I enjoyed the idea but didn't like the execution part (the gameplay part, the art is very good).

There are few suggestions (I understand that during the jam time is limited so it's just for potentioal enhancements).

• Get rid of the timer lose condition. It just creates pressure making the already difficult task frustrating. It's still coundown-ish if it just beeps and has no gameplay effect.
• Make levels longer, simpler and more focused on a specific part of the language.
  • Making them longer (you need to fix 3-5 bombs in a row or restart from the beginning) decreases hte chance of player completing the level randomly (withput understanding new words)
  • Making them simpler and more focused increases the chance of player understanding the new concept.
    • For example, "Cut red wire" and 5 wires, only one of them red. ""Cut red wire" again. And again. And then "Cut green wire". This will ensure there player pays attention to them same "Cut ___  wIre" part and changing "___ color ___" part
• Make space for players to draw their own notes. Like a separete screen. (Maybe with prewritten simbols)
  • The player most likely already seen all colors and used them, so they know the mechanic. But they do not remember it well and always checking the screen to learn which color what symbol means is just a boring routine.
  • It will create a sense of progress
    • Players will see how much language they know already. They will their progress.
    • Based on how many unlearned symbols there are, players could guess how many levels are left, which makes them more likely to finish the game

Very interesting game. Great job!

Great game. Got stuck on a part until I ragequitted, can anyone tell me what it meant when (Some Number)(P on saucepan)(One of floor directions)(Among us).  And 67 easter egg.

Managed to guess my way through the first 10 wires before starting to decrypt anything. Started to get the hang of it towards the end. Love the game.

Super cool art and the intro and ambience inside the UFO was great. Before learning how to play, I was liking the cat with the cursor like animation haha. Simple gameplay loop but effective. It was a nice pattern recognition game.

I am sending this to all my conlanging friends.

I'll be so honest my brain did not process what was going on! The art was too funny

it's like decoding and deducing at the same time! this was pretty fun

and of course very cute artwork!

I felt smart when I first managed to understand the language!

Great idea, maybe the music/alarm were a bit loud while figuring out the words, but I guess it reinforced immersion ;)
