (i think) the UI feels off in the html5 version. No big deal tho! Good job :3

it's fun mechanic, I didn't get how should I find the house but guessing. Wish these some indication where the signal should reach. Also, as others mentioned, the bug with upgrade shop, it shows null money, so I can't buy anything. Overall nice game
