The animation looks fun and I like the art! The gameplay is a bit unclear to me sadly, I got stuck at the second phase.

I tried a bunch of times to find the signal on the zoomed continent in level 2 and I could not find anything! I even zoomed in and basically pixel hunted but I could not see or hear any difference. Was I doing something wrong?

@Last angle thank you !
Yep Kristinamay sorry you played the version I pushed on LD site and the point you were searching for might have spawned in border water mb..

Cute graphics and nice music. But couldn't really understand the gameplay unfortunately. I didn't quite understand the correlation between the sound and the islands, and when I found the correct one I couldn't locate it because there was no signal anywhere? Perhaps I missed something

I give up. I can't make it past phase 1. I know it's possible because I managed to accidentally do it once, but even if the game were just picking a random continent then I should at least be getting it right one out of every four times I try, and that is definitely not happening.

I went to check the source code to figure out what I was doing wrong, but you haven't actually posted the entire game source, only the *.cs files, which I believe is against the rules (the source should include everything required for somebody else to build your game).

@henk you're unlucky, its 1/4
Otherwise I know this game has huge problems of rules/QOL/gameplay-polish and every feedback I got was about this.

I thought it was quite useless to push the entire unity project stuff. I might push some other assets (art, sfx and music) later. If you want to try again, I updated "HELP" section on LD site.

I’m afraid I had to give up out of confusion too, but I do have to note that I like the sound effects themselves (even though I couldn’t figure out what to do with them) and the art—the opening cutscene with the UFO arrival was charming. Good job on that front.
