I'm taking feedback and ideas ... if they are doable I'll implement them.

I had a project that was just a smidgen too ambitious for my skillset ... when keeping the 48 time limit in mind. So for those who already gave it a spin... Now there's a post jam version and this is the list of adjustments - I suppose it's about 80% bug fixes.. but I added some QoL things as well.

This is the adjusted in-game look:

Post-Jam Update 🚀

Been polishing the jam version and pushed a post-jam update with a bunch of improvements:

New Features * Hardcore Mode added * Double incident spawns * Increased chance of high-threat events * God Mode added (learning/sandbox mode) * Reveals incident types for training * Includes speed control

Gameplay Improvements * Scanning system reworked * Each scan level now locks to a single consistent description * Signal readings now better adhere to intended min/max ranges ** Makes scan progression feel more readable and reliable * Incidents are now clickable * Camera now moves and centers on selected incidents * Added particle traces for improved signal/threat visualization

UI / Feedback * General UI polish pass * Cleaned up the incident information screen * Smoother camera behavior and overall readability improvements

Thanks to everyone who tried the jam build and gave feedback — this version is already much closer to the game I imagined. 👽🌍

Hi all,

I have been updating my game post jam two times and I'm doing a session later today with a bunch of other game devs (they each work on their own projects - but a small gathering of likeminded people). You don't need to rate anything - I got the 20+ ratings I need. So here goes - if ANYONE got any ideas of something to add or some adjustments that would improve the experienc.. I'm all ears.

And thank you for all the feedback and ratings
