Cool setting! The idea of diffusing an alien bomb is really neat.
I think the gameplay could use some tweaking... some sort of memory mechanic or a bigger glyph translation guide that the user has to sift through.
Overall, nice job!

How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
My game Alien-Box, is entirely centered around the theme of "Explosion" and the object "The Box."
The special object is the "Void Crypt" (The Box): an alien artifact that serves as a complex puzzle interface. The entire gameplay experience revolves around this box, which is the source of all the enigmas.
The relationship with the "Explosion" theme is the ultimate stake: every second is a countdown. The player must decipher and disarm the Crypt by solving its xenolinguistics puzzles; failure to do so before time runs out will trigger a catastrophic alien nuclear explosion, making the explosion the constant, looming game over.
