The tutorial was unclear as to whether you need to find colour plus shape or color or shape but I eventually figured it out after playing a bunch of times. Also, as someone else noted, the shapes in the tutorial were very light and I nearly didn't see them. I ended up finding three of the four endings but couldn't figure out what the conditions were for ending 3. I quite liked the abstract design of the people and iconography but the screen felt a bit sparse so maybe a park background or something to go with it? It was a nice chill experience even though an alien invasion seems rather dire!

Really chill, clean looks, simple loop. Initially worried by the similar shapes but the feedback sounds from selecting it made it more then good enough. 

Really liked the experience.

The game is so cool. I really like the art and gameplay directions. But I'm not sure if its just me but for the tutorial the shapes are so light i missed it the first time and got really confused lol. regardless I'm a big fan

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Yeah our one friend also had the same problem with the shapes in the tutorial. Really shows how important a variety of testing can be

The game is very stylish and it works really well, its a great idea, the difficulty ramps up too quickly that said still love the art direction. (Also just as a note I'm colour blind and the pink?/purple? and blue?/purple? kind looked the same to me so i ignored the colours and only focus on the shapes, just something to keep in mind, for us assigning a shape AND a symbol/shape are best not a OR)

Sorry to hear about the colourblind limitation. We will definitely keep that in mind in the future!

With the difficulty ramping, we actually never got around to implementing it, so the difficulty stays consistent. The only thing is that each person has a chance of being an alien and that chance can cause it to have interesting ebbs and flows in the difficulty.

Thank you for playing!
