I thought creating fonts takes a really long time? :O Cozy game, for sure.

Two small problems: it is easy to accidentally lose a figure behind the edge of the screen, so I would need to start over; after the second scan I get two round holes and one squared, and circle, square and rhombus to fit in... Or do I miss something?"},{"author_name":"hexagore","author_uid":"34027","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 2:41pm","epoch":1418049360,"text":"Really nice game.

Waiting in the Sky is a game about watching an alien race, Humans, waiting for the right time to make contact. The entire game is played on one screen as you screen radio transmissions on the in-game computer screen. I'm pretty happy with how the game came out.
